Warning from eventengine - topology problem
by Ingeborg Hellemo 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

NAV 3.13.0 Eventengine logs a lot of topology problems of two kinds. One regarding the NAV-server itself: 2013-02-18 11:23:37,173 [WARNING nav.eventengine.topology] NAVServer('129.242.5.182') topology problem: router ma-gsw3.infra is up, but not in VLAN graph for <Prefix: 129.242.5.0/24 (vlan 103 (nett,srv,5-nettet))>. Defaulting to 'reachable' status. The other kind regarding some (but not all) random devices: 2013-02-18 11:23:37,740 [WARNING nav.eventengine.topology] nfh-b100-nc.prn topology problem: router nfh-gsw.infra is up, but not in VLAN graph for <Prefix: 10.253.19.0/24 (vlan 600 (uit,prn))>. Defaulting to 'reachable' status. Is there anything we can do to in our setup to eliminate the warnings (except changing the debug level...)? --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

We are running NAV 3.13.0 since 08.02.13 Some days ago something happened in our environment that caused eventengine to throw an error: 2013-02-13 17:08:57,887 [ERROR nav.eventengine.engine] Unhandled exception in plugin <nav.eventengine.plugins.boxstate.BoxStateHandler object at 0x804e170d0> ; ignoring it Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/eventengine/engine.py", line 190, in handle_event handler.handle() File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/eventengine/plugins/delayedstate.py", line 52, in handle return self._handle_start() File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/eventengine/plugins/delayedstate.py", line 68, in _handle_start self._set_internal_state_down() File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/eventengine/plugins/boxstate.py", line 29, in _set_internal_state_down shadow = self._verify_shadow() File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/eventengine/plugins/delayedstate.py", line 189, in _verify_shadow netbox.up = (Netbox.UP_DOWN if netbox_appears_reachable(netbox) File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/eventengine/topology.py", line 32, in netbox_appears_reachable target_path = get_path_to_netbox(netbox) File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/eventengine/topology.py", line 82, in get_path_to_netbox path = networkx.shortest_path(graph, netbox, router) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/networkx-1.6-py2.7.egg/networkx/ algorithms/shortest_paths/generic.py", line 124, in shortest_path paths=nx.bidirectional_shortest_path(G,source,target) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/networkx-1.6-py2.7.egg/networkx/ algorithms/shortest_paths/unweighted.py", line 138, in bidirectional_shortest_path results=_bidirectional_pred_succ(G,source,target) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/networkx-1.6-py2.7.egg/networkx/ algorithms/shortest_paths/unweighted.py", line 205, in _bidirectional_pred_succ raise nx.NetworkXNoPath("No path between %s and %s." % (source, target)) NetworkXNoPath: No path between <server> and <router> This happened for 5 servers all on the same GSW.

A beta version of the next NAV feature release, version 3.13.0b1, is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.13/3.13.0b1 The 3.13.0b1 release adds the following user-visible features and improvements: * The eventEngine has been rewritten to Python. This was the last remaining Java component of NAV, meaning Java is no longer needed for installing and running NAV. * VLANs are now searchable from the Navbar. * IPv4, IPv6 and MAC host counts for each VLAN is now graphed over time. * NAV is now able to detect and graph data from sensors on Cisco Nexus devices. * Maintenance tasks can now be configured to end automatically when all components involved in the task are up. * IP Devices that are down can be placed on immediate maintenance until up again directly from the status page. * Subscriptions to MAC address prefixes are now possible in Macwatch. Use with caution! And contains fixes for these reported issues: * LP#305435 (Sort by "Start time" or "End time" in machinetracker) * LP#305441 (Button for "Put on maintenance immediately") * LP#317800 (Color gradient to express utilization of IPv6 subnets) * LP#341703 (Manual detention does not pursue client) * LP#361530 (Arnold: Predefined detention does not exponentially increase detentions) * LP#744932 (Arnold should give warning if snmp write is not configured) * LP#833959 (make install overwrites nav.conf and db.conf) * LP#922793 (Possibility to set end time = "until device is up again " in maintenance) * LP#961097 (Don't list cancelled maintenance tasks in active list) * LP#961100 (Show component details in maintenance task list when there is only a single component) * LP#1057509 (Mouseovers with number of active IPv6 addresses in Subnet Matrix) * LP#1057511 (Get sensor information from CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB) * LP#1062130 (NAV should graph IP address usage per prefix) * LP#1069773 (macwatch should be able to look for MAC address prefixes too) Remember, this is still beta status, and should not necessarily be considered production ready. 3.13 features two major rewrites, one for the eventengine one for the port blocker, Arnold. If you want to help us test the beta version, you are most welcome.

That's weird; the code involved here doesn't distinguish between device categories, it just checks what VLANs the device reports, if any. Could you share with us the actual responses given to the snmp queries you performed (censoring any secrets from the community outputs)? > So, can this be related to Cisco model 28xx or is this related to > configuration on the device when it comes to VLAN/VTP?

Cisco Routers SNMP Trap issue
by Mattias Torsfred 07 Des '12

07 Des '12

Hi, I have setup a NAV 3.12.2 and started to add Cisco L2 and L3 equipment into the seed database. I use an other software to monitor the devices as well. When it comes to Cisco routers (not Cisco L3 switches) I get many SNMP Traps "Too many SNMP authentication failures . Check for hacking attempt on x.x.x.x" and "SNMP incorrect community name...". I am aware of the issue/design of NAV when it comes to VLAN browsing and that this might be the case. Is there any configuration I can set on Cisco routers or in NAV to prevent this kind of behavior? I need to have the traps in case there actual is an SNMP brute force attempt. Kind Regards Mattias Torsfred Systemconsultant Funn IT

overdue jobs
by Matej Gregr 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hello, I have noticed, that NAV is reporting jobs as overdue, even though a job end with success. I believe the problem is caused by trigger trim_old_ipdevpoll_job_log_entries, which should delete the old jobs from the ipdevpoll_job_log table. DELETE FROM ipdevpoll_job_log WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM ipdevpoll_job_log WHERE job_name=NEW.job_name AND netboxid=NEW.netboxid ORDER BY end_time ASC OFFSET 100); When there are 100 log entries for a job in the nav database the trigger will delete the newest logged job instead of oldest one. I believe, that the ORDER BY clause should be DESC not ASC. Regards, M.

Layer 2 and layer 3 maps are now separate, and elinks/peers can optionally be displayed on L3. * Searches in the navbar will now return results from rooms and interfaces, as well as IP devices. * New room view with powerful port overview, enabling sorting, filtering and exporting information to CSV files. * IP Device Info has been cleaned up, now with more information, navigateable via a tabbing interface. * A map of registered room locations with status indicators can now be embedded in the main page by removing the commented-out sections of the `welcome-registered.txt` file. * IPv6 traffic counters for router interfaces. Vendor support for this seems dismal at the moment, so keep nagging for software updates! If upgrading from previous NAV versions, new cricket configuration templates need to be copied; please read the release notes. * ipdevpoll now supports both VRRP and HSRP. * The maximum number of concurrent collection jobs in an ipdevpoll process can now be configured, which is useful in situations where the process runs out of resources such as file descriptors. * ipdevpoll job runs are now all logged to the database, enabling more details and analysis of job statuses in the web interface. ipdevinfo will now display a timestamp for each of the configured jobs, complete with status indicators and warnings for jobs that may be overdue. * The Maintenance and Messages tool have been migrated from mod_python to Django, and especially the former has received some improvements along the way. And contains fixes for these reported issues: * LP#736825 (Replace ip-hostname search in toolbar with a more generic searchbox) * LP#1039490 (Mixed IPv4 and IPv6 elinks are mis-labeled as lans) * LP#1040043 (Incorrect layer 2 topology in networks with VRRP routers) * LP#1043791 (MAX_CONCURRENT_JOBS needs to be configurable) * LP#1044321 (SNMP timeout value is not respected during Cisco community indexing) * LP#1046227 (Django >= 1.2 deprecation warnings) Don't forget to check out the release notes before/during/after upgrading to NAV 3.12. Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug :-) Binary packages for Debian will be made available as soon as possible.

Announcement: NAV 3.11.4 released
by Morten Brekkevold 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

NAV 3.11.4 is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.11/3.11.4 This maintenance release contains fixes for 7 reported issues, as well as some performance improvements to the collection system: Bugfixes: * LP#644155 (Network Explorer never returns response to some searches) * LP#912276 (Device History Request-URI Too Large) * LP#996955 (All sensor stats are named "Sensor", and clutter the ipdevinfo view) * LP#997008 (Failed ipdevpoll jobs aren't properly rescheduled) * LP#997606 (add option to run each ipdevpoll job type in separate process) * LP#997980 (bad MAC for IPv6 addresses from Catalyst 6500) * LP#999606 (dhcping is not documented as requirement for DHCP service monitor) Various performance-related improvements: * Internal caching of collected SNMP variables pr. ipdevpoll SNMP session. * Various tweaks to avoid producing unnecessary SNMP queries. * Added database indexes for some potentially slow and frequently used queries. * Added ipdevpolld multiprocess option to run each job type as separate subprocess (enabling this will consume up to 60 PostgreSQL connections, be warned!) * An -n option was added to ipdevpolld. Used in combination with the -J option, ipdevpoll will run a single job for a single netbox as a foreground process. * When new jobs are added to the internal ipdevpoll job queues, boxes are prioritized in ascending order of last update time. I.e. ipdevpoll will run jobs first for boxes that are new or haven't completed an inventory job in a long time.
