Chapter 13: Showing Data from LibreNMS in Grafana
LibreNMS is an open source platform for network monitoring, a Network Management System (NMS). It provides metrics that can be accessed through an InfluxDB database from Grafana.
In this chapter, you will learn how to use the data from LibreNMS and show it with Grafana.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- What LibreNMS is and how you can use it
- Configuring LibreNMS to use InfluxDB
- Showing LibreNMS data in Grafana dashboards
- Showing network topology diagrams with quasi-live data
Using LibreNMS data, you can build customized and enhanced Grafana dashboards, which LibreNMS itself doesn’t have. In this chapter, you will learn how to extract more value from LibreNMS data using Grafana.
