Applications
You can use Application support to graph performance statistics of many applications.
Different applications support a variety of ways to collect data:
- By direct connection to the application
- snmpd extend
- The agent.
The monitoring of applications could be added before or after the hosts have been added to LibreNMS.
If multiple methods of collection are listed you only need to enable one.
SNMP Extend
When using the snmp extend method, the application discovery module will pick up which applications you have set up for monitoring automatically, even if the device is already in LibreNMS. The application discovery module is enabled by default for most *nix operating systems, but in some cases you will need to manually enable the application discovery module.
SUDO
One major thing to keep in mind when using SNMP extend is these run as the snmpd user that can be an unprivileged user. In these situations you need to use sudo.
To test if you need sudo, first check the user snmpd is running as. Then test if you can run the extend script as that user without issue. For example if snmpd is running as 'Debian-snmp' and we want to run the extend for proxmox, we check that the following run without error:
sudo -u Debian-snmp /usr/local/bin/proxmox
If it doesn't work, then you will need to use sudo with the extend command. For the example above, that would mean adding the line below to the sudoers file:
Debian-snmp ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/proxmox
Finally we would need to add sudo to the extend command, which would look like that for proxmox:
extend proxmox /usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/proxmox
JSON Return Optimization Using librenms_return_optimizer
While the json_app_get does allow for more complex and larger data to be easily returned by a extend and the data to then be worked with, this can also sometimes result in large returns that occasionally don't play nice with SNMP on some networks.
librenms_return_optimizer
fixes this via taking the extend output piped to it, gzipping it, and then converting it to base64. The later is needed as net-snmp does not play that nice with binary data, converting most of the non-printable characters to .
. This does add a bit of additional overhead to the gzipped data, but still tends to be result in a return that is usually a third of the size for JSONs items.
The change required is fairly simply. So for the portactivity example below...
extend portactivity /etc/snmp/extends/portactivity smtps,http,imap,imaps,postgresql,https,ldap,ldaps,nfsd,syslog-conn,ssh,matrix,gitea
Would become this...
extend portactivity /usr/local/bin/lnms_return_optimizer -- /etc/snmp/extends/portactivity smtps,http,imap,imaps,postgresql,https,ldap,ldaps,nfsd,syslog-conn,ssh,matrix,gitea
The requirements for this are Perl, MIME::Base64, and Gzip::Faster.
Installing on FreeBSD...
pkg install p5-MIME-Base64 p5-Gzip-Faster wget
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/librenms/librenms-agent/master/utils/librenms_return_optimizer -O /usr/local/bin/librenms_return_optimizer
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/librenms_return_optimizer
Installing on Debian...
apt-get install zlib1g-dev cpanminus wget
cpanm Gzip::Faster
cpanm MIME::Base64
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/librenms/librenms-agent/master/utils/librenms_return_optimizer -O /usr/local/bin/librenms_return_optimizer
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/librenms_return_optimizer
Currently supported applications as are below.
- backupninja
- certificate
- chronyd
- dhcp-stats
- docker
- fail2ban
- fbsd-nfs-client
- fbsd-nfs-server
- gpsd
- mailcow-postfix
- mdadm

- ntp-server
- portactivity
- powerdns
- powermon
- puppet-agent
- pureftpd
- redis
- seafile
- supervisord
- ups-apcups
- zfs
The following apps have extends that have native support for this, if congiured to do so.
- suricata
Enable the application discovery module
- Edit the device for which you want to add this support
- Click on the Modules tab and enable the
applications
module. - This will be automatically saved, and you should get a green confirmation pop-up message.
After you have enabled the application module, it would be wise to then also enable which applications you want to monitor, in the rare case where LibreNMS does not automatically detect it.
Note: Only do this if an application was not auto-discovered by LibreNMS during discovery and polling.
Enable the application(s) to be discovered
- Go to the device you have just enabled the application module for.
- Click on the Applications tab and select the applications you want to monitor.
- This will also be automatically saved, and you should get a green confirmation pop-up message.
Agent
The unix-agent does not have a discovery module, only a poller module. That poller module is always disabled by default. It needs to be manually enabled if using the agent. Some applications will be automatically enabled by the unix-agent poller module. It is better to ensure that your application is enabled for monitoring. You can check by following the steps under the SNMP Extend
heading.
Apache
Either use SNMP extend or use the agent.
Note that you need to install and configure the Apache mod_status module before trying the script.
SNMP Extend
-
Download the script onto the desired host (the host must be added to LibreNMS devices)
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/librenms/librenms-agent/master/snmp/apache-stats.py -O /etc/snmp/apache-stats.py
-
Make the script executable
chmod +x /etc/snmp/apache-stats.py
-
Create the cache directory, '/var/cache/librenms/' and make sure that it is owned by the user running the SNMP daemon.
mkdir -p /var/cache/librenms/
-
Verify it is working by running /etc/snmp/apache-stats.py Package
urllib3
for python3 needs to be installed. In Debian-based systems for example you can achieve this by issuing:apt-get install python3-urllib3
-
Edit your snmpd.conf file (usually /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf) and add:
extend apache /etc/snmp/apache-stats.py
-
Restart snmpd on your host
-
Test by running
snmpwalk <various options depending on your setup> localhost NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutput2Table
Agent
Install the agent on this device if it isn't already and copy the apache
script to /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/
-
Verify it is working by running /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/apache (If you get error like "Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm". libwww-perl needs to be installed: apt-get install libwww-perl)
-
Create the cache directory, '/var/cache/librenms/' and make sure that it is owned by the user running the SNMP daemon.
mkdir -p /var/cache/librenms/
-
On the device page in Librenms, edit your host and check the
Apache
under the Applications tab.
Asterisk
A small shell script that reports various Asterisk call status.
SNMP Extend
-
Download the asterisk script to
/etc/snmp/
on your asterisk server.wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/librenms/librenms-agent/master/snmp/asterisk -O /etc/snmp/asterisk
-
Make the script executable
chmod +x /etc/snmp/asterisk
-
Configure
ASCLI
in the script. -
Verify it is working by running
/etc/snmp/asterisk
-
Edit your snmpd.conf file (usually
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
) and add:extend asterisk /etc/snmp/asterisk
-
Restart snmpd on your host
The application should be auto-discovered as described at the top of the page. If it is not, please follow the steps set out under SNMP Extend
heading top of page.
backupninja
A small shell script that reports status of last backupninja backup.
SNMP Extend
- Download the backupninja script to
/etc/snmp/backupninja.py
on your backuped server.wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/librenms/librenms-agent/master/snmp/backupninja.py -O /etc/snmp/backupninja.py`
-
Make the script executable:
chmod +x /etc/snmp/backupninja.py
-
Edit your snmpd.conf file (usually
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
) and add:extend backupninja /etc/snmp/backupninja.py
-
Restart snmpd on your host
BIND9 aka named
-
Create stats file with appropriate permissions:
Change~$ touch /var/cache/bind/stats ~$ chown bind:bind /var/cache/bind/stats
user:group
to the user and group that's running bind/named. -
Bind/named configuration:
options { ... statistics-file "/var/cache/bind/stats"; zone-statistics yes; ... };
-
Restart your bind9/named after changing the configuration.
-
Verify that everything works by executing
rndc stats && cat /var/cache/bind/stats
. In case you get aPermission Denied
error, make sure you changed the ownership correctly. -
Also be aware that this file is appended to each time
rndc stats
is called. Given this it is suggested you setup file rotation for it. Alternatively you can also set zero_stats to 1 in the config. -
The script for this also requires the Perl module
File::ReadBackwards
.FreeBSD => p5-File-ReadBackwards CentOS/RedHat => perl-File-ReadBackwards Debian/Ubuntu => libfile-readbackwards-perl
If it is not available, it can be installed by cpan -i File::ReadBackwards
.
- You may possibly need to configure the agent/extend script as well.
The config file's path defaults to the same path as the script, but with .config appended. So if the script is located at /etc/snmp/bind
, the config file will be /etc/snmp/bind.config
. Alternatively you can also specify a config via -c $file
.
Anything starting with a # is comment. The format for variables are $variable=$value. Empty lines are ignored. Spaces and tabs at either the start or end of a line are ignored.
Content of an example /etc/snmp/bind.config . Please edit with your own settings.
rndc = The path to rndc. Default: /usr/bin/env rndc
call_rndc = A 0/1 boolean on whether or not to call rndc stats.
Suggest to set to 0 if using netdata. Default: 1
stats_file = The path to the named stats file. Default: /var/cache/bind/stats
agent = A 0/1 boolean for if this is being used as a LibreNMS
agent or not. Default: 0
zero_stats = A 0/1 boolean for if the stats file should be zeroed
first. Default: 0 (1 if guessed)
If you want to guess at the configuration, call the script with -g
and it will print out what it thinks it should be.

linux_config_files
linux_config_files is an application intended to monitor a Linux distribution's configuration files via that distribution's configuration management tool/system. At this time, ONLY RPM-based (Fedora/RHEL) SYSTEMS ARE SUPPORTED utilizing the rpmconf tool. The linux_config_files application collects and graphs the total count of configuration files that are out of sync and graphs that number.
Fedora/RHEL: Rpmconf is a utility that analyzes rpm configuration files using the RPM Package Manager. Rpmconf reports when a new configuration file standard has been issued for an upgraded/downgraded piece of software. Typically, rpmconf is used to provide a diff of the current configuration file versus the new, standard configuration file. The administrator can then choose to install the new configuration file or keep the old one.

MySQL
Create the cache directory, '/var/cache/librenms/' and make sure that it is owned by the user running the SNMP daemon.
mkdir -p /var/cache/librenms/
The MySQL script requires PHP-CLI and the PHP MySQL extension, so please verify those are installed.
CentOS (May vary based on PHP version)
yum install php-cli php-mysql
Debian (May vary based on PHP version)
apt-get install php-cli php-mysql
Unlike most other scripts, the MySQL script requires a configuration file mysql.cnf
in the same directory as the extend or agent script with following content:
<?php
$mysql_user = 'root';
$mysql_pass = 'toor';
$mysql_host = 'localhost';
$mysql_port = 3306;
Note that depending on your MySQL installation (chrooted install for example), you may have to specify 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. Localhost make a MySQL connection via the mysql socket, while 127.0.0.1 make a standard IP connection to mysql.
Note also if you get a mysql error Uncaught TypeError: mysqli_num_rows(): Argument #1
, this is because you are using a newer mysql version which doesnt support UNBLOCKING
for slave statuses, so you need to also include the line $chk_options['slave'] = false;
into mysql.cnf
to skip checking slave statuses

PowerMon
PowerMon tracks the power usage on your host and can report on both consumption and cost, using a python script installed on the host.
Currently the script uses one of two methods to determine current power usage:
-
ACPI via libsensors
-
HP-Health (HP Proliant servers only)
The ACPI method is quite unreliable as it is usually only implemented by battery-powered devices, e.g. laptops. YMMV. However, it's possible to support any method as long as it can return a power value, usually in Watts.
TIP: You can achieve this by adding a method and a function for that method to the script. It should be called by getData() and return a dictionary.
Because the methods are unreliable for all hardware, you need to declare to the script which method to use. The are several options to assist with testing, see --help
.
SNMP Extend
Initial setup
-
Download the python script onto the host:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/librenms/librenms-agent/master/snmp/powermon-snmp.py -O /usr/local/bin/powermon-snmp.py
-
Make the script executable:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/powermon-snmp.py
-
Edit the script and set the cost per kWh for your supply. You must uncomment this line for the script to work:
vi /usr/local/bin/powermon-snmp.py #costPerkWh = 0.15
-
Choose you method below:
-
Install dependencies:
dnf install lm_sensors pip install PySensors
-
Test the script from the command-line. For example:
$ /usr/local/bin/powermon-snmp.py -m sensors -n -p { "meter": { "0": { "reading": 0.0 } }, "psu": {}, "supply": { "rate": 0.15 }, "reading": "0.0" }
If you see a reading of
0.0
it is likely this method is not supported for your system. If not, continue.-
Obtain the hp-health package for your system. Generally there are three options:
- Standalone package from HPE Support
- From the HP Management Component Pack (MCP).
- Included in the HP Service Pack for Proliant (SPP)
-
If you've downloaded the standalone package, install it. For example:
rpm -ivh hp-health-10.91-1878.11.rhel8.x86_64.rpm
-
Check the service is running:
systemctl status hp-health
-
Test the script from the command-line. For example:
$ /usr/local/bin/powermon-snmp.py -m hpasmcli -n -p { "meter": { "1": { "reading": 338.0 } }, "psu": { "1": { "present": "Yes", "redundant": "No", "condition": "Ok", "hotplug": "Supported", "reading": 315.0 }, "2": { "present": "Yes", "redundant": "No", "condition": "FAILED", "hotplug": "Supported" } }, "supply": { "rate": 0.224931 }, "reading": 338.0 }
If you see a reading of
0.0
it is likely this method is not supported for your system. If not, continue.Finishing Up
-
-
Edit your snmpd.conf file (usually
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
) and add the following:extend powermon /usr/local/bin/powermon-snmp.py -m hpasmcli

Seafile
SNMP extend script to monitor your Seafile Server
SNMP Extend
- Copy the Python script, seafile.py, to the desired host
wget https://github.com/librenms/librenms-agent/raw/master/snmp/seafile.py -O /etc/snmp/seafile.py
Also you have to install the requests Package for Python3. Under Ubuntu/Debian just run apt install python3-requests
-
Make the script executable
chmod +x /etc/snmp/seafile.py
-
Edit your snmpd.conf file and add:
extend seafile /etc/snmp/seafile.py
-
You will also need to create the config file, which is named seafile.json . The script has to be located at /etc/snmp/.
{"url": "https://seafile.mydomain.org", "username": "[email protected]", "password": "password", "account_identifier": "name" "hide_monitoring_account": true }
The variables are as below.
url = Url how to get access to Seafile Server
username = Login to Seafile Server.
It is important that used Login has admin privileges.
Otherwise most API calls will be denied.
password = Password to the configured login.
account_identifier = Defines how user accounts are listed in RRD Graph.
Options are: name, email
hide_monitoring_account = With this Boolean you can hide the Account which you
use to access Seafile API
Note:It is recommended to use a dedicated Administrator account for monitoring.
SMART
SNMP Extend
-
Copy the Perl script, smart, to the desired host.
wget https://github.com/librenms/librenms-agent/raw/master/snmp/smart -O /etc/snmp/smart
-
Make the script executable
chmod +x /etc/snmp/smart
-
Edit your snmpd.conf file and add:
extend smart /etc/snmp/smart
-
You will also need to create the config file, which defaults to the same path as the script, but with .config appended. So if the script is located at /etc/snmp/smart, the config file will be
/etc/snmp/smart.config
. Alternatively you can also specific a config via-c
.
Anything starting with a # is comment. The format for variables is $variable=$value. Empty lines are ignored. Spaces and tabes at either the start or end of a line are ignored. Any line with out a matched variable or # are treated as a disk.
#This is a comment
cache=/var/cache/smart
smartctl=/usr/bin/env smartctl
useSN=1
ada0
ada1
da5 /dev/da5 -d sat
twl0,0 /dev/twl0 -d 3ware,0
twl0,1 /dev/twl0 -d 3ware,1
twl0,2 /dev/twl0 -d 3ware,2
The variables are as below.
cache = The path to the cache file to use. Default: /var/cache/smart
smartctl = The path to use for smartctl. Default: /usr/bin/env smartctl
useSN = If set to 1, it will use the disks SN for reporting instead of the device name.
1 is the default. 0 will use the device name.
A disk line is can be as simple as just a disk name under /dev/. Such as in the config above The line "ada0" would resolve to "/dev/ada0" and would be called with no special argument. If a line has a space in it, everything before the space is treated as the disk name and is what used for reporting and everything after that is used as the argument to be passed to smartctl.
If you want to guess at the configuration, call it with -g and it will print out what it thinks it should be.
- Restart snmpd on your host
If you have a large number of more than one or two disks on a system, you should consider adding this to cron. Also make sure the cache file is some place it can be written to.
*/3 * * * * /etc/snmp/smart -u
- If your snmp agent runs as user "snmp", edit your sudo users (usually
visudo
) and add at the bottom:snmp ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /etc/snmp/smart, /usr/bin/env smartctl
and modify your snmpd.conf file accordingly:
extend smart /usr/bin/sudo /etc/snmp/smart
The application should be auto-discovered as described at the top of the page. If it is not, please follow the steps set out under SNMP Extend
heading top of page.
If you set useSN to 1, it is worth noting that you will loose history(not able to access it from the web interface) for that device each time you change it. You will also need to run camcontrol or the like on said server to figure out what device actually corresponds with that serial number.
Also if the system you are using uses non-static device naming based on bus information, it may be worthwhile just using the SN as the device ID is going to be irrelevant in that case.
Squid
SNMP Proxy
-
Enable SNMP for Squid like below, if you have not already, and restart it.

Supervisord
It shows you the totals per status and also the uptime per process. That way you can add alerts for instance when there are process in state FATAL
.
SNMP Extend
-
Copy the python script to the desired host.
Notice that this will use the default unix socket path. Modify thewget https://github.com/librenms/librenms-agent/raw/master/snmp/supervisord.py -O /etc/snmp/supervisord.py
unix_socket_path
variable in the script if your path differs from the default. -
Make the script executable
chmod +x /etc/snmp/supervisord.py
-
Edit your snmpd.conf file (usually /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf) and add:
extend supervisord /etc/snmp/supervisord.py
-
Restart snmpd on your host
systemctl restart snmpd
Sagan
For metrics the stats are migrated as below from the stats JSON.
f_drop_percent
and drop_percent
are computed based on the found data.
Instance Key | Stats JSON Key |
---|---|
uptime | .stats.uptime |
total | .stats.captured.total |
drop | .stats.captured.drop |
ignore | .stats.captured.ignore |
threshold | .stats.captured.theshold |
after | .stats.captured.after |
match | .stats.captured.match |
bytes | .stats.captured.bytes_total |
bytes_ignored | .stats.captured.bytes_ignored |
max_bytes_log_line | .stats.captured.max_bytes_log_line |
eps | .stats.captured.eps |
f_total | .stats.flow.total |
f_dropped | .stats.flow.dropped |
Those keys are appended with the name of the instance running with _
between the instance name and instance metric key. So uptime
for ids
would be ids_uptime
.
The default is named 'ids' unless otherwise specified via the extend.
There is a special instance name of .total
which is the total of all the instances. So if you want the total eps, the metric would be .total_eps
. Also worth noting that the alert value is the highest one found among all the instances.
SNMP Extend
-
Install the extend.
cpanm Sagan::Monitoring
-
Setup cron. Below is a example.
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/sagan_stat_check > /dev/null

-
Restart snmpd on your system.
You will want to make sure that sagan is setup to with the values set below for stats-json processor, for a single instance setup..
enabled: yes
time: 300
subtract_old_values: true
filename: "$LOG_PATH/stats.json"
Any configuration of sagan_stat_check should be done in the cron setup. If the default does not work, check the docs for it at MetaCPAN for sagan_stat_check
Suricata
SNMP Extend
-
Install the extend.
cpanm Suricata::Monitoring
-

extend suricata-stats /usr/bin/env PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin suricata_stat_check -c -b
- Restart snmpd on your system.
You will want to make sure Suricata is set to output the stats to the eve file once a minute. This will help make sure that it won't be to far back in the file and will make sure it is recent when the cronjob runs.
Any configuration of suricata_stat_check should be done in the cron setup. If the default does not work, check the docs for it at MetaCPAN for suricata_stat_check
