Design of network monitoring system based on LibreNMS using Line Notify, Telegram, and Email notification

Abstract

Institut Teknologi Telkom Jakarta (IT Telkom Jakarta) is an educational institution that supports student activities and provides internet capabilities to implement online learning systems. As the number of students increases with every year, so does the use of the internet and intranet networks and the experienced network problems. A network administrator is a person who is responsible for managing a computer network. Network administrators usually face network problems in monitoring network devices. This is because the process and operation are done manually. This means network administrators need direct access to the location to monitor all resources. Therefore, a network device monitoring system is needed to manage network devices centrally. This research focuses on the problem of monitoring network devices using open-source tools and software. Based on the implementation results, free network monitoring software such as LibreNMS can track and monitor all devices in all conditions and notify the active device condition in case of network failure such as up, down, reboot to the administrator via Line Notify, Telegram, and Email. With this network monitoring system, IT Telkom Jakarta is expected to be able to implement an integrated and well-monitored internet network system. Besides, the results of this study also produce real-time data on bandwidth usage, logging problems, and resource availability. This can significantly improve network availability and security.
