LibreNMS in Ubuntu VirtualBox

The target is install and try LibreNMS installed in Ubuntu in VirtualBox virtual machine in LinuxMint 20 system.

Protocol:

1) Download librenms-ubuntu-18.04-amd64.ova file.

2) Open OVA file in VirtualBox.

3) Star the LibreNMS virtual machine (LibreNMS-VM):

4) Login into the libreNMS-VM:

This is the information from https://docs.librenms.org/Installation/Images/

 

To access from libreNMS-VM login I use:

    user: librenms
    pass: CDne3fwdfds

looking for local net IP:

$ ip a

The libreNMS-VM is 10.0.2.15 and is not in my net that is 192.168.1.1-255, I have to change this to configure into my localnet.

 

5) Reconfiguring the net and IP of libreNMS VM:

    5.1. Shutdown libreNMS VM

    5.2. Into VirtualBox Manager configure Network from NAT to Brided Adapter:

 

    5.3. Start libreNMS-VM

    5.4. Repeat the step 5): Login and  check the IP:

 

Great !!, now I have a IP: 192.168.1.235  into my localnet asigned by the DHCP server.

Next would be better change the IP configuration and asing static IP for libreNMS-VM, it will be better to control, access and monitoring the local net, but by now I maintaing this configuration.

Here there is info about change net configuration: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConfigurationCommandLine/Automatic

 

6) Access with web browser in the libreNMS-VM IP:

A view with Mozill Firefox:

username: librenms
password: D32fwefwef

And now we are into the web frontend, in devices only shot the server:

 

Ok, now we have LibreNMS  into VirtualBox machine in our local net.

Next is to configure and exploit all capabilities of this tool.
