In their own words
LibreNMS
LibreNMS is a free, self-hosted network monitoring system with device support. It can discover networks using CDP, FDP, LLDP, OSPF, BGP, SNMP, and ARP. Customizable alerts can be sent through email, IRC, Slack, and other transports, while the API can manage installations, create graphs, and retrieve data. Distributed polling supports horizontal scaling. Documented functions include VLAN, ARP and FDB collection, traffic billing, syslog, service monitoring, and customizable dashboards. Integrations include Oxidized, RANCID, NfSen, Smokeping, Graylog, and Nagios plugins. Authentication choices include MySQL, LDAP, Active Directory, and HTTP, with two-factor authentication also documented. Installation guides cover CentOS and Ubuntu, and Docker images are available. Native iPhone and Android apps provide core functionality, and an online demo is available before installation. Community help is offered through Discord and a forum; commercial SLA-backed support and consultancy are available through partners.
