Our first postcards :-)
by Morten Brekkevold 31 May '11

31 May '11

For many years, we've asked NAV users to send us a postcard to tell us they use NAV (see: http://metanav.uninett.no/postcard). Up until now, we've received a total sum of 0 (zero) cards :-( I just want to send a shout-out and a big thanks to Matěj Grégr, from the University of Brno in the Czech Republic, who recently sent us no less than _two_ postcards :-) These are now proudly on display on the window facing the hallway outside my office: http://yfrog.com/h8qbqgxj -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

Announcement: NAV 3.9.0b1 released
by Morten Brekkevold 20 May '11

20 May '11

A beta version of the upcoming 3.9 series of NAV, version 3.9.0b1, is now available for download at Launchpad for those who wish to test it: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.9/3.9.0b1 The 3.9 series include these improvements: User-visible features and improvements: * NAV's threshold monitoring feature has finally been completed - Threshold Manager is a new web tool that allows adjusting threshold values for individual statistical data sources. Alerts generated by the threshold monitor can be subscribed to in users' alert profiles. * MAC Watch is a new web tool that maintains a watch list of MAC addresses. Whenever a watched MAC address appears on your network, NAV will send an alert that can be subscribed to. * ipdevpoll can now retrieve VLAN configuration from Extreme Networks devices. * ipdevpoll can now optionally use the pynetsnmp library as an alternative to the TwistedSNMP/PySNMP combination. pynetsnmp is a ctypes binding to the well-known NetSNMP library, and should noticeably improve performance if used. * Layer 2 topology discovery has been rewritten from scratch, due to both problems with the results of the old discovery code and problems with maintaining the old code. Bugfixes: * LP#739718 (ifName should be derived from baseport number if not available) More changes may still make it into the final release. Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug :-) A binary package for Debian 5 (Lenny) will be made available as soon as possible.
