Ranked Statistics: 12334963.32 percent
by Ingeborg.Hellemo＠cc.uit.no 30 Okt '07

30 Okt '07

12334963.32 percent is a nice number if you talk about increase in wages, but not if you talk about mortgage rates or CPU load. Something is wrong with our "Ranked Statistics". Top 20 CPU Routers show 6 boxes with impossible values, but if i click on the "Target"-link, the graph shows normal values (but not high enough to put it into Top 20). The rest of the boxes show normal values. The other views shows just as erroneous behaviour. Is this a result of us using RRDtool version 1.2.23? --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg ?strem Hellemo -- ingeborg(a)cc.uit.no (Univ. of Troms?, Norway)

Pilot installation and some problems
by rskjels＠pogostick.net 16 Okt '07

16 Okt '07

Dear all, I have installed Network Administration Visualized 3.3.0 on Debian Etch. I have installed NAV through aptitude. I'm very impressed with the amount of work and thought that have gone into this software package. However, i do have several problems. I can not see any informastion in the section called "Port View" when i click on a device in Home > Report > Devices in Operation Could this be some snmpproblem? I installed net-snmp and could do a snmpwalk against the device. Also serveral devices report Availability like this one: Availability -4.1e+180% -5.1e+175% -3.8e+166% (day / week / month) Could this be snmpversion troubles? When i try click on the Traffic Map, all i get is a new page showing a java aplet that just show the java logo. I have tried this with both firefox and IE. The only way to exit is to kill the browser process. Could this be a java version problem. getDeviceData.log is zero size. /var/log/nav/getDeviceData/getDeviceData-stdout.log is also zero. In /var/log/nav/getDeviceData/getDeviceData-stderr.log contains: java.lang.NullPointerException at snmp.SNMPSequence.setValue(Unknown Source) at snmp.SNMPVariablePair.<init>(Unknown Source) at snmp.SNMPv1CommunicationInterface.getNextMIBEntry(Unknown Source) at no.ntnu.nav.SimpleSnmp.SimpleSnmp.getAllJavaSnmp(SimpleSnmp.java:665) at no.ntnu.nav.SimpleSnmp.SimpleSnmp.getAll(SimpleSnmp.java:640) at no.ntnu.nav.SimpleSnmp.SimpleSnmp.getAll(SimpleSnmp.java:616) at no.ntnu.nav.SimpleSnmp.SimpleSnmp.getAll(SimpleSnmp.java:598) at no.ntnu.nav.SimpleSnmp.SimpleSnmp.getAll(SimpleSnmp.java:522) at OidTester.doTest(OidTester.java:115) at OidTester.oidTest(OidTester.java:44) at QueryNetbox.run(QueryNetbox.java:724) java.lang.NullPointerException at snmp.SNMPSequence.setValue(Unknown Source) at snmp.SNMPVariablePair.<init>(Unknown Source) at snmp.SNMPv1CommunicationInterface.getMIBEntry(Unknown Source) at no.ntnu.nav.SimpleSnmp.SimpleSnmp.getAllJavaSnmp(SimpleSnmp.java:690) at no.ntnu.nav.SimpleSnmp.SimpleSnmp.getAll(SimpleSnmp.java:640) at no.ntnu.nav.SimpleSnmp.SimpleSnmp.getAll(SimpleSnmp.java:616) at no.ntnu.nav.SimpleSnmp.SimpleSnmp.getNext(SimpleSnmp.java:303) at no.ntnu.nav.getDeviceData.deviceplugins.MibIISw.MibIISw.processMibII(MibIISw.java:308) at no.ntnu.nav.getDeviceData.deviceplugins.MibIISw.MibIISw.handleDevice(MibIISw.java:144) at QueryNetbox.run(QueryNetbox.java:787) Could this be related to the missing port view section?

Still looks fishy to me, when the java command appears not to understand the regular arguments. There's a lot of things we could check here: * What is your JAVA_HOME environment variable set to? * Can you confirm this is the value set for the cronjob? * What is JAVA_HOME set to in nav.conf? * Are there any other JVMs installed? ("rpm -qa | grep java" and "update-alternatives --display java") * What Java VM is running getDeviceData? (ps axuwww|grep getDeviceData) Is networkDiscovery the only NAV process which gives you this problem?

The service monitor is mostly an unknown beast to the current developers, and we suspect it has many problems.

Also, servicemon.conf can be used to configure the debug level of this log. I'm looking at the SmbChecker plugin now, and it doesn't look good to me, though. It parses the output of the following command to verify the status of a samba server: /usr/bin/smbclient -L %s -p %i %s 2>/dev/null %s is the server IP address (or host name configured when adding the service handler), %i is the configured port (139). If you've entered a username and password in the service handler config, %s will be "-U username%password", and if you configured a workgroup, it will also contain "-W workgroup". This also means that your smbclient program must be located in /usr/bin/smbclient , since this is hard coded into the plugin :-( If your smbclient is not located in /usr/bin, or your version of smbclient does not support the above mentioned arguments, then I guess you will have trouble with this plugin. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From morten.brekkevold at uninett.no Fri Oct 12 11:17:29 2007 From: morten.brekkevold at uninett.no (Morten Brekkevold) Date: Fri Oct 12 10:18:15 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] Traffic Map will not display In-Reply-To: <3987.207.61.90.34.1191436754.squirrel(a)webmail.niagara.com> References: <3987.207.61.90.34.1191436754.squirrel(a)webmail.niagara.com> Message-ID: <470F2D99.2080109(a)uninett.no> rkillick(a)niagara.com wrote, On 03-10-2007 20:39: > The Traffic Map will not display and simply shows an empty box where the > map should be, and a lone remark in the status bar at the bottom left > "Applet vlanPlot notinted".

Hi Bob, My first question is: Does the Network Explorer work for you? When the traffic map applet has problems, you should enable your Java Console and load the applet again, to see what is logged in the console. I can't give you an exact account of how to enable the Java Console, as this depends on both your OS and browser, and I don't know which you're using. If you can't figure it out by yourself, tell me which os/browser you are using, and I'll help you. Typical problems with the traffic map are: * The tomcat servlet container isn't running, so the traffic map cannot fetch it's data. * The apache server is accessed under a different host name than what is configured in the ServerName apache config option. The traffic map will attempt to fetch its data from a an URL with the ServerName in the host part, but the java applet security model will not allow applets to access anything but the same hostname the applet was loaded from. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From morten.brekkevold at uninett.no Fri Oct 12 11:23:24 2007 From: morten.brekkevold at uninett.no (Morten Brekkevold) Date: Fri Oct 12 10:23:29 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] Could not connect to servlet In-Reply-To: <58B7A531794E6A49B3BAD57E333225440249A320(a)engexc11.archstonesmith.com> References: <58B7A531794E6A49B3BAD57E333225440249A320(a)engexc11.archstonesmith.com> Message-ID: <470F2EFC.1090408(a)uninett.no> Pabon, Nestor wrote, On 08-10-2007 19:09: > When attempting selecting the Network Explorer I get the following: [snip] > error: (111, 'Connection refused') > This is a packaged installation of NAV 3.2.2. on a Debian Etch 4.0.

Yes, PostgreSQL has always interpreted a backslash as an escape character, so these INSERT statements escape the backslash that we want to store in the database using a backslash, i.e. \\ to store one \ . But it seems PostgreSQL is going to change this behaviour in the future, so I guess they added a warning about in in 8.2. Google yielded this: http://www.mydatabasesupport.com/forums/1004812-post2.html This is probably going to be a problem for many software packages, including NAV, since most database drivers tend to escape special characters in strings using backslashes. I'm sure you'll see more of these warnings in the logs while NAV is running. If you want to get rid of them, I suggest adding "escape_string_warning = off" to your postgresql.conf, as one of the suggested solutions in the above URL reads. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From prieheck at iwu.edu Fri Oct 12 10:29:09 2007 From: prieheck at iwu.edu (Pat Riehecky) Date: Fri Oct 12 16:29:14 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] Java error In-Reply-To: <470F30E6.1010401(a)uninett.no> References: <1191965071.15629.17.camel(a)thales.iwu.edu> <470F30E6.1010401(a)uninett.no> Message-ID: <1192199349.10913.32.camel(a)thales.iwu.edu> Hello, I followed the instructions at http://metanav.uninett.no/InstallingOnRHEL4 [root@stats networkDiscovery]# which java /usr/bin/java [root@stats networkDiscovery]# `which java` -version java version "1.5.0_13" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-b05, mixed mode) [root@stats networkDiscovery]# rpm -qa |grep sun java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13-1jpp.1.el4 java-1.5.0-sun-jdbc-1.5.0.13-1jpp.1.el4 # ls -l `which java` lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Oct 2 03:32 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java [root@stats bin]# ls -l /etc/alternatives/java lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Oct 12 09:13 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java I also have the slightly older java recommended by the instructions, but I get the same error either way.

postgres and "nonstandard use of \\"

No, that won't be necessary. I've just tested it some more and found that this only happens if no response is received, not even an ICMP port-not-reachable message. If the NAV server receives such an ICMP message from the target or the router, it will instead display "Connection refused". I guess this indicates that the SNMP UDP request packet is lost on the way to the target, either dropped by some firewall or the box itself, or the return packet is dropped in a similar fashion. I will add an issue for this in the bugtracker, but for now, the error message can be intepreted as a timeout error. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From morten.brekkevold at uninett.no Fri Oct 5 12:33:01 2007 From: morten.brekkevold at uninett.no (Morten Brekkevold) Date: Fri Oct 5 11:33:52 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] Announcement: NAV 3.3.0 RC1 released In-Reply-To: <4700E4AD.3060709(a)gmail.com> References: <46EFCB84.70504(a)uninett.no> <46F8AC23.8090409(a)gmail.com> <4700B683.4050103(a)uninett.no> <4700E4AD.3060709(a)gmail.com> Message-ID: <470604CD.9050004(a)uninett.no> Erik Weber wrote, On 01-10-2007 14:14: >> I suspect you are thinking of process monitoring through SNMP?

Traffic Map will not display
by rkillick＠niagara.com 03 Okt '07

03 Okt '07

I have recently installed Nav 3.2.2 onto a CentOS 4.5 workstation using the available installation notes. I have been able to seed the database (6 xGSW + 43 x SW) and have tested most of the tool box tools without much problem with the exception of the Traffic Map. The Traffic Map will not display and simply shows an empty box where the map should be, and a lone remark in the status bar at the bottom left "Applet vlanPlot notinted". Note: The "IP address scope - graphical view" works fine. I have placed 6 x GSW (C3750s) into the '_Top' map container. Any ideas as to where to begin looking for the problem would be appreciated.

The two methods your compiler is unable to find were added to SimpleSnmp.java after NAV 3.2.2, and are present in the 3.3 release candidate. It's as if you are compiling a new version of getDeviceData against an old version of SimpleSnmp. Of course, when you replace OidTester.java with a version as old as the SimpleSnmp.java without the two new symbols, you will have success in compiling, but you will experience other problems during runtime (such as the Drexel SNMP memory leak / inifinite loop problem). Are you sure /home/ghita/proiect/nav-3.3.0_rc1/ does not contain remnants of old NAV versions? -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From morten.brekkevold at uninett.no Mon Oct 1 11:57:39 2007 From: morten.brekkevold at uninett.no (Morten Brekkevold) Date: Mon Oct 1 10:57:42 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] Announcement: NAV 3.3.0 RC1 released In-Reply-To: <46F8AC23.8090409(a)gmail.com> References: <46EFCB84.70504(a)uninett.no> <46F8AC23.8090409(a)gmail.com> Message-ID: <4700B683.4050103(a)uninett.no> Erik Weber wrote, On 25-09-2007 08:35: > Glad to see a new release, does this version support surveillance of > services on snmp enabled servers?

Due to limited resources, the core NAV developer team is not focusing on new service monitoring functionality, but on the core network monitoring functionality. The University of Troms?, however, are interested in using, maintaining and developing further the service monitoring aspects of NAV. You should maybe have a chat with Ole Martin Bj?rndalen of the University of Troms?, whom I've Cc:ed in this e-mail.

Debian Etch with the latest > package from Werner. A quick look at the code reveals a bizarre procedure; EditDB attempts to find out which SNMP version the box supports. It first attempts version 2c, if this times out it tries version 1, if this also times out it claims the SNMP version is 0. Apparently this value is used in later requests, which, of course, fails miserably. So, to make it short: It seems that what really happens when you get this message is that SNMP communication with the box timed out. I need to inspect the code a bit closer before I can tell when this actually occurs and figure out how to fix it. Question for you: Does this happen when you insert single boxes using the Add form, or does it happen only when bulk importing? Or does it happen on both?

The DEBUG_LEVEL in nav.conf only sets debug levels for the Java subsystems (i.e. getDeviceData, eventEngine, getBoksMacs, networkDiscovery).

You don't specify which version of NAV you are running, but I'm sure you're not using anything earlier than 3.1.1. We fixed a long standing problem with missing link load in the Traffic Map in that version, but you may be experiencing a different problem. The Traffic Map applet requests its data from the vPServer servlet running in the Tomcat container; the vPServer component calls the vprrd.py script to retrieve the actual RRD data, and something might have gone wrong during the calling of this script. I have to go now, but I will get back to you on this later, when I figure out whether there are any logs you can check to find the problem. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Globetrotter.

Centos 5 and NAV 3.2.2

Given the OID compatibility report you sent, NAV should be able to detect the ports on this routing switch; the ports are detected using standard mibs. Yet you say that _no_ ports are detected? If that is so, I would like to see what getDeviceData.log says when it collects from this device. When it comes to modules, I must admit that NAV's support for HP equipment is lacking in several respects. The HP support was written and tested using the equipment that was available at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology at the time, and these were all HP SwitchStacks. Consequently, NAV only recognizes virtual stacking in HP equipment, and cannot at all recognize modules in your HP chassis. It is in our plans to implement more generic module support through interpreting the ENTITY-MIB. I'm guessing your HP9304M presents a fairly correct view of its physical contents through its entPhysicalTable? Since I have no access to a 9304M myself, but am planning to code the ENTITY-MIB support, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with the output of this table from your device; running this command on your NAV server should do it: snmptable -Ci -Cb -v2c -c <community> <ip> entPhysicalTable -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From morten.brekkevold at uninett.no Thu Sep 6 12:12:49 2007 From: morten.brekkevold at uninett.no (Morten Brekkevold) Date: Thu Sep 6 11:13:05 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] Centos 5 and NAV 3.2.2 In-Reply-To: <200709031022.52942.barbieri.marco(a)unimore.it> References: <200709031022.52942.barbieri.marco(a)unimore.it> Message-ID: <46DFC491.4070702(a)uninett.no> Marco Barbieri wrote, On 03-09-2007 10:22: > first of all i'm trying to run NAV 3.2.2 on a Centos 5 and i know it's not > supported, That depends on what you mean by "supported" :) We do not guaruantee support to anyone, but you should be able to have NAV up and run on any Linux distro.

I'm not sure what changed, since the API should remain the same - only the driver should work better against PostgreSQL 8.1.

Mailing list problems
by morten.brekkevold＠uninett.no 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

We still seem to be having problems with our mailing list setup. nav-commit and nav-dev are confirmed to be working fine, but nav-users apparently doesn't. Some subscribers seem to be getting the mails sent to nav-dev(a)itea.ntnu.no, while others are not (myself included). However, none of these mails are stored in the mailing list archives. I've asked the guys at itea.ntnu.no to take a look at this problem, but apparently all their postmasters have taken their summer vacations simultaineously (!), so I cannot really say when this problem will be fixed. I would have moved the mailing lists to a different server to ensure continued service, were it not for the fact that I'll be taking 4 weeks of vacation starting today. Therefore I've asked John-Magne, the second list administrator, to try to influence things at itea.ntnu.no while I'm gone. Some of you might get this e-mail, and some of you might not, I don't know. If some of you who receive this e-mail can respond to it, maybe we can gather enough clues as to what is wrong that the postmasters (or acting postmasters or whatever) at itea.ntnu.no can fix the problem. If not, the list may be defunct for the next 4 weeks :-( -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

How to add Cisco 6506 in MetaNAV
by davide＠wpweb.com 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

I just installed MetaNAV. I succesfully added catalyst 3550 device (after adding the proper OID in the type table). I cannot add a Cisco catalyst 6506: I added the type (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.45 ) but no modules are discovered from the device. # snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.10.101 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.3.1.1.17 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.5.1.3.1.1.17.1 = STRING: "WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.5.1.3.1.1.17.2 = STRING: "WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.5.1.3.1.1.17.3 = STRING: "WS-X6416-GBIC" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.5.1.3.1.1.17.4 = STRING: "WS-X6416-GBIC" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.5.1.3.1.1.17.5 = STRING: "WS-X6348-RJ-45" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.5.1.3.1.1.17.15 = STRING: "WS-F6K-MSFC2" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.5.1.3.1.1.17.16 = STRING: "WS-F6K-MSFC2" How can I add the above modules? Thanks in advance to anyone that can explain me how to add modules. Davide.

The reason for this is that it is quite impossible to create good generic config for servers in Cricket, and that the attempt NAV does spur a lot of errors . I strongly suggest that you make your own cricket-config for server statistics and remove the one present. To remove the existing config, delete the server-directory from $cricket/cricket-config, and edit the cricket-config/.nav-file (mind the dot) and remove servers from the dirs-variable. This will make sure the config will not be recreated. Then run compile from $cricket/cricket as navcron (sudo navcron ./compile). However, we are working on a new version of the script that makes cricket-config. This version will combine the advantages of the NAV-database and user-customization in a much better way than today. Both we and, I hope, our users look forward to this. :) Yours, -- John-Magne Bredal NTNU
