Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
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 [Observium][9].
|
|
|
|
We intend LibreNMS to be a viable project and community that:
|
|
- encourages contribution,
|
|
- focuses on the needs of its users, and
|
|
- offers a welcoming, friendly environment for everyone.
|
|
|
|
The [Debian Social Contract][10] will be the basis of our priority system,
|
|
and mutual respect is the basis of our behaviour towards others. For more
|
|
about the culture we're trying to build, please read the [Freenode
|
|
philosophy][13], including [guidelines for running an IRC channel][6] and
|
|
[being a community catalyst][7].

VM image
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
You can try LibreNMS by downloading a VM image. Currently, a Ubuntu-based
|
|
image is supplied and has been tested with [VirtualBox][8].
|
|
|
|
Download the [VirtualBox / VMWare image][11] and open it then log in with credentials provided.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Add a new user by entering:
|
|
|
|
./adduser.php <username> <password> 10 <email>
|
|
|
|
replace <username>, <password> and <email> with a username, password and your email address.
|
|
|
|
From there, just point your web browser
|
|
to `http://librenms.example.com/` and login with your new username and password.
