LibreNMS is an autodiscovering PHP/MySQL/SNMP based network monitoring which includes support for a wide range of network hardware and operating systems including Cisco, Linux, FreeBSD, Juniper, Brocade, Foundry, HP and many more.
LibreNMS is a community-based fork of the last GPL-licensed version of Observium. LibreNMS intends to be a viable network monitoring project and community that:
- encourages contribution,
- focuses on the needs of its users, and
- offers a welcoming, friendly environment for everyone.
If you're visiting because of a mention on the Observium mailing list, please read our welcome to Observium users.
The Debian Social Contract will be the basis of our priority system, and mutual respect the basis of our behaviour towards others. For more about the culture we're trying to build, please read the Freenode philosophy, including guidelines for running an IRC channel and being a community catalyst.
For now documentation can be found in the doc directory.
See doc/INSTALL.md for details.
See doc/DEVEL.md for details.
You can participate in the project by:
- Joining the librenms-project mailing list to post questions and suggestions.
- Cloning the repo and filing bug reports and pull requests on github. See CONTRIBUTING for more details.
- Talking to us on Twitter or IRC.
- Improving the documentation.
You can try LibreNMS by downloading a VM image. Currently, a Debian-based image is supplied and has been tested with VMware Fusion 5.
Download the VMware Fusion 5 image at open it, and log in as root
with the password root. Enter the following commands:
cd /opt/librenms
git pull
php discover.php -h all
php poller.php -h all
You'll then need to find out the IP of your VM (ifconfig | grep add) and
create a DNS entry for librenms.example.com to point to that IP. You can
also edit your /etc/hosts file with the following line:
$ip librenms.example.com
where $ip is the IP of your VM. From there, just point your web browser
to http://librenms.example.com/ and login with username librenms and
password librenms.
