LibreNMS Integration

Pull device inventory and link topology from LibreNMS, and overlay live port statistics on the topology canvas with colorized edges.

Overview

If you already run LibreNMS, NetStacks can use it as a source of truth for what is on the network. Configure a LibreNMS source with its base URL and API token, and NetStacks can list devices, read link topology, and enrich the topology view with live interface data.

What You Get

  • Device list — import the LibreNMS device inventory rather than re-entering it.
  • Link topology — bring LibreNMS-discovered links into the NetStacks topology, including a one-click bulk import of the whole graph (see bulk topology import).
  • Port statistics — speed, errors, and load per link, refreshed from the LibreNMS API.

Port Stats on Topology

With port stats enabled, topology edges are colorized by link state — so a congested or erroring link stands out visually instead of being buried in a table. This makes the topology view useful for triage, not just documentation.

Note

LibreNMS is contacted only after you configure the source. The destination and what is sent are listed on the security page.

Q&A

Q: Do I need LibreNMS to use NetStacks topology?
A: No. LibreNMS is one optional source. You can also build topology from SNMP discovery, NetBox, or NetStacks-Crawler.
Q: What credentials does it use?
A: Your LibreNMS API token, stored locally and sent only to your LibreNMS instance.
