Nice! Never used the logical maps before. I do use GPS in our units in the field to auto populate the SNMP location string which librenms show us on the geo map. Cool trick .
I'm currently using TheDude but might toy with LibreNMS after seeing this. TheDude is just really sluggish and overall pretty limited (can't have the same device on 2 maps, that is already a huge limitation).
@@FinlayDaG33k the only really benefit I see to the dude these days is that you can have remote mikrotiks run the agent so you don't have to have SNMP flying over the network. It was a much bigger concern when I only had 1.5mbit of satellite backhall for 500 customers
I worked with software that produced maps eliciting the same reaction as yours - FH. What I really want for this sort of thing is done from the CLI, so that I can parse it, reproduce it, and export it. Thanks for the iperf, I'd forgotten about that.
Nice one! Never bothered with that either! But I guess I will now! :D Too bad it cant update dynamically. Guess I need to script it directly from the database.
need that in my life. looks really nice. when you said it's live now, how is it tracking? you have port mirroring on switch and running a router thats using some software to track? 100% gigabit saturation, noice
That looks really neat; will have to give that app a go. It feels like someone needs to write an auto edge connector that can at least suggest what it looks like the connected ports possibly are - must be in the ARP tables ?
Why do you have the edges and ports manually? Would be good when visibility and location on the map can be deduced from attributes („building“) automatically
I don't see the Custom Map Editor button. My maps section is under Overview, it's not it's own button in the menu like yours shows. How do I add custom maps?
That's what I thought - I've not used Cacti in a few years, but the maps and graphs all had a bit of deja vu going on - I remember the tedium of building switch maps with 48 ports each plus interlinks.
Hi, I just reinstalled Libre from the finished OVA template. Now I've added a few switches and servers. Why don't I have the Maps button in my main overview at all, what am I doing wrong?
For when say, a VLAN is limited to 50Mbps during "normal" operation but is allowed to take 75Mbps for 60 seconds (burst) if there is bandwidth to spare. At that point, it'd show 150%.

Never knew about LibreNMS but I do now thanks Paul.
I'm pretty sure I did a video about it in the past.
@@TallPaulTech Sorry to have missed it. been quite unwell over the last few years.
Thanks for this, never heard of LibreNMS but going to check it out now. Looks like a better option for home use than PRTG.
Zaaaaaabbbbbbbiiiiiixxxxx
Wow that's pretty great! Not complicated as some Cisco maps can be.
Great video! Adding the complete network structure to something like this would be great documentation
Like a live network diagram
He's Aussie, but with a Kiwi accent.
Would be cool if it used LLDP to help make some of the maps
It does try to use LLDP for discovery, and I'd say that plays a part in its automatic map generation. I just like doing my own ones how I like them.
Zabbix user here. Also has maps and visual aids. But a pain to configure. Will try LibreNMS. 👍🏼
Paul, please show how to install LibreNMS in a Proxmox LXC.
Thanks for taking the time to look into what I too was too lazy to investigate. I might setup a few maps for me too!
Yeah, it's one of those things that when you finally get around to, you think... well that was easy.
Nice one!
Looks like another piece of software I need to install and investigate! :)
This reminds me of building maps in "The Dude" (Mikrotik's free monitoring app) when I worked at an ISP
I'm currently using TheDude but might toy with LibreNMS after seeing this.
TheDude is just really sluggish and overall pretty limited (can't have the same device on 2 maps, that is already a huge limitation).
The best part about LibreNMS is how natural it fits together and presents what you need.

Hey thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea!

Nice to see LibreNMS. I introduce it at work and we currently monitor more than 3000 switches (stacks) that sum more than 9000 units.
All from one box? That's some serious polling.
@@TallPaulTech No. 10 pollers + 1 mysql. Probably it work from one poller but I need a server with 256 cores :)
Very useful. Thanks!
great videos i hope more

can you reorganise that autodiscovered mess to be more readable?
That looks really neat; will have to give that app a go.

Was thinking the same thing. MAC to MAC connections.
Will this work with unmanaged switches?
Nope, you need Snmp or something like that
Why do you have the edges and ports manually? Would be good when visibility and location on the map can be deduced from attributes („building“) automatically
This looks interesting.
Just out of interest: You in Oz? The way you were talking and stuff, seems very familiar.
Yeah mate
Crap that is great

You need to be on the latest version of LibreNMS.
Will this run on a Pi 2 with a simple network? I haven't been down this rabbit hole yet.
Absolutely
This looks a bit like weather map for cacti. Is this same thing?
That's what I thought - I've not used Cacti in a few years, but the maps and graphs all had a bit of deja vu going on - I remember the tedium of building switch maps with 48 ports each plus interlinks.
I have a project to do now. Finals or lebrenms. What shall be my fate.

The Virtualization OVA image software is dated 2023 so might not have it.
