Introduction

LibreNMS is an auto-discovering PHP/MySQL/SNMP based network monitoring which includes support for a wide range of network hardware and operating systems including Cisco, Linux, FreeBSD, Juniper, Brocade, Foundry, HP and many more.

We intend LibreNMS to be a viable project and community that:

encourages contribution,
focuses on the needs of its users, and
offers a welcoming, friendly environment for everyone.

The Debian Social Contract will be the basis of our priority system, and mutual respect is the basis of our behavior towards others.
