Configuration Docs

LibreNMS configuration is a set of key values.

The config is stored in two places: Database: This applies to all pollers and can be set with either lnms config:set or in the Web UI. Database config takes precedence over config.php. config.php: This applies to the local poller only. Configs set here will be disabled in the Web UI to prevent unexpected behaviour.

The LibreNMS uses dot notation for config items:

Database config.php
snmp.community $config['snmp']['community']
snmp.community.+ $config['snmp']['community'][]
snmp.v3.0.authalgo $config['snmp']['v3'][0]['authalgo']

The documentation has not been updated to reflect using lnms config:set to set config items, but it will work for all settings. Not all settings have been defined in LibreNMS, but they can still be set with the --ignore-checks option. Without that option input is checked for correctness, that does not mean it is not possible to set bad values. Please report missing settings.

CLI

lnms config:get will fetch the current config settings (composite of database, config.php, and defaults).
lnms config:set will set the config setting in the database. Calling lnms config:set on a setting with no value will reset it to the default value.

If you set up bash completion, you can use tab completion to find config settings.

Getting a list of all current values

To get a complete list of all the current values, you can use the command lnms config:get --dump. The output may not be desirable, so you can use the jq package to pretty print it. Then it would be lnms config:get --dump | jq.

Example output:

librenms@librenms:~$ lnms config:get --dump | jq 
{
  "install_dir": "/opt/librenms",
  "active_directory": {
    "users_purge": 0
  },
  "addhost_alwayscheckip": false,
  "alert": {
    "ack_until_clear": false,
    "admins": true,
    "default_copy": true,
    "default_if_none": false,
    "default_mail": false,
    "default_only": true,
    "disable": false,
    "fixed-contacts": true,
    "globals": true,
    "syscontact": true,
    "transports": {
      "mail": 5
    },
    "tolerance_window": 5,
    "users": false,
    ...

Examples

lnms config:get snmp.community
  [
      "public"
  ]


lnms config:set snmp.community.+ testing

lnms config:get snmp.community
  [
      "public",
      "testing"
  ]


lnms config:set snmp.community.0 private

lnms config:get snmp.community
  [
      "private",
      "testing"
  ]

lnms config:set snmp.community test
  Invalid format

lnms config:set snmp.community '["test", "othercommunity"]'

lnms config:get snmp.community
  [
      "test",
      "othercommunity"
  ]

lnms config:set snmp.community

  Reset snmp.community to the default? (yes/no) [no]:
  > yes


lnms config:get snmp.community
  [
      "public"
  ]

Pre-load configuration

This feature is primarily for docker images and other automation. When installing LibreNMS for the first time with a new database you can place yaml key value files in database/seeders/config to pre-populate the config database.

Example snmp.yaml

snmp.community:
    - public
    - private
snmp.max_repeaters: 30

Directories

lnms config:set temp_dir /tmp

The temporary directory is where images and other temporary files are created on your filesystem.

lnms config:set log_dir /opt/librenms/logs

Log files created by LibreNMS will be stored within this directory.

Database config

Set these variables either in .env (/opt/librenms/.env by default) or in the environment.

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_DATABASE=librenms
DB_USERNAME=DBUSER
DB_PASSWORD="DBPASS"

Use non-standard port:

DB_PORT=3306

Use a unix socket:

DB_SOCKET=/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Core

PHP Settings

You can change the memory limits for php within config.php. The value is in Megabytes and should just be an int value:

lnms config:set php_memory_limit 128

Programs

A lot of these are self explanatory so no further information may be provided. Any extensions that have dedicated documentation page will be linked to rather than having the config provided.

RRDTool

You can configure these options within the WebUI now, please avoid setting these options within config.php

Settings -> External Settings -> RRDTool Setup

external/binaries

lnms config:set rrdtool /usr/bin/rrdtool

Please see 1 Minute polling for information on configuring your install to record data more frequently.

fping

external/binaries

lnms config:set fping /usr/bin/fping
lnms config:set fping6 fping6

poller/ping

lnms config:set fping_options.timeout 500
lnms config:set fping_options.count 3
lnms config:set fping_options.interval 500
lnms config:set fping_options.tos 184

fping configuration options:

  • timeout (fping parameter -t): Amount of time that fping waits for a response to its first request (in milliseconds). See note below
  • count (fping parameter -c): Number of request packets to send to each target.
  • interval (fping parameter -p): Time in milliseconds that fping waits between successive packets to an individual target.
  • tos (fpingparameter -O): Set the type of service flag (TOS). Value can be either decimal or hexadecimal (0xh) format. Can be used to ensure that ping packets are queued in following QOS mecanisms in the network. Table is accessible in the TOS Wikipedia page.

NOTE: Setting a higher timeout value than the interval value can lead to slowing down poller. Example:

timeout: 3000

count: 3

interval: 500

In this example, interval will be overwritten by the timeout value of 3000 which is 3 seconds. As we send three icmp packets (count: 3), each one is delayed by 3 seconds which will result in fping taking > 6 seconds to return results.

You can disable the fping / icmp check that is done for a device to be determined to be up on a global or per device basis. We don't advise disabling the fping / icmp check unless you know the impact, at worst if you have a large number of devices down then it's possible that the poller would no longer complete in 5 minutes due to waiting for snmp to timeout.

Globally disable fping / icmp check:

lnms config:set icmp_check false

If you would like to do this on a per device basis then you can do so under Device -> Edit -> Misc -> Disable ICMP Test? On

traceroute

LibreNMS uses traceroute to record debug information when a device is down due to icmp AND you have lnms config:set debug.run_trace true set.

external/binaries

lnms config:set traceroute /usr/bin/traceroute

We can also make use of one of these environment variables which can be set in /etc/environment:

http_proxy=proxy.domain.com
https_proxy=proxy.domain.com

RRDCached

Please refer to RRDCached

WebUI Settings

lnms config:set base_url http://demo.librenms.org

LibreNMS will attempt to detect the URL you are using but you can override that here.

webui/style

lnms config:set site_style light

Currently we have a number of styles which can be set which will alter the navigation bar look. dark, light and mono with light being the default.

lnms config:set webui.custom_css.+ css/custom/styles.css

You can override a large number of visual elements by creating your own css stylesheet and referencing it here, place any custom css files into html/css/custom so they will be ignored by auto updates. You can specify as many css files as you like, the order they are within your config will be the order they are loaded in the browser.

webui/style

lnms config:set title_image images/custom/yourlogo.png

You can override the default logo with yours, place any custom images files into html/images/custom so they will be ignored by auto updates.

lnms config:set page_refresh 300

Set how often pages are refreshed in seconds. The default is every 5 minutes. Some pages don't refresh at all by design.

lnms config:set front_page default

You can create your own front page by adding a blade file in resources/views/overview/custom/ and setting front_page to it's name. For example, if you create resources/views/overview/custom/foobar.blade.php, set front_page to foobar.

webui/dashboard

lnms config:set webui.default_dashboard_id 0

Allows the specification of a global default dashboard page for any user who has not set one in their user preferences. Should be set to dashboard_id of an existing dashboard that is shared or shared(read). Otherwise, the system will automatically create each user an empty dashboard called Default on their first login.

lnms config:set login_message "Unauthorised access or use shall render the user liable to criminal and/or civil prosecution."

This is the default message on the login page displayed to users.

lnms config:set public_status true

If this is set to true then an overview will be shown on the login page of devices and the status.

lnms config:set show_locations true  # Enable Locations on menu
lnms config:set show_locations_dropdown true  # Enable Locations dropdown on menu
lnms config:set show_services false  # Disable Services on menu
lnms config:set int_customers true  # Enable Customer Port Parsing

Enable / disable certain menus from being shown in the WebUI.

You are able to adjust the number and time frames of the quick select time options for graphs and the mini graphs shown per row.

Quick select:

lnms config:set graphs.mini.normal '{
    "day": "24 Hours",
    "week": "One Week",
    "month": "One Month",
    "year": "One Year"
}'

lnms config:set graphs.mini.widescreen '{
    "sixhour": "6 Hours",
    "day": "24 Hours",
    "twoday": "48 Hours",
    "week": "One Week",
    "twoweek": "Two Weeks",
    "month": "One Month",
    "twomonth": "Two Months",
    "year": "One Year",
    "twoyear": "Two Years"
}'

Mini graphs:

lnms config:set graphs.row.normal '{
    "sixhour": "6 Hours",
    "day": "24 Hours",
    "twoday": "48 Hours",
    "week": "One Week",
    "twoweek": "Two Weeks",
    "month": "One Month",
    "twomonth": "Two Months",
    "year": "One Year",
    "twoyear": "Two Years"
}'
lnms config:set web_mouseover true

You can disable the mouseover popover for mini graphs by setting this to false.

lnms config:set enable_lazy_load true

You can disable image lazy loading by setting this to false.

lnms config:set overview_show_sysDescr true

Enable or disable the sysDescr output for a device.

webui/device

lnms config:set device_display_default '{{ $hostname }}'

This is a simple template to control the display of device names by default. You can override this setting per-device.

You may enter any free-form text including one or more of the following template replacements:

Template Replacement
{{ $hostname }} The hostname or IP of the device that was set when added *default
{{ $sysName_fallback }} The hostname or sysName if hostname is an IP
{{ $sysName }} The SNMP sysName of the device, falls back to hostname/IP if missing
{{ $ip }} The actual polled IP of the device, will not display a hostname

For example, {{ $sysName_fallback }} ({{ $ip }}) will display something like server (192.168.1.1)

lnms config:set device_traffic_iftype.+ '/loopback/'

Interface types that aren't graphed in the WebUI. The default array contains more items, please see misc/config_definitions.json for the full list.

lnms config:set enable_clear_discovery true

Administrators are able to clear the last discovered time of a device which will force a full discovery run within the configured 5 minute cron window.

lnms config:set enable_footer true

Disable the footer of the WebUI by setting enable_footer to 0.

You can enable the old style network map (only available for individual devices with links discovered via xDP) by setting:

lnms config:set gui.network-map.style old
lnms config:set percentile_value 90

Show the Xth percentile in the graph instead of the default 95th percentile.

webui/graph

lnms config:set shorthost_target_length 15

The target maximum hostname length when applying the shorthost() function. You can increase this if you want to try and fit more of the hostname in graph titles. The default value is 12 However, this can possibly break graph generation if this is very long.

You can enable dynamic graphs within the WebUI under Global Settings -> Webui Settings -> Graph Settings.

Graphs will be movable/scalable without reloading the page: Example dynamic graph usage

Stacked Graphs

You can enable stacked graphs instead of the default inverted graphs. Enabling them is possible via webui Global Settings -> Webui Settings -> Graph settings -> Use stacked graphs

Add host settings

The following setting controls how hosts are added. If a host is added as an ip address it is checked to ensure the ip is not already present. If the ip is present the host is not added. If host is added by hostname this check is not performed. If the setting is true hostnames are resolved and the check is also performed. This helps prevents accidental duplicate hosts.

lnms config:set addhost_alwayscheckip false # true - check for duplicate ips even when adding host by name.
                                            # false- only check when adding host by ip.

By default we allow hosts to be added with duplicate sysName's, you can disable this with the following config:

discovery/general

lnms config:set allow_duplicate_sysName false

Global poller and discovery modules

Enable or disable discovery or poller modules.

This setting has an order of precedence Device > OS > Global. So if the module is set at a more specific level, it will override the less specific settings.

Global:

lnms config:set discovery_modules.arp-table false

lnms config:set discovery_modules.entity-state true
lnms config:set poller_modules.entity-state true

Per OS:

lnms config:set os.ios.discovery_modules.arp-table false

lnms config:set os.ios.discovery_modules.entity-state true
lnms config:set os.ios.poller_modules.entity-state true

Oxidized

Please refer to Oxidized

CollectD

lnms config:set collectd_dir /var/lib/collectd/rrd

Specify the location of the collectd rrd files. Note that the location in config.php should be consistent with the location set in /etc/collectd.conf and etc/collectd.d/rrdtool.conf

<Plugin rrdtool>
        DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/rrd"
        CreateFilesAsync false

Location parsing

LibreNMS can interpret sysLocation information and map the device loction based on GeoCoordinates or GeoCoding information.

  • Info-keywords
  • [] contains optional Latitude and Longitude information if manual GeoCoordinate positioning is desired.
  • () contains optional information that is ignored during GeoCoding lookups.

GeoCoordinates

If device sysLocation information contains [lat, lng] (note the comma and square brackets), that is used to determin the GeoCoordinates.

Example:

name_that_can_not_be_looked_up [40.424521, -86.912755]

GeoCoding

Next it will attempt to look up the sysLocation with a map engine provided you have configured one under $config['geoloc']['engine']. The information has to be accurate or no result is returned, when it does it will ignore any information inside parentheses, allowing you to add details that would otherwise interfeeer with the lookup.

Example:

1100 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701 (3rd floor)
Geocoding lookup is:
1100 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701

Overrides

  1. You can overwrite each device sysLocation information in the webGUI under "Device settings".
  2. You can overwrite the location coordinates n in the webGUI under Device>GEO Locations

Location mapping

If you just want to set GPS coordinates on a location, you should visit Devices > Geo Locations > All Locations and edit the coordinates there.

Exact Matching:

lnms config:set location_map '{"Under the Sink": "Under The Sink, The Office, London, UK"}'

Regex Matching:

lnms config:set location_map_regex '{"/Sink/": "Under The Sink, The Office, London, UK"}'

Regex Match Substitution:

lnms config:set location_map_regex_sub '{"/Sink/": "Under The Sink, The Office, London, UK [lat, long]"}'

If you have an SNMP SysLocation of "Rack10,Rm-314,Sink", Regex Match Substition yields "Rack10,Rm-314,Under The Sink, The Office, London, UK [lat, long]". This allows you to keep the SysLocation string short and keeps Rack/Room/Building information intact after the substitution.

The above are examples, these will rewrite device snmp locations so you don't need to configure full location within snmp.

Interfaces to be ignored

Interfaces can be automatically ignored during discovery by modifying bad_if* entries in a default array, unsetting a default array and customizing it, or creating an OS specific array. The preferred method for ignoring interfaces is to use an OS specific array. The default arrays can be found in misc/config_definitions.json. OS specific definitions (includes/definitions/_specific_os_.yaml) can contain bad_if* arrays, but should only be modified via pull-request as manipulation of the definition files will block updating:

Examples:

Add entries to default arrays

lnms config:set bad_if.+ voip-null
lnms config:set bad_iftype.+ voiceEncap
lnms config:set bad_if_regexp.+ '/^lo[0-9].*/'    # loopback

Override default bad_if values

lnms config:set bad_if '["voip-null", "voiceEncap", "voiceFXO"]'

Create an OS specific array

lnms config:set os.iosxe.bad_iftype.+ macSecControlledIF
lnms config:set os.iosxe.bad_iftype.+ macSecUncontrolledIF

Various bad_if* selection options available

bad_if is matched against the ifDescr value.

bad_iftype is matched against the ifType value.

bad_if_regexp is matched against the ifDescr value as a regular expression.

bad_ifname_regexp is matched against the ifName value as a regular expression.

bad_ifalias_regexp is matched against the ifAlias value as a regular expression.

Interfaces that shouldn't be ignored

Examples:

lnms config:set good_if.+ FastEthernet
lnms config:set os.ios.good_if.+ FastEthernet

good_if is matched against ifDescr value. This can be a bad_if value as well which would stop that port from being ignored. i.e. if bad_if and good_if both contained FastEthernet then ports with this value in the ifDescr will be valid.

Interfaces to be rewritten

lnms config:set rewrite_if '{"cpu": "Management Interface"}'
lnms config:set rewrite_if_regexp '{"/cpu /": "Management "}'

Entries defined in rewrite_if are being replaced completely. Entries defined in rewrite_if_regexp only replace the match. Matches are compared case-insensitive.

Entity sensors to be ignored

Some devices register bogus sensors as they are returned via SNMP but either don't exist or just don't return data. This allows you to ignore those based on the descr field in the database. You can either ignore globally or on a per os basis.

lnms config:set bad_entity_sensor_regex.+ '/Physical id [0-9]+/'
lnms config:set os.ios.bad_entity_sensor_regex '["/Physical id [0-9]+/"]'

Entity sensors limit values

Vendors may give some limit values (or thresholds) for the discovered sensors. By default, when no such value is given, both high and low limit values are guessed, based on the value measured during the initial discovery.

When it is preferred to have no high and/or low limit values at all if these are not provided by the vendor, the guess method can be disabled:

lnms config:set sensors.guess_limits false

Ignoring Health Sensors

It is possible to filter some sensors from the configuration:

  • Ignore all temperature sensors
lnms config:set disabled_sensors.current true
  • Filter all sensors matching regexp '/PEM Iout/'.
lnms config:set disabled_sensors_regex.+ '/PEM Iout/'
  • Filter all 'current' sensors for Operating System 'vrp'.
lnms config:set os.vrp.disabled_sensors.current true
  • Filter all sensors matching regexp '/PEM Iout/' for Operating System iosxe.
lnms config:set os.iosxe.disabled_sensors_regex '/PEM Iout/'

Storage configuration

Mounted storage / mount points to ignore in discovery and polling.

discovery/storage

```bash lnms config:set ignore_mount_removable true lnms config:set ignore_mount_network true lnms config:set ignore_mount_optical true

lnms config:set ignore_mount.+ /kern

  1. Generate a non-password-protected ssh key for use by LibreNMS, as the user which runs polling & discovery (usually librenms).
  2. On each VM host you wish to monitor:
  3. Configure public key authentication from your LibreNMS server/poller by adding the librenms public key to ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys.
  4. (xen+ssh only) Enable libvirtd to gather data from xend by setting (xend-unix-server yes) in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and restarting xend and libvirtd.

To test your setup, run virsh -c qemu+ssh://vmhost/system list or virsh -c xen+ssh://vmhost list as your librenms polling user.
