    LibreNMS is an open-source network monitoring system that can automatically discover devices on a network, monitor performance, and provide alerts. It supports over 100 vendors and device types through SNMP. The document discusses installing LibreNMS, adding over 292 devices to their setup including servers, switches, and storage arrays. Features include dashboards, traffic billing, authentication methods, and device integration. Maps in LibreNMS graphically represent the network and availability. Future plans include using it for capacity planning, integrating configuration management, and visualizing network latency and traffic.

    Future use
    • Capacity planning (Distributed-Poller)
     LibreNMS has the ability to distribute polling of devices to other machines. These machines can be in a
    different physical location and therefore minimize network latency for devices that are a considerable
    distance away or are behind NAT firewalls.

    • Oxidized integration
     A system for automatically extracting, storing, and comparing configuration files from network devices.

    • SmokePING
     Its a tool which lets us keep track of network latency, and visualise this through RRD graphs.

    • Network-Weathermap with LibreNMS


     Allow you to build network maps to help visualize network traffic flow rates.
