Frsh install NAV & Graphite issue
by Erik 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Hi, I see some graphs in NAV and some not. Particularity the Etherports are empty? Sensors tab shows graphs. Graphite on port 8000 works and shows devices and graphs. The only thing I can find in the log is: [WARNING] [pid=526 nav.django.auth] User default denied access to /search/? query=10.100.5.1 Which in my noobie experience with NAV and Graphite i cannot make out what is wrong? I cannot find anything for days now in any google serach on NAV installs.... Cheers Erik

Thresholds
by René Romijn 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Hi, We are using some thresholds on some important uplinks and they are working good. But, is it possible to set a time-range to disable the thresholds? At night we are running a backup and then the thresholds gives an alarm, so it would be nice to disable that on those times. Kind regards, Rene

Basic NetMap Question
by fgsilva＠gmail.com 15 Mai '17

15 Mai '17

Hello, I have downloaded NAV to test in my company. I have installed the software and configured around 30 production switches and routers to see how the tool works. Everything is going well except for one point. When I open the Netmap module, I can see a graphic representation of all devices on the page, however the lines connecting the devices are all green even if the device is reporting down. (If I click on it there is a red icon on the top right side of the window). My question is, what is the criteria to change the graphic representation to red ? E.g. If the device is not reporting SNMP but it is replying ping, should the status be green ? Thanks in advance, Fernando.

Hi, I have 2 questions, First: I would like to add a statistic in the file /etc/nav/sortedStats.conf but nothing appears when I go to the page Ranked Statistics. Should we change something else? In the documentation we talk about Cricket but it seems to me that this one is no longer used Example: [trunkinerrors] name: Test trunk interface in path: ports dsdescr: ifinerrors modifier: * 1000 units: milliErrors / sec linkview: Errors Second: Is it possible to run a command line statistics without having to click on the button "Show statistics" in the Ranked Statistics page ?

Duplicate arps on prefixes with hsrp.
by Jan Sigurd Refvik 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Hello all. We have recently noticed that machine tracker will report duplicate arps on every entry on networks running hsrp. Looking at the gwportprefix.virual, it is set to 't' for the 'virtual' interfaces and 'f' for the 'real' interfaces. Seems right. I believe only the active interface should be collected, or have I missed something? Any magic wands or switches? The 2 'real' interfaces are entered in the seed database, not the virtual. We do not use the NTNU port description convention. We are running nav 4.6.1 and the last schema update is 4.6.56. Any thoughts here? Regards

PortAdmin - save changes in HP 5130 switch?
by Mattias Söderholm 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Hi. We have now inserted some HP 5130 EI (also HP 5700) switches in NAV and want to use PortAdmin. Everything works except saving to memory. The problem is the save command! For HP Procurve switches you use "save" or "write memory" commands to save changes and it's done. HP 5130 EI is a little bit different. There you must use "save force", if you only use "save" command you have to answer some questions. Can this be fixed? Regards Mattias

The first maintenance release of the 4.6 series release of NAV is now out! The source code is available for download at GitHub [1]. A new package for Debian Jessie is published in our APT repository [2], as usual. The virtual appliance will be updated shortly. Changes ======= NAV has moved to GitHub. Issues are now tracked at [3]. Due to the migration of bug data from Launchpad, reporter and subscriber information has been lost (all bugs appear to be reported by jmbredal). If you have existing bug reports you still wish to keep an eye on, you can find the migrated issue by searching the Launchpad bug number in our GitHub issue tracker. Fixed issues in this release: * #320 (Error in IPAM function after upgrade to 4.6) * #321 (Graph widget modifies graph interval to 24 hours, no matter what the URL says) * #891 ("rooms with active alerts"-widget needs event filter) * #892 (cancelled maintenance tasks with no endtime are displayed) * #893 (Long log lines cause logging to stop for ipdevpoll processes in multiprocess mode) * #1022 (Some dropdowns not sorted in Alert Profiles) * #1024 (support external links in ups widget) * #1238 (choose columns in status widget) * #1425 (Using arrow keys to navigate when there is only a single dashboard moves to a 'undefined' dashboard, resulting in a 404 Not Found) * #1426 (Left/right arrow keys are captured globally on dashboards, making it impossible to make small edits to widget titles and such) * #1412 (multiple dashboards should be presented as tabs) Happy NAVing everyone!

RE: Graph in Dashboard

Hi Morten, First of all, you are right, I am now adding nav-users on copy. I have read the documentation http://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/render_api.html#from-until, but as I am not so expert, it is a bit hard to understand. But I am trying again... In the meanwhile, could you please give me some more precise advice to write the correct code that will allow me to get the right graph ? Here is the current graph URL that show only the last 24 hours stats (while I would like to get the stat of the last hour with automatic refresh) : /graphite/render?from=-1day&target=alias%28scaleToSeconds%28nonNegativeDerivative%28scale%28nav.devices.swfrgp01_eu_barilla_net.ports.Gi1_0_1.ifInOctets%2C8%29%29%2C1%29%2C%22In%22%29&target=alias%28scaleToSeconds%28nonNegativeDerivative%28scale%28nav.devices.swfrgp01_eu_barilla_net.ports.Gi1_0_1.ifOutOctets%2C8%29%29%2C1%29%2C%22Out%22%29&title=Traffic+on+swfrgp01.eu.barilla.net%3AGi1%2F0%2F1+%28Internet%29&height=250&width=0&template=nav&vtitle=bits%2Fs&until=now Thanks.

If yes, how can I proceed ? Hi Cedric, it would normally be possible, but due to a bug [1], it won't be possible again until the next bugfix release (unless you manually apply the bugfix patch from [2]). The "normal" way of customizing your graph would be to alther the graph URL from the widget's edit panel. You'll want to look at the from/until arguments, as described in Graphite's own docs at [3]. In closing, I ask that you please post these kinds of questions on the nav-users mailing list in the future, so the information/discussion can be of benefit to everyone :-) [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav/+bug/1647664 [2] https://nav.uninett.no/hg/nav/rev/59196ae30fe7 [3] http://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/render_api.html#from-until -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

Switching to GitHub
by Morten Brekkevold 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Hello all, As we will be involving more people from UNINETT in NAV development over the coming year, we have decided to spend some time on consolidating our workflow tools. In short, "we want to be using the same tools as other developers at UNINETT are using these days". This will have the following effects for NAV in the coming days and weeks: * We will switch from using Mercurial as our version control system, to using Git. * We will host our Git repository at GitHub, under the UNINETT organization [1]. * We will transfer existing bug reports from Launchpad into GitHub issues, then disable the Launchpad project. * The mirror repository at BitBucket will be removed. * The nav-debian package repository will also move from Bitbucket to GitHub. The most finicky part of this transition will be the migration of bug reports from Launchpad. GitHub only provides a rate-limited API to manipulate issues, which means migration of all reports may take days once started. Most likely, if you have reported or are otherwise subscribed to bug reports at Launchpad, you will have to re-subscribe at GitHub to continue to receive updates as bugs are worked on.

Problem with adding services

NAV 4.6.0 The first input box in /seeddb/service/add/ says "Search for IP device". When I write more than 3 characters in the box it says "searching" and I get a spinning wheel of death and get no further. Is this a bug or am I missing a library or something?

NAV API endpoint for useradmin
by Mischa Diehm 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

Hi all, I’m wondering if you also see a valid demand in having the useradmin interface as an API endpoint. We use „web_access“ privs a lot and it is always a pain if sth. changes for a given group (either in the set of switches we allow access to or in the networks we give privs to). We usually have to delete all the privs and put in the new ones. My question to you: do you have a better way to deal with this and if no would an exposure through the API help you with that? Cheers, Mischa -- Mischa Diehm | Network Team (NINS) UniBasel | IT-Services (ITS) Klingebergstr. 70 | CH-4056 Basel Tel. +41 61 267 1574 | https://its.unibas.ch
