Introduction

LibreNMS is an autodiscovering 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 behaviour towards others. For more about the culture we’re trying to build, please read the Freenode philosophy, including guidelines for running an IRC channel and being a community catalyst.
