New to nav system
by martin.jaburek＠cah.cz 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hello, I just installed nav system from source, so I have 4.0b5 up and running. I tried so far only few Cisco boxes of these two types - Catalyst 6504 - Catalyst 4506 Even on these I'm unable to obtain software version, modules etc. It shows serial numbers and ports (but not switch ports or router ports) I tried to find out, how to troubhleshoot the proces, but nothing was usefull. Can you please advise me, what can I do to make it work? brgds Mat

Migration to new NAV version
by Mischa Diehm 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi, we migrated our installation to a new HW and Debian stable (3.14.15-1 -> 3.15.5-1). I got all dump.py data migrated without problems. Now we got a lot of User Accounts and Groups with a lot of different Privilidges attached to them. Is there also a (painless) way of transforming this data into the new installation? Thanks in advance! Mischa -- Mischa Diehm | Network Operations Center (NOC) UniBasel | UniRechenZentrum (URZ) Klingebergstr. 70 | CH-4056 Basel Tel. +41 61 267 1574 | http://urz.unibas.ch

Hardware recommendation
by Mischa Diehm 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi, first of all welcome to the list! we (UniBasel) use NAV for quite some while now and are very pleased with the possibilities NAV gives us. We use Debian as OS with the following Setup: root@urz-nav:~# uname -a Linux urz-nav 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Fri May 10 09:44:53 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux root@urz-nav:~# cat /etc/debian_version 6.0.7 root@urz-nav:~# dpkg -l | grep nav ii nav 2+3.14.15-1 Network Administration Visualized A problem we have since a while is that our system is permanently under a lot of load (mostly CPU bound) and we haven't really found a way to reduce the pressure. The hardware we use is a hp blade (ProLiant BL460c G6) with: Intel(r) Xeon(r) Processor X5550 (4 Cores/ 8 Threats) (8M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 6.40 GT/s Intel(r) QPI) and: root@urz-nav:~# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 12321700 11673596 648104 0 387768 9123748 At the moment we have 1460 active Devices (mainly Cisco Switches). Around 30 or 40 are OVERDUE in: https://urz-nav/report/lastupdated So my question is, do you have any good experience with HW-systems that are actually dealing with this amount of devices or is there any tuning possibility (without losing functionality) we could try to reduce the pressure on the system?

06 Feb '14

The third beta release of the NAV 4.0 series is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/4.0/4.0b3 I'm also happy to report that the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the University of Agder have both signed on as beta testers using the virtual appliance. Here's the changelog summary of today's release: Bugfixes: * LP#1270095 (APC sensors stored at wrong precision) * All VLAN utilization graphs produced error messages in b2. User-visible features and improvements: * Inserted the new NAV logo, and completely reworked the page footer. * New NAV blog feed widget added as default. * UI clean-ups and improvements in front page widgets, login page, Geomap, SeedDB, Messages, PortAdmin, Radius, Syslog Analyzer, IP Device Info, room photo database, personal preferences page and others. * Fixed Internet Explorer 9 brokenness. * Tool descriptions have been completely re-authored, and are now also available as a subheading inside each tool. A Debian package has been uploaded to our APT repository. We have not yet built a new virtual appliance, but you can upgrading your existing one using the regular apt-get route. The updated package introduces a dependency to `python-feedparser`, so you may need to either use 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'apt-get install nav' to force an upgrade of the nav package (after issuing 'apt-get update', of course).

09 Jan '14

The second beta release of the NAV 4.0 series is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/4.0/4.0b2 This release fixes three bugs reported against the first beta version, as well as improving the UI of several of the tools: * LP#1262644 (seeddb bulk import does not work) * LP#1263040 (ipdevinfo should not crash when Graphite-web is not reachable) * LP#1267464 (NAV 4 must provide a tool for migrating RRD data from NAV 3) The most important of these changes is the addition of the conversion tool to migrate data from NAV 3's RRD files into NAV 4's Graphite metrics. This was held back from b1 due to license compatibility issues, which should now be resolved. Instructions for migrating RRD data has been added to the release notes, but in short, they refer to the migration guide available at [1]. A Debian package has been uploaded to our APT repository. We have not yet built a new virtual appliance, but upgrading your existing one should be simple matter of "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade".

Start automatically NAV services

Hi, Some NAV services don't start automatically (like "ipdevpoll") when my NAV server starts. I have to do it manually with the command "nav start ipdevpoll", and so on for each service not started. Do you know how can I make them start automatically ? Thank you very much :) Cédric.

Announcement: NAV 4.0 beta 1 released
by Morten Brekkevold 20 Des '13

20 Des '13

We are proud to present the first beta release of the NAV 4.0 series, which is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/4.0/4.0b1 This release introduces some major changes to NAV, signalled by the switch from major version 3 to 4. The two big changes are: 1. The complete replacement of Cricket as a 3rd party tool for statistics collection and graphing. NAV 4 collects the statistics using the already existing ipdevpoll SNMP collector, and uses Graphite as a 3rd party service for storing and graphing this data. This also means NAV no longer uses RRDtool for storing time-series data. 2. A full design overhaul of the web interface, using the Foundation CSS framework. As this is a beta release, not all parts of the interface have been fully reviewed for necessary changes yet. We are reviewing the design changes weekly, with help from the experienced interaction designer Christine Sætre. The full release notes for this release can be read at [1]. You are also advised to read the updated installation docs at [2]. We hope as many people as possible are interested in testing our upcoming beta release of the 4.0 series. We will be providing a binary package for Debian Wheezy shortly. More importantly, we will also provide a virtual appliance, complete with a Graphite installation, which should be deployable on most popular virtualization platforms. Using the instructions from [3], you should be able to easily migrate your production database to a (virtual) test server so you can test the new version without disrupting your current production installation. We will continue to support the 3.15 series for a good while after the final 4.0.0 release, but we have not yet decided how long the support period will be. As usual, please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug . Happy NAVing everyone!

New repository for the NAV Debian package
by Morten Brekkevold 30 Okt '13

30 Okt '13

As some of you may already have read, Werner is stepping down as the official maintainer of the NAV Debian package, mainly due to time constraints. UNINETT uses these packages in production, so as a result, I've taken over as package maintainer on behalf of UNINETT, and I will be building on the already awesome work Werner has put in. As of today, we've published our own APT repository for the packages we build. Instructions for using the repository can be found on the NAV wiki, at [1] . For those interested in the package sources, everything is version controlled and published on Bitbucket, at [2]. I've also enabled the issue tracker for that repository, so that any problems with the package itself can be reported there. Happy NAVing, everyone!

Announcement: NAV 3.15.0 released
by Morten Brekkevold 17 Okt '13

17 Okt '13

The initial release of the new NAV 3.15 series is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.15/3.15.0 This feature release brings many changes to NAV, including, but not limited to: * mod_python is no longer required; mod_wsgi is the new recommended way to deploy the NAV web interface. * Devices' conceptual layering of interfaces is now collected and presented in ipdevinfo. This enables you to, among other things, see which physical ports comprise a port- or etherchannel. Some vendors also use this to show which physical switch-ports are forwarding packets to/from a given VLAN interface. * The Netmap tool has been redesigned and re-engineered. Multiple improvements have been made based on user feedback. * The Netmap contents can now be exported/downloaded as an SVG file, but this feature is currently only supported by the Google Chrome browser. * Multiple parallel links are now indicated by the Netmap by two parallel black markers drawn across the link in question. Details of the underlying links are are now properly displayed when clicking on the link line. * Interactive next-hop neighbor map in new ipdevinfo tab. * "What-if" analysis in new ipdevinfo tab displays devices and organizations that may be affected if the selected device goes down. Based on NAV's topology information. * Images with descriptions can be uploaded and attached to rooms. Useful for, among other things, photo-documenting the contents of wiring closets. * Subcategories have been replaced by cross-category device groups. Arbitrary selections of IP devices can be organized into device groups. * Potentially out-of-date CAM and ARP records are highlighted in Machine Tracker search results. * Community strings are censored in SeedDB IP Device listing. * New program enables streamlined dumping and reloading, with optional filtering, of the NAV PostgreSQL database. This simplifies beta testing of new NAV versions by copying the production database to a test server. * 26 more metrics from APC UPS devices are now collected and graphed. Fixes for various reported bugs: * LP#1055383 (netmap saves a new view when it should update view) * LP#1057423 (netmap algorithm indicator turns red when clicking on something in left bar) * LP#1062203 (ipdevpoll job configuration description) * LP#1165039 (Selecting a datasource for bulk threshold config intermittently fails with "internal server error") * LP#1169926 (Replace mod_python with Django/WSGI) * LP#1213818 (LDAP authentication crashes on non-ASCII usernames and/or passwords) * LP#1222666 ("Uptime" in ipdevinfo never resets) There are also various dependency changes, documented in the release notes. Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug Binary packages for Debian will be made available as soon as possible.

Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug Morten Werner Forsbring will be stepping down as maintainer of the Debian package, which is also the reason that no official package has been announced for the 3.15.0 release. For those of you already following Werner's repository at http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org, the wheezy-test archive there does contain a 3.15.0 package, built in cooperation between Werner and myself. As we are using the Debian package in production at UNINETT, we will be maintaining and releasing the Debian package ourselves in the future. More details will be announced shortly.

Increase rommid column size table room
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 02 Okt '13

02 Okt '13

Morten, I need to add a roomid that has more than 30 chars. I've altered the size of rommid column in table room (at database level), but the HTML fields has a 30 chars limitation. Nav web has built on Django framework which is very nice ;), but I don't know where I can make this modification. *** EXPLANATION: Here at UFSC, we have devices in many places. Bellow has an example of devices physical location: UFSC (Santa Catarina's Federal University) Campus Trindade (City: Florianópolis - SC - Brazil) CCB (Biological's Science Centre) Morfologia (Morphology's Department) Secretaria da Morfologia (Morphology's Department Management Room) Lab. Virtual de Estudos Morfológicos (Virtual Laboratory of Morphological Studies) We have added UFSC as a Parent Organization for Campus Trindade (there are many other campus, but I try to focus only on Trindade): [image: Imagem inline 1] CCB (Biological's Science Centre) was registered as a location: [image: Imagem inline 2] All the other information we are try to register as a room. Here we are experiencing the mentioned limitation problems. We have thought to register these information as a Location, but the Location information isn't displayed at ip device info screen nor at Edit IP Device screen. Unfortunately, this complicates our work. Here is a simple room registry example: CCB_Morfologia_Lab. Virtual de Estudos Morfológicos:CCB::Contato - Gianor - 2320:Na Morfologia/Anatômico, passando a secretaria de morfologia, entre os anfiteatros:::-27.60106, -48.52385 If I try to split "CCB_Morfologia_Lab. Virtual de Estudos Morfológicos" into two fields: (rommid: CCB_Morfologia , description: Lab. Virtual de Estudos Morfológicos) this will cause a contraint violation, because I'll need to add another device that lives in Morphology's Department, but in another place (Morphology's Department Management Room for example). My sugestion is: 1 - add a field called Location in Edit IP Device screen which filters the Room field. 2 - add Location and Parent Organization information at IP Device Info. We can help you and your development team to make these modifications (and maybe others). This could be a nice starting. I hope you understand our necessity and help us to put NAV in production for replace Whatsup Gold. :) -- Att. Bruno Galindro da Costa
