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

Announcement: NAV 3.14.1592 released
by Morten Brekkevold 30 Mai '13

30 Mai '13

NAV 3.14.1592, another maintenance release of the endless NAV 3.14 series is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.14/3.14.1592 This release changes some aspects of how Cricket is configured to collect traffic statistics, so we have added a couple of important upgrade notes: * The Cricket trees `switch-ports` and `router-interfaces` have been consolidated into a single `ports` tree, where all physical ports' traffic stats now also are collected. After running the usual `syncdb.py` command, you should run `mcc.py` once manually (as the navcron user) to ensure the Cricket config tree is updated right away. When everything is up and running again, you can optionally delete the `switch-ports` and `router-interfaces` directories from your `cricket-config` directory, as they are no longer used by NAV. * NAV now supplies its own `subtree-sets` configuration to Cricket. If you have made manual changes to your Cricket collection setup and/or this file, you may need to update your setup accordingly. This release fixes the following reported issues: * LP#1165193 (Prefix Matrix Doesn't Handle HSRP) * LP#1165206 (ARP Entries on HSRP Subnets are Double Counted) * LP#1169553 (Consolidate switch-ports, router-interfaces and physical port traffic statistics in Cricket) * LP#1169837 (servicemon debug logs no matter what the log level is set to) * LP#1169872 (VRRP/HSRP plugin is not enabled by default) * LP#1169986 (ipdevpoll spins in its tracks and doesn't reconnect on database connection loss) * LP#1170221 (Subnet matrix crashes with AttributeError when only one scope prefix is registered) * LP#1170291 (Mac search + DNS crashes with AttributeError in NAV 3.14.159) * LP#1170329 (eventengine dies on loss of database connection) * LP#1170374 (Alertengine dies on loss of database connection) * LP#1170634 (The SMS daemon dies when database connection is lost) * LP#1172204 (Device history crashes with NameError on invalid date input) Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug Binary packages for Debian will be made available as soon as possible.

NAV 3.14.159, another release of the endless NAV 3.14 series is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.14/3.14.159 The release fixes the following reported issues: * LP#1155128 (IndexError crash in Machine Tracker) * LP#1158214 (mcc.py does debug logging even when configured not to) * LP#1160921 (Geomap won't load map data over HTTPS in Chrome) * LP#1161108 (Room bulk import format doesn't include geo position) * LP#1163256 (snmptrapd crashes with "interrupted system call" error) * LP#1164582 (netmap bails on fetching network graph if interface.speed missing) * LP#1165017 (Adding 0.0.0.0/0 as excepted range causes netbiostracker to hang) 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.

Single device configurations
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Guys, is it possible to configure NAV to: 1 - ignore a single or a range of devices to be ignored from the polling process? I think this will be possible when we put it in maintenance mode. I'm right? 2 - apply per device ipdevpool's plugins intervals? According to docs, its is possible to set intervals for all devices but I hope that exists some other "hide" config to do that :) -- Att. Bruno Galindro da Costa

rsyslog, logger.conf and cisco devices
by Ted 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

I am running NAV ver. 3.14.15 (downloaded the virtual appliance and did an upgrade) but I am unable to get the syslog part to work (as well as cricket but that I am still researching) The original logger.conf points to /var/lib/nav/log/cisco.log - shouldn't that point to /var/log/nav? Anyway I changed that to point to /var/log/messages I also had to enable in rsyslog.conf to receive UDP messages by uncommenting the lines $ModLoad imudp and $UDPServerRun 514. When I do tail -f /var/log/messages I can see that the Cisco switches are sending messages. If I try to pull up the syslog messages through NAV however it tells me that there are no messages. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

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
