As of the time of writing this, you MUST restart LibreNMS on the poller that you are re-assigning for the change to take affect. If you do not perform the restart, the poller's group selection will revert to the previous configuration when the next polling interval starts. Additionally, you must change the groups and restart the LibreNMS service all in the same polling interval.
LibreNMS offers the ability to place distributed pollers into groups. This allows the assignment of devices into said groups to only be polled by the pollers also in the group.
In order to assign devices to a group, distributed_poller
must be set to true
(even if Redis is being used).
lnms config:=set distributed_poller true
To create a group (the default is group ID 0), navigate in the web GUI to Poller → Groups
Once a new group exists, navigate to Poller → Settings and select the poller that you want to participate in the new group.
Under Assigned Groups, select the group(s) that you want the poller to poll.
