LibreNMS, which is a modern fork of observium.

Yes! Qsl cards are very much still alive and well. Some traditions will never die. The special event stations are fun to get cards from.
Super cool anecdote on the telescope thing, I’ve never heard of that.
I hope you get back on the radio, it’s a great hobby. It’s a nice stress relief outlet for me these days too.

Love to hear things like that! When I first got licensed the solar cycle was utter trash. We’re past the peak now, but band conditions are still pretty good generally. A few watts and a wire will still get you somewhere with CW and some other forward error corrected modes (like FT8). I have a lot of fun with the digital stuff like AREDN, but it’s definitely a different ball game and the old school SSB-based radio still has its place in my heart.

False positive what? I didn’t give any specific examples of alerts, just simply monitoring metrics. Are you referring to the note on the Dnsmasq memory leak?

For any hams here, maybe this blog post will be up your alley. 73!

Hey good for you, that’s awesome! My home network is also dual stacked.
You’re right about the apples to oranges comparison, but it’s not so wildly off, because the commentary is on adoption of new standards, regardless of bolt-on “fixes.” Unauthenticated SNMP went through three revisions prior to adding authentication and encryption support.

And IPv6 was codified in RFCs and first addresses issued in 1999 but look where we are now. I’d bet your corporate network doesn’t use IPv6 still. It’s unfortunate, but sometimes the wheels of change are slow.

Nagios is a premium offering. They have some open source components, but the software model is absolutely not built around the spirit of GPL.
Zabbix is the obvious alternative in my mind, and it is AGPLv3, so absolutely in the same spirit as the LibreNMS license. It’s a slightly different tool though, and less network-specific. Having used both, I prefer LibreNMS for specifically network monitoring, it’s laid out to cater more to an ISP-type entity running it, and I like that. Zabbix still gets my wholehearted stamp of approval though.

Updated the post to reflect your feedback here. Thank you!
- Comment on Monitor Your Network the GPL Way with LibreNMS 1 month ago:
You are absolutely correct, thank you. Sadly a bunch of devices still don’t support it, even in 2025 (like my microtik switch) for example. I will absolutely add a note about that though, thank you!

I absolutely have and used it for a while before landing on opensuse microos primarily. I absolutely see the benefit and enjoyed the git-centric nature, keeping flakes in repos with a flavor for each machine. What I didn’t enjoy, however, was the seemingly poor documentation. Quite frankly too, the drama surrounding the community doesn’t inspire confidence either. I decided I ought to try out guix but haven’t gotten to it yet. I do actually still have one nixos VM that hosts some services for me and is built entirely on the concept of the impermanence flake. That was pretty cool.

Excellent! Let me know if there are specific things you’d like to hear about.
- Comment on Monitor Your Network the GPL Way with LibreNMS 1 month ago:
Absolutely! I’d happily take any comments you have from running it in an enterprise setting, if you care to share.

That’s not how that works.
network_mode: hostshares the network namespace with the container host, so it doesn’t do any NAT, it only exists on the host’s IP. It would be akin to running a natively installed app, rather than in a container.macvlannetworking is what gives a container its own IP on the logical network, without the layer of NAT that the defaultbridgemode networking that docker typically does. - Submitted 1 month ago to selfhosted@lemmy.world | 0 comments

God hasn’t responded to a single one of my issues or merged a pull request since I started on this earth. Slacker.

I would love to if I had them! Haha. I’m working on the dashboard right now, which will be part two.
I don’t have a great answer on the IOPS requirement, but I imagine it’s less than something based on elasticsearch/open search based on the reindexing. I’ll try and benchmark it if possible.
- Comment on Monitoring OPNSense Logs with Grafana Loki 1 month ago:
Great question, I’ve asked myself the same thing.
First, in my opinion they serve to achieve different things. While openwrt is a firewall, it’d a simple zone based firewall and it designed primarily as router firmware, not firewall software.
Opnsense is BSD based, openwrt is Linux based. Those both haves pros and cons. BSD has serious pedigree in the networking world. Juniper switches are still based on BSD even. Openwrt gets the Linux traffic shaping goodies like cake though.
I chose openwrt because it’s more suited to my environment, where I have 10 VLANs, a 10G fiber core, and want IDS/IPS. Openwrt is meant to be lighter weight, but is less feature-full.

Isn’t it the best? Somehow all the big log and aggregation stacks are java… Elk, graylog, wazuh…

Certainly! Feel free to comment on any hardships, if I notice a glaring omission or something I’m happy to fix it. This is also a pretty new setup for me, so I’m still tweaking and working through what will become part 2 here in Grafana, currently.

There’s no mobile app, but the web app front end is a PWA, so you can select “install” from the page in a WebKit browser and get what is effectively a mobile app.
