LibreNMS is great. If you put in the work, it can be wonderful. Those who were around at the time remember just how bad other systems were, then Observium's founder crashed out and LibreNMS, Observium's fork, really shined.
Any SMB would get amazing value out of LibreNMS to this day. Sadly, it's not really keeping pace with things like event driven architecture nor streaming telemetry. But building a modern LibreNMS in the aggregate with Streaming telemetry, grafana, prometheus, NATS, suzie-q, etc. is way harder than it seems. LibreNMS & it's intuitive UI & SNMP walking still makes me smile.
Thanks for reporting back. Every time I looked at it's features, I came to roughly the same conclusions. Glad you actually did the work to try it, though.
Another vote for LibreNMS. I've been using it for a long time and it's just great for most small - relatively large orgs (you have to work a bit harder to deploy it properly / distributed, if you're going for a larger build).
I've also had Zabbix data piped into grafana and that was rock solid.... I just find that Zabbix requires quite a bit more finessing to get going, if you're not a seasoned sysadmin.
