The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C9H11N3O2, contains two mol­ecules (A and B), which exist in Z conformations with respect to their C=N double bond. The dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the pendant hy­droxy­carbamimidoyl and acetamide groups are 28.58 (7) and 1.30 (5)°, respectively, in mol­ecule A and 25.04 (7) and 27.85 (9)°, respectively, in mol­ecule B. An intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring in both mol­ecules. Mol­ecule A also features an intra­molecular C—H⋯O inter­action, which closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N, O—H⋯O, O—H⋯N, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions, generating a three-dimensional network.
