Device Uplink
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

What is the process that discover device's uplink? Is /usr/local/nav/bin/navtopology? Is it possible to put it's execution in debug mode? I've some devices that not have uplink information after added. Whitout this information, netmap can't draw it. -- Att. Bruno Galindro da Costa

02 Apr '13

Hi! Which is the premisse for netmap colorize the link between two devices? What is the meaning of grey's link color? I'm wondering this because from yesterday to today, the links between my devices changed from green to grey... -- Att. Bruno Galindro da Costa

Unmanaged devices
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hi! Question 1: Is it possible to change the device type? I know this information is gathered from device, but when the device has no snmp support, but only an ip address (like a printer), I need to specify it's type in the system to built more detailed and consistent reports. Question 2: How can I insert an unmanaged switch or hub in NAV? I need this because I want to know where this kind of devices are inserted in our network to planning a future replacement of it. Question 3: Where I can change the netmap device icons? The device icon is related to type or category? Would be great if it where possible to change the device's icon to reflect it's model. Hi! -- Att. Bruno Galindro da Costa

Announcement: NAV 3.14.15 released
by Morten Brekkevold 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

NAV 3.14.15, the first maintenance release of the NAV 3.14 series is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.14/3.14.15 The 3.14.15 fixes the following reported issues: * LP#1152173 (Deleting rrdviewer.conf causes crash when attempting to view graphs from ipdevinfo) * LP#1152599 (VLANs periodically lose one or more prefixes) * LP#1154626 (Threshold bulk config UI unresponsive, with javascript console error) * LP#1155096 (Filtering by category in syslog analyzer doesn't work) * LP#1156647 (Topology is not cleared when ports are shut down) * LP#1157154 (Netmap stopped working in NAV 3.14.1) * LP#1157594 (netbiostracker crashes when a netbios host reports an empty mac address) * LP#1157658 (Failing ipdevpoll plugin should be identified in log messages at the ERROR level) Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug :-) Binary packages for Debian will be made available as soon as possible. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on commission from UNINETT. Some people have experienced that the Debian package upgrade seems to freeze. While the NAV backend services are shut down during an upgrade, parts of NAV are still running inside Apache, and may hold on to database locks. This may prevent the package upgrade from updating the database schema - in such a case, restarting Apache from another terminal should unfreeze the upgrade. Happy NAVing everyone! -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

Netmap broken in 3.14.1
by Corey Thompson 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Just updated the Debian package to from 3.13.1 to 3.14.1 and netmap appears to no longer work, just the spinning wheel. Anyone else experiencing this? Haven't looked much further into it yet, but save myself some time if others have noticed the problem and have a solution. Also, (again, I haven't had time to look closely at it yet) is there a way to configure the geomap to plot only physical layer-2 connections? It is plotting vl1 connections to root hub along with the physical connections. Thanks for any assistance in advance, and I'll report if I find anything. -- Corey Thompson Technology Manager East Grand Forks Water and Light 1010 5th Ave NE East Grand Forks, MN 56721 218-399-3310 cthompson(a)egf.mn

Dlink DGS-3100 / DGS-3120 support
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi! Is Dlink DGS-3100 / DGS-3120 supported by NAV? If yes, why these errors are ocurring with ipdevpoll module? 2013-03-19 19:52:09,257 [WARNING plugins.typeoid.typeoid] [inventory 10.10.25.110] Netbox has changed type from unknown to unknown (sysObjectID 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.94.3) 2013-03-19 19:52:30,376 [ERROR jobs.jobhandler] [inventory 10.10.25.110 Job 'inventory' for 10.10.25.110 aborted: ('Job aborted due to plugin failure', TimeoutError('',)) 2013-03-19 19:54:49,507 [ERROR jobs.jobhandler] [linkcheck 10.10.25.110] Job 'linkcheck' for 10.10.25.110 aborted: ('Job aborted due to plugin failure', TimeoutError('',)) Is there a way to put ipdevpoll module in debug mode to see what is happening with more details? The device is correctly configured with snmpv2c. See it: # snmpwalk -v2c -c public 10.10.25.110 .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.40 iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.40 = STRING: "Ethernet Interface" That command was executed from the same VM that NAV is installed. I have another two monitored devices: Dlink DES-3028P and Dlink DES-3526. These two are correctly functional in NAV and those snmp configurations are set in the same way of Dlink DGS-3100. -- Att.

Found the fix for netmap at https://nav.uninett.no/hg/stable/rev/9d9b0b8670da and manually applied it to backbone.html. Still looking into the geomap configuration.
