Auto-discovering network monitoring system

LibreNMS is in maintenance mode, with point releases that fix or revert rather than add.

network monitoringopen sourcebug fixesmaintenance
◆Current state
LibreNMS is an open-source network monitoring system on a monthly release train. Its last four releases are all bug-fix point releases: a billing-polling fix, a custom-map rollback, a revert for older fping versions, and one release with no notes.
◆Where it's heading
Recent work is about stability, not scope. The project pulled the half-finished custom-map icon backgrounds and reverted a change that broke older installs, which suggests a cautious posture toward regressions in the field. These entries show no new capability.
◆Prediction
The next monthly release will likely bring another round of polling and map fixes. The entries don't show where feature work is heading.
