Folks,

The work of improving metanav proceeds, take a look at the main page now: http://metanav.uninett.no/

I've added a quicklink to the user guide section for each tool right up front by showing the icons. Thought it looked quite good?! Also added a picture of the traffic map. This will be replaced by the new map as soon as 3.4 comes along :)

Each section in the user doc now has a page, although the work of putting in all the details is not at all finished. Stein Magnus can help with some of the tools, I am sure... And John Magne can update his tools!

Next on my wiki todo is to update or rather replace http://metanav.uninett.no/gettingstarted which is quite outdated.

A document that describes what to do after installation is complete is quite important to have in good shape!

I wonder should this doc cover the subjects - creating shell accounts - initializing the NAV db - configuring Apache - configuring Tomcat - integrating cricket - configuring your environment

Morten - for you to answer. I can cover everything beyond this, as I have done on the workshops we've been running: NAV is installed, Apache is up and running - move on from there.

Hi all,

I had a look at metanav today and did several improvements here and around. To skip details, the two majo things are;

1. I have added a "config file" and "log file" section in "backendprocesses". There may be errors - please check.

2. I have started on the task of making a user guide to NAV. This is done be restructuring "navconfiguration" page. Here I have included a "Using the NAV tools" sections where each tool from the toolbox is listed with its appropriate NAV 3.3 icon(!) and a link to a new wiki page for the tool. Some of the tools already had a wiki page in place, for others I have made one, or at least started. Hopefully more people will contribute and we will get this job done before christmas.

I will discuss this and more with Morten tomorrow.

Morten; your archive with the good old report.conf explaination is wanted.

Hi,

I discussed the 3.4 release with Stein Magnus on friday. He suggests, and I agree; we should roll this out before Morten takes his time off work in November (or time reduced to 50%).

We have enough new material already, so why wait? Else we will be in the same situation as last year - summer results are not made available to the NAV community before more than half a year has passed...

What I find natural to include in NAV 3.4 is (but this must be discussed) (with reference to http://metanav.uninett.no/devel:tasklist):

John Magne JM2: New features in Arnold (including the vlan change feature)

Kristian Klette SS1: New interactive and dynamic layout engine in Traffic Map Big question: Do we remove vlanplot, or offer them both in 3.4 and later remove vlanplot?

Jostein Gokstad SS3: Support IPv6 in NAV

Stein Magnus Jodal SMJ6: Merge IP Info and IP Device Center SMJx: Keep shaping up the NAV gui in the various tools SMJx: Get rid of unused stuff in Device management (order, etc) Rename the tool to Device History. Rename "edit database" to "seed database"

Morten MB11: Improve HP stack collection / make generic ENTITY-MIB plugin This is very important to NTNU! MBxx: Take advantage of the dot1qbridge mib for the camcollector? MXxx: more?

There are many other tasks listed for Morten, Stein Magnus and John Magne, but I feel they can wait for NAV 3.5 and beyond. There may be Morten tasks that are not listed on the tasklist that are more pressing?

Meeting?
