Actually I just tried the above INSERT and the string escaping seems to work fine, so it is probably something else. > Maybe what I should check or verify in my configuration ? Since the error is coming from within the Postgre Java driver I would think there is some mismatch between the JDBC driver and the Postgre server.

The 'unrecognizedCDP' is a CDP neighbour string for which we were not able to find a matching name in netbox, and it is then stored in netboxinfo (there it is used for correctly dealing with HP stacks IIRC). -- Kristian

missing FROM-clause entry for table netboxcategory

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 19/12/2005 10:54, Perica Veljanovski uttered: > Thanks for taking the time mate! > postgresql-server-8.1.0 > postgresql-client-8.1.0 Ok, I don't know what changed from 8.0 to 8.1 - for all I know, it could be related to the default configuration installed in a FreeBSD package of PostgreSQL. I believe a quick work-around for your problem would be to edit your postgresql.conf and make sure the following line is present: add_missing_from = true - From the PostgreSQL manual: add_missing_from (boolean) When true, tables that are referenced by a query will be automatically added to the FROM clause if not already present. The default is true for compatibility with previous releases of PostgreSQL. However, this behavior is not SQL-standard, and many people dislike it because it can mask mistakes. Set to false for the SQL-standard behavior of rejecting references to tables that are not listed in FROM. I'll take a look into fixing the actual SQL query in NAV later. - -- Morten Vold, ITEA, NTNU A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is it such a bad thing?

You were right. add_missing_from is off by default in pgsql 8.1 This should solve a couple of my problems. I discovered a similar "missing FROM-clause entry" problem in the messages module.

This makes since :) So, today I had some time, gave the problem a go, and this is what I've come up with: IP Devices->Add doesn't populate the netboxcategory table, it doesn't even let you choose from subcat table in the web form! Netboxcategory has 2 fkey's, netboxid = netbox.netboxid and category = subcat.subcatid. I tried populating netboxcategory myself, but the problem persists! I think the problem is in the IP Devices->Edit query, the error again: --- ProgrammingError: ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "netboxcategory" SELECT netboxid,netboxcategory.category FROM netbox WHERE netboxcategory.netboxid=netboxid --- Now I have no experience with postgressql, but have about 5 years of mysql experience, and this query doesn't make much since to me. There is no reference to netboxcategory in the FROM clause, but the SELECT uses it!? Maybe I'm wrong. Also, I think that the idea of add ip devices is to first populate netbox and then call edit (or part from it) to populate netboxcategory and probably other tables. And this is where the module crashes. But don't take my word for it, because I haven't used NAV before, nor have I examined the code!!! Hope this helps. On the other subject: A BIG thanks to my fellow FreeBSD users :P All NAV modules work now! Alert Profiles still has some errors (I assume they are trivial, haven't had time to check), and Cricket still doesn't display files from /images and doesn't read the .css so it looks kinda grouse :) Apart from that, I have a working NAV >:) Morten, I have a favor to ask. Since I have a deadline until Monday to get NAV running (or we will use cacti+kannel), could you look into my ip devices->edit problem. I'm more of a Perl guy, so Python is new to me. Thanks all!

My problem is that I've tried creating an alert profile to alert me of anything that concerns one particular IP (or sysname), and it seems I always end up receiving any and all alerts that pass through NAV.

I tried to grok the code quickly (it's not pretty ;) ), and my first impression is that your analysis is correct; that "Add IP Device" might crash if there are no registered netbox categories. Netbox categories are just a way to do site-specific categorization of devices.

Sorry, but you'll have to live with this "problem" a bit longer. This error is logged by PostgreSQL because of some clients that don't properly close their database connections, they just sever them. Apparently some of the NAV processes don't behave properly in this respect. It's on the TODO-list to investigate which of them are the naughty ones, but rest assured that the only actual problem in this is that your PostgreSQL logs grow larger. > Note: my /alertprofiles/ doesn't work at all :) when I click it from > /toolbox/ I get a blank screen.

NAV - Device discovery problems
by adam.nisula＠gmail.com 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

Hello Everyone, I have installed the NAV3.0.0 on a CentOS system[Linux version 2.6.9-22.0.1.EL (buildcentos@x8664-build)] Originally I had installed most of the devices into the Database and everything seemed to be working well. The program did not see module 1 / port 1 on several devices. All of the other ports and modules showed up. After this I tried adding new devices to the database and they would not show up in the network explorer. To try and fix this problem I decided to dump the databases and recreate them and try adding the devices again. This did not work. The devices showed up but the problem with missing ports was still there. I then tried dropping the databases again, removing all of the files installed, and walked through the install process again. Now only the first ip-device I installed shows up in the network-explorer, yet they are all in the report. I've tried all the cron jobs for navcron and still only the one shows up. All of the devices show that their gateway is the ip address of the first device added to the database. Devices: #vendorid:typename:sysoid[:description:frequency:cdp=(yes|no):tftp=(yes|no)] nortel:bps2000:1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.40.1:Business Policy Switch 2000:3600:no:no nortel:551024:1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.52.1:BayStack 5510 24T:3600:no:no nortel:551048:1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.53.1:BayStack 5510 48T:3600:no:no nortel:552048:1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.59.2:BayStack 5520 48T PWR:3600:no:no nortel:46024:1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.49.1:BayStack 460 24T PWR:3600:no:no nortel:nortelcore:1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.30:Nortel Core:3600:no:no The program can reteive the serial from all other devices. First Ip Device: #roomid:ip:orgid:catid:[ro:serial:rw:function:subcat1:subcat2..] 1:172.20.8.13:baycrest:SW:snmp-read::snmp-write:switch 13:172.18.0.2:baycrest:GSW:$upp0rt::bcgc-SW:core #obtains type from sysObjectID and the active ports on the first module of 9, but nothing more. This ip '172.20.8.13' becomes the gateway for all other devices discovered after adding this one. 1) How do I force an update for Network Explorer? 2) How do I get NAV to show the first port on the first module of a switch? (172.20.8.13) 3) How do I get NAV to reteive the correct gateway information for a device? (172.20.8.13) 4) What do I change to get the rest of the modules to show up in the core device? (172.18.0.2) I know this is a lot to look at but I would greatly appreciate help with any of these questions.
