LibreNMS Networks Maps

Making some custom network maps in LibreNMS and putting hosts in the correct geographical location.

Nice! Never used the logical maps before. I do use GPS in our units in the field to auto populate the SNMP location string which librenms show us on the geo map. Cool trick .

Never knew about LibreNMS but I do now thanks Paul.

Thanks for this, never heard of LibreNMS but going to check it out now. Looks like a better option for home use than PRTG.

Thanks for taking the time to look into what I too was too lazy to investigate. I might setup a few maps for me too!

Nice to see LibreNMS. I introduce it at work and we currently monitor more than 3000 switches (stacks) that sum more than 9000 units.

Great video! Adding the complete network structure to something like this would be great documentation

[repairstudio]

Wow that's pretty great! Not complicated as some Cisco maps can be.

[chrisdixon]

Nice one!

Looks like another piece of software I need to install and investigate! :)

This reminds me of building maps in "The Dude" (Mikrotik's free monitoring app) when I worked at an ISP

I worked with software that produced maps eliciting the same reaction as yours - FH.
What I really want for this sort of thing is done from the CLI, so that I can parse it, reproduce it, and export it.
Thanks for the iperf, I'd forgotten about that.

Would be cool if it used LLDP to help make some of the maps

Zabbix user here. Also has maps and visual aids. But a pain to configure. Will try LibreNMS. 👍🏼

Hey thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea!

[nerdegem]

That looks really neat; will have to give that app a go.
It feels like someone needs to write an auto edge connector that can at least suggest what it looks like the connected ports possibly are - must be in the ARP tables ?

[DenisGWahome]

Seems the Legend feature is not present in the latest version as at February 2025

Paul, please show how to install LibreNMS in a Proxmox LXC.

[BurkenProductions]

Nice one! Never bothered with that either! But I guess I will now! :D Too bad it cant update dynamically. Guess I need to script it directly from the database.

[berndeckenfels]

Why do you have the edges and ports manually? Would be good when visibility and location on the map can be deduced from attributes („building“) automatically

[TecraTube]

need that in my life. looks really nice. when you said it's live now, how is it tracking? you have port mirroring on switch and running a router thats using some software to track?
100% gigabit saturation, noice

[zenmaster]

can you reorganise that autodiscovered mess to be more readable?
