Check infrastructure health, traffic, uptime, alerts, services and performance from your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Key features: • See device availability and operational status at a glance on a customisable overview • Monitor CPU, memory, I/O wait, disk, network traffic and health sensors in real time • Explore availability, performance, traffic and device health graphs • Review active and recovered alerts with timelines and related graphs • Get push notifications when alerts fire • Inspect monitored services, results and check schedules • Search and filter devices across your LibreNMS servers • Connect to multiple LibreNMS servers • Sync your servers, dashboards and preferences across devices with a FebNMS account • Display dates and times in your device's local time zone FebNMS connects directly to the LibreNMS API you configure; device metrics and graphs are read straight from your LibreNMS server. Your FebNMS account stores your server list, dashboards and preferences so they sync across your devices, and your LibreNMS API tokens are encrypted and only delivered to devices signed in to your account. If you turn on alert push notifications, your LibreNMS server sends alerts to the FebNMS service, which delivers them through Apple Push Notification service and keeps a delivery log of alert titles. The optional AI alert-rule assistant sends the rule you describe to a third-party AI model. This is an independent third-party app developed by FEB PTE. LTD. LibreNMS is an independent open-source project, and this app is not an official LibreNMS product.
