Agenda:

  • Introduction, installation and fundamentals
    • Why LibreNMS? History, architecture, range of functions
    • SNMP basics: security, versions, MIBs, and typical challenges
    • LibreNMS installation: operating system requirements, web server, database, cron jobs
    • Device management, inventory, polling intervals

  • Advanced configuration and alerting
    • Device monitoring: SNMP extensions, custom checks, sensor integration (environmental monitoring)
    • Alerting and notifications: alert rules, thresholds, escalations
    • Integration of external systems: Oxidized, Syslog integration, API usage, and automation
    • Setting up custom alert rules and integrating external tools
    • Setup of a customized dashboard and systematic error analysisbr

  • Performance, troubleshooting and best practices
    • Performance optimization: Polling, load distribution, RRD tuning
    • Troubleshooting: SNMP problems, polling errors, alerts, system load
    • Dashboards and visualization: geo-mapping, custom views, weathermaps
    • Security and operational concepts: Hardening, backup/restore, documentation
    • Distributed systems (distributed polling)

  • Outlook
    • Development of custom modules and extensions incl. contribution to the OpenSource community

  • Special Features
    • Individual lab environment for each participant with real hardware for monitoring and alerting
    • Realistic practical examples from SME, enterprise and carrier environments

Objectives:

After completion of the training NT120 LibreNMS: Effective and Simple Monitoring participants will be able to:

  • Install LibreNMS securely and configure it for basic use
  • Implement SNMP- and ICMP-based monitoring in a targeted manner
  • Set up useful alert rules and notification systems
  • Effectively integrate monitoring with external tools (e.g. Oxidized, Syslog, API)
  • Identify performance bottlenecks early and perform optimizations
  • Carry out systematic error analysis independently (help for self-help)

Target audience:

The course NT120 LibreNMS: Effective and Simple Monitoring is primarily targeted at:

  • System and Network Administrators with basic networking knowledge
  • IT Professionals who want to implement or optimize monitoring in network and system environments
  • Technical Project Managers and Consultants with focus on network infrastructure and operations management

Prerequisites:

To be able to follow the course content and learning pace of the workshop NT120 LibreNMS: Effective and Simple Monitoring effectively, you should have the following prerequisites:

  • Basic understanding of fundamental network technologies (TCP/IP, SNMP)
  • Basic knowledge of Linux operating systems (preferably Debian/Ubuntu, Shell, SecureShell)
  • Practical experience in handling CLI configurations

Description:

Comprehensive monitoring and alerting is essential for stable and efficient operation of IT infrastructure. The workshop NT120 LibreNMS: Effective and Simple Monitoring provides practical and in-depth instruction on how to effectively implement this with LibreNMS. From initial setup to advanced configuration and alerting to performance optimization and troubleshooting, participants learn how to use LibreNMS independently, customize it to their needs, and operate it safely even in complex environments.

The course follows a hands-on approach with the proven combination of theory, practical exercises, and in-depth learning units. Each topic area is implemented independently without predefined template solutions in a realistic lab environment. Special focus is placed on independent solution finding and problem analysis, with the instructor available for support at all times alongside the course materials.
