Differences in SNMP results between versions
by Seb Rupik 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Hi all, I have been tasked with creating a new NAV (3.9.1) install. All appears to be fine until I compare it against the previous old (3.5.4) installation. The majoirty of our switches are Cisco 3750's nearly all stacked, but the new install doesn't seem to acknowledge this under 'IP Device Info' where the 'Modules' field shows '0', but the 'switch port status' table shows all interfaces spanning the stack. On the old install the 'Modules' field has the correct number and the 'Switch port status' shows the right number of separate modules. Looking under: 'Report-> Vendors -> Cisco' confirms that the new install is receiving less SNMP OIDs per switch stack; typically 75. Where as the old install is showing between 88-90 for the same stacks. Also in some cases the new install is not showing any returns under #mod, #swp, #gwp and #prefixes, where is does on the old install. Both installs are running libsnmp1.4-java; the old 1.4-5, and the new install 1.4.2-2. Would that account for the differences? What's the best way to test the two installs side by side in an output based comparison? Many thanks, seb.

Hello, when i try to compile from source i am getting error. Does any had similar problems ? Building SimpleSnmp ...

Cricket-config and GW which does not support ifName
by Ingeborg Hellemo 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

The old (3.5) NAV's makecricketconfig.py used interface-indexes directly when collecting router-interface data. The new (3.8) NAV's mcc.py uses a map based on ifName: map interface-name base-oid = ifName match = %ifname% We have a couple of GWs (firewall nodes running some variation of Linux) which does not support ifName. This breaks the collection of router-interface. I know what is needed of a work-around (use ifDescr instead), but wonder if we are the only ones who have this kind of (old) equipment? Will anyone be interested in patching mcc.py or shall I just implement a local hack? --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

ipdevpoll daemon 3.9.1
by izar＠condornet.sk 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi all, I'm sorry for spam, but i would like to make sure that it's a real bug not just my mistake/misunderstanding before filling in the bug into lauchpad. I upgraded NAV to 3.9.1 this monday (deb 5.0) from rep. and I noticed that ipdevpoll job is not running as it supposed to. If I understand it right, then ipdevpolld should be daemon process running all the time, however in 3.9.1 it's not: ./ipdevpoll status ipdevpolld does not seem to be running... If I restart NAV ,then ipdevpoll runs just once .... Thanks, milo

ipdevpoll does not set sysname unless snmp is enabled
by Ingeborg Hellemo 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

During migration from old NAV (3.5.6) to new NAV (3.9.1) I "Bulk import"-ed all our hosts. I notice that ipdevpoll does not set correct sysname on hosts that does not run a configured snmpd. nav=> select * from netbox where ip='129.242.5.142'; netboxid | ip | roomid | typeid | deviceid | sysname | catid ----------+---------------+--------+--------+----------+---------------+------- 1100 | 129.242.5.142 | ma | | 87934 | 129.242.5.142 | SRV This means I now have several hundred boxes (mostly windows servers, virtual IPs and misc "stuff") lacking a proper sysname, even though they are registered i DNS. ipdevpoll.log: 2011-08-31 10:07:02,584 [WARNING plugins.dnsname.dnsname] [inventory 129.242.5.142] Box dnsname has changed from u'129.242.5.142' to 'radius1.uit.no' 2011-08-31 10:07:36,612 [ERROR jobs.jobhandler] [inventory 129.242.5.142] Job 'inventory' for 129.242.5.142 aborted: SNMP request timed out If I edit the host via the Seed DB web interface the correct sysname is saved: nav=> select * from netbox where ip='129.242.5.142'; netboxid | ip | roomid | typeid | deviceid | sysname | catid ----------+---------------+--------+--------+----------+----------------+------ - 1100 | 129.242.5.142 | ma | | 87934 | radius1.uit.no | SRV I presume this is a bug. --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

network time is incorrect on cricket
by Ryan Lin 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

hi all, we have installed nav on one of our servers. everything is functioning properly except the time on the cricket. the time on the cricket is showing the UTC time. i would like to change it to the PDT time, but don't know how as there is no documentation available on how to change the time in nav. the server that's hosting the nav is synchronized to a public NTP server, so there is no issue with that. does anyone know how to correct the time in cricket on nav? thanks.
