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

Announcement: NAV 4.6.1 released
by Morten Brekkevold 26 Jan '17

26 Jan '17

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
by Orzakiewicz Cedric 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

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
by Ingeborg Hellemo 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

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? No error messages in the obvoius places. --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

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

Removing Apache Dependency Requirement?

So, what are the chances that the Apache requirement can be removed/laxed in leu of any other web server? Especially since its a fallback system and if one tries to install nav on a machine that already has NGINX on it, it downright fails.

Hi, I am running NAV 4.6.0 I successfully added some devices. Then I noticed that they had no name, only their IP as device name. So I added the corresponding entries to my DNS server.

Hi We recently upgraded from 4.4.3 to 4.5.3 by building a new server with the supplied ovf file, and migrated the database using the procedure referenced in the following link. https://nav.uninett.no/doc/4.5/howto/migrate-data.html The cli command we used to restore used the --drop-database --create --restore switches on the new server. We now not the directory structure seems for the cam, arp folders is now / api/1/arp, whereas on the 4.4.3 box it was /api/arp. Is this due to the restore method we have used or has the directory structure changed Many thanks
