Straight lines in Network Map

Arlen_Jenks · 6 September 2019 20:53

I like the built in network Maps in LibreNMS but I really need the lines to be straight when I rearrange the network nodes the way I need them. I’m trying to mimic the Ring on my network and I can’t get the lines to simple go straight to the next node, they are bending all over the place. Does anyone have any advice on how to overcome this. I installed Weathermap and was going to use it but I’m not that impressed with that plugin, it seems a little dated. I am a libreNMS newbie so thanks in advance for helping me out.

Hi @Arlen_Jenks
Welcome here
Please have a look at this part of the documentation :

github.com

librenms/librenms/blob/master/doc/Extensions/Network-Map.md

# Network Map

LibreNMS has the ability to show you a network map based on:

- xDP Discovery
- MAC addresses

By default, both are are included but you can enable / disable either
one using the following config option:

```php
$config['network_map_items'] = array('mac','xdp');
```

Either remove mac or xdp depending on which you want.
XDP is based on FDP, CDP and LLDP support based on the device type.

A global map will be drawn from the information in the database, it is
worth noting that this could lead to a large network map. Network maps
for individual devices are available showing the relationship with

This explains how you can customize the style of the network map. I cannot confirm if you can achieve straight lines, but if there is a way, it is probably in this customization page
Bye
