Create an API token
In the LibreNMS web interface, go to Settings › API › API Settings, click Create API access token, choose a user and save.
Add a server

- Enter a name, the LibreNMS address (for example
https://nms.example.com) and the API token. - Tap Test connection and save once it passes.

On the overview, tap Edit to add or drag cards: device status, alerts, port traffic, CPU, memory and more. Layouts are saved per server and synced across your devices.
Alert push
- Go to Settings › Push and allow notifications.
- Tap Set up automatically; FebNMS creates an API alert transport in your LibreNMS.
- Tap the bell on an alert rule to choose which devices receive it, and send a test notification to check.
Desktop and tablet
Mac, Windows and Linux
Wide windows show a sidebar and several columns of cards; narrow windows switch to a compact layout.
Android tablets and desktop mode
Tablets in landscape use a two-pane layout. In Android desktop mode or free-form windows, FebNMS supports resizable windows, hover tips, right-click menus and keyboard shortcuts.
Keyboard shortcuts
You can do everything from the keyboard. Windows and Linux use Ctrl instead of ⌘.
| macOS | Windows / Linux | Action |

| ⌘ 1…6 | Ctrl 1…6 | Overview, Servers, Alerts, Alert rules, Services, Search |
| ⌘ F | Ctrl F | Find |

Single-key shortcuts in server details
With a server open, press a single letter — no modifier keys. Click “Shortcuts” at the top right to see them any time.
| O P S H L | Overview, Ports, Services, Health, Logs |
| C M D N | CPU, memory, disk I/O and network graphs |
| T | Start / stop live monitoring |
| R | Refresh |

Right-click and bulk actions
Right-click a service to edit, disable, check it now or duplicate it. Right-click a server to favourite it, add it to the overview, open it in its own window, copy its name or IP, or open it in LibreNMS.
In the service list, hold ⇧ to select a range or press ⌘ A to select all, then right-click to enable, disable or delete them together; Esc clears the selection. When adding a service, choose several servers under “Also add to” to create all the checks at once.
Dynamic overview
When adding a card to the overview, choose Dynamic, then set the metric (for example network traffic or CPU) and the scope (all servers, a location, or excluding host names). Matching servers get cards automatically, including servers you add later.
