LibreNMS handler

A Python library to interact with the LibreNMS API (v0).

The project aims to provide the user with as much information as if they were looking at the reference guide themselves.

Usage

THe package is installed via Pip with pip install librenms-handler.

The following statement will initialise the library:

from librenms_handler.devices import Devices

librenms_devices = Devices(
    'https://librenms.example.com',
    'e4ef9234abab59a90628dd3f616a60b4'
)

NOTE: If you are using a self-signed certificate for your server, you can bypass the errors by passing the initialisation option verify=False.

Once done, a list of methods will be available to you such as librenms_handler.list_devices(). Upon operation, the method will execute and return the required request to your LibreNMS instance.

>>> librenms_devices.add_device('test_device', snmp_disable=True, force_add=True)
{'status': 'ok', 'message': 'Device test_device (13) has been added successfully'}
>>> librenms_devices.del_device('test')
{'status': 'ok', 'devices': [{'device_id': 13, 'inserted': '2021-03-13 15:56:19', 'hostname': 'test_device', 'sysName': '', 'ip': None, 'overwrite_ip': None, 'community': '', 'authlevel': None, 'authname': None, 'authpass': None, 'authalgo': None, 'cryptopass': None, 'cryptoalgo': None, 'snmpver': 'v2c', 'port': 161, 'transport': 'udp', 'timeout': None, 'retries': None, 'snmp_disable': 1, 'bgpLocalAs': None, 'sysObjectID': None, 'sysDescr': None, 'sysContact': None, 'version': None, 'hardware': '', 'features': None, 'location_id': None, 'os': 'ping', 'status': True, 'status_reason': '', 'ignore': 0, 'disabled': 0, 'uptime': None, 'agent_uptime': 0, 'last_polled': None, 'last_poll_attempted': None, 'last_polled_timetaken': None, 'last_discovered_timetaken': None, 'last_discovered': None, 'last_ping': None, 'last_ping_timetaken': None, 'purpose': None, 'type': 'server', 'serial': None, 'icon': 'images/os/ping.svg', 'poller_group': 0, 'override_sysLocation': 0, 'notes': None, 'port_association_mode': 1, 'max_depth': 0, 'disable_notify': 0, 'location': None, 'lat': None, 'lng': None, 'attribs': [], 'vrf_lite_cisco': []}], 'message': 'Removed device test_device\n', 'count': 1}

Environment variables

While initialising the handler, the following parameters are required. The handler first checks for the following environment variables, should you choose to use them.

Environment variable	Description	Type	Example
LIBRENMS_URL	Full URL to the target LibreNMS instance	string	https://librenms.example.com
LIBRENMS_TOKEN	Token generated from LIBRENMS_URL/api-access	string	e4ef9234abab59a90628dd3f616a60b4
