navtopology is already running
by Ingeborg Hellemo 21 Mai '24

21 Mai '24

NAV 5.9.1 Suddenly, since yesterday, a lot (but not all) of the navtopology cron jobs sends an email with "navtopology is already running" An example: /var/log/cron Apr 30 09:35:00 <hostname> /usr/sbin/cron[69867]: (navcron) CMD (navtopology --l2 --vlan) 10 minutes later an email arrives Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2024 09:43:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: Cron <navcron@bjarne> navtopology --l2 --vlan navtopology is already running (69867) What can trigger this error? var/log/navtopology shows that the job runs as usual. (Last lines in the run is "deleting unused prefixes/vlans") The one thing that changed before this error turned up is that the server running NAV was moved behind Cisco ACI and a (application centric) firewall. --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

Closing down our IRC channel
by Morten Brekkevold 13 Mai '24

13 Mai '24

Hi everyone! We regret to inform you all that we will be closing NAV's official IRC channel on Libera.Chat by the end of this week. The IRC channel has seen very little activity these last few years, and it's harder to have the younger engineers on our team engage in IRC as a community tool. It seems I'm the only one from our team hanging around the channel, so by "closing" we really mean that I will stop paying attention to the channel, and the navbot will be taken down. Given the activity level of the IRC channel, we don't think anyone will miss it much. Going forward, we encourage you to use the discussion boards on GitHub [1] as a replacement, or just keep using this mailing list :) [1] https://github.com/Uninett/nav/discussions -- Sincerely, Morten Brekkevold Sikt – Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research

Ways to limit or disable the newly introduced PoE feature in Portadmin
by Philipp Petermann 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Hi, We just recently upgraded to 5.8. Congrats on the SNMPv3 implementation! However, the new possibility to set PoE on the ports via Portadmin gives us some headaches. We only (if ever) want to allow this feature on certain ports for certain users. Is there a way to limit or disable this feature?

Juniper port configuration

Hi all, We have got a Juniper switch on loan and I'm trying to configure it with Nav through Napalm. I have five ports in use, but Port admin only offers to set the vlan on two of them. Have I got something wrong in the cli or does the switch need to be rediscovered? Simon -- Simon Brown System Engineer EISCAT Scientific Association P. O.

Hi, I have had problems installing nav 57.1-2 on a Debian 11 from NAV repository with 'apt install nav'. The installation give the following warning, you have the choice to click OK. Database initialization failed │ │ Script output: │ │ Traceback (most recent call last): │ File "/usr/sbin/navsyncdb", line 2, in <module> │ from nav.pgsync import main │ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nav' <Ok> It is not possible to run "sudo -u postgres navsyncdb" after the installation either, same error message, for the same reason as above. I found that the symlinks are setup somehow wrong for nav binaries installed.

Setting device group for a device through API
by Håvard Ose Nordstrand 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

Hi! We're using a Python script to import devices from a Cisco DNA inventory, but I can't seem to find a way to set a device group for the devices through the API. I'm using PATCH with the "/api/1/netbox/{netbox_id}/" endpoint, but as far as I can understand from the source code, it only supports certain special attributes like "organizationid", "roomid" etc. and not arbitrary device attributes. Is this implemented? If not, would it be easy for me to implement a new API endpoint attribute for this or would this tie into a lot of other things? -- Med vennlig hilsen Håvard Ose Nordstrand Overingeniør – Faggruppe Nett NTNU IT, Drift [cid:8e2b2110-e280-4f3f-8c21-434fb33f3b8b]

Hi, we have a 3850 Stack with 3x ES-C3850-48T-S and 5x WS-C3850-12X48U. When we try to PortAdmin and edit a Port we get (see also attached Jpg): „IP device found but has no type“ Any ideas?

Alert profiles : how to read/check filters values ? set schedules ?
by FOUR Ludovic (EXT) 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

Hello, With the last version NAV 5.7, we can now create filters and raise alarms from Juniper chassis led (red or yellow) in the alert profiles. Thank you :) I'm trying to create new filters, but I can't check if it works really Can we list the values of all filters somewhere, for each device ? (Psql request ?) I trying to create an alert profile to send specific alarms at specific time for a specific group of users In my test profile, I can add a time period and choose start time (with valid format HH:MM or HH), and add subscriptions. In profile details the time periods valid during is 07:30 - 07:30 I don't know how to set a schedule from my subscriptions, for example from 7:30am (7h30) to 9pm (21h00) in weekdays. Regards, Ludovic FOUR CNRS / Faculté de Pharmacie Strasbourg France
