The stack#

  • LibreNMS — SNMP polling, alerting
  • Grafana — dashboards over InfluxDB
  • SmokePing — latency baselines

All three live in separate LXC containers on a single Proxmox node. CPU footprint at 800 devices: ~6%.

Start with LibreNMS only. Add Grafana when stakeholders ask for "pretty graphs."
