LibreNMS is great. If you put in the work, it can be wonderful. Those who were around at the time remember just how bad other systems were, then Observium’s founder crashed out and LibreNMS, Observium’s fork, really shined.

Any SMB would get amazing value out of LibreNMS to this day. Sadly, it’s not really keeping pace with things like event driven architecture nor streaming telemetry. But building a modern LibreNMS in the aggregate with Streaming telemetry, grafana, prometheus, NATS, suzie-q, etc. is way harder than it seems. LibreNMS & it’s intuitive UI & SNMP walking still makes me smile.

Thanks for reporting back. Every time I looked at it’s features, I came to roughly the same conclusions. Glad you actually did the work to try it, though.

Looks cool. Adding to my linkding. Thanks!

This release has such bangers. Was so excited to read it in my RSS feed today & comment here.

• IPv6 segment routing (SRv6) support
• BGP monitoring (BMP) suppor
• Firewall flowtable offload functionality

And the ultimate biggie: The long-awaited ability to rollback configuration without having to reboot is finally here (T5249).

Thanks so much to the VyOS team for an awesome RC.

Okay.

Yet another reason to love VyOS

Yep, mainly because it’s targetting DC/SP operators, rather than just the home

This is somehow worse than “five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of text from the other four”

You just hurt Huawei & Arista’s feelings. /s

Cool project. Saving it for future reference, once I get a better handle on Rust.

Another vote for LibreNMS. I’ve been using it for a long time and it’s just great for most small - relatively large orgs (you have to work a bit harder to deploy it properly / distributed, if you’re going for a larger build).

I’ve also had Zabbix data piped into grafana and that was rock solid… I just find that Zabbix requires quite a bit more finessing to get going, if you’re not a seasoned sysadmin.

Pretty good suggestions here. Can’t remember the last time I saw such quality replies on r/networking .

Great job, everyone. Hoping this community becomes a lot more engaged & less superficial than the r/networking one.

Very dumb move by IBM Redhat

Jeff Geerling’s take was good:
