LibreNMS
Purpose
Open-source SNMP network monitoring, discovery, alerting, graphing and inventory.
Decision Summary
Strong network-monitoring candidate that complements Prometheus/Grafana.
Use Cases
Monitor routers, switches, firewalls, servers, UPS and printers; capacity graphs, alerts and API integration.
Field Notes
Use SNMPv3 where possible. Protect credentials, never enable unnecessary write communities, and tune discovery/alert noise.
Hardware Requirements
Linux, PHP/web server, MariaDB/MySQL, RRDtool, Redis and polling jobs; SSD and 4–8 GB RAM practical starting point.
Backup Strategy
Database, RRD files, config, device secrets, alerts, dashboards and custom MIBs.
Recovery Strategy
Restore matching version, DB/RRD/config; revalidate pollers, alerts and representative device graphs.
Secure Boot Notes
Not directly applicable to this software/service. Secure Boot depends on the host OS, endpoint or hypervisor; keep it enabled where supported.
Version History
Maintained monthly release model; pin current stable at implementation.
