Navtopology Difficulties and VLAN Bandwidth load
by William Daly - Network Specialist, VUSD Technology 30 Mai '18

30 Mai '18

Hello all, A little background: I have been running NAV 4.7.1 for quite some time now. Every time I have tried to upgrade to 4.8.4, things get a little weird. Layer 2 topologies are miss-detected and certain sites show up as completely isolated from the rest of our WAN. Netmap does not show any layer 3 topology at all. Also the IPAM tool will not allow me to enter subnets as NAV has already detected previous prefixes. So, today I decided to do a clean install of 4.8.4. I input only two sites of devices. The issue I now have is netmap does not show layer 2 topology of the two sites. I only see layer 3 of the two sites. We use HP procurve layer 3 switches. I still do not see any bandwidth loads for any given VLAN's. Is this a known issue with NAV and HP procurves? I have never been able to see bandwidth loads on any VLANs from 4.7.1 to 4.8.4. Thank you! William Daly Network Specialist Vacaville Unified School District (707) 453-6170

netmap and lag
by Zhi-Wei Lu 09 Mai '18

09 Mai '18

Hi NAV gurus, We have a very limited test envioronment for NAV, our environment are Foundry based (->Brocade-> Arris and Extreme now). We have enabled lldp on edge switches, but not on ALL upstream routers. Even on connections with lldp on, the map does not show LAG ports correctly, it seems. Is there a manual way to fix netmap problem for those it fails to correctly identify the connections? Thank you.

Sizing the NAV server
by Zhi-Wei Lu 09 Mai '18

09 Mai '18

Hi NAV gurus, I have been testing NAV on and off for a while with a fraction of our devices on a small VM. I like it more and more as I am getting used to it. I would like to get recommendation of a NAV setup that can handle our environment. Our network is layered like the following: Border Router: 2 Core and Area Router: ~30 Building Router: ~100 Edge Switch: ~1500 Shall we use one big server or multiple servers, physical or virtual for various NAV management components? What CPU, MEMORY, DISK IO, and DISK size shall we plan for? Thank you very much for your help. Zhi-Wei Lu IET-CR-Network Operations Center University of California, Davis (530) 752-0155

Interface graphs only showing in Graphite
by soren＠fab-it.dk 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hi list In my search for the missing link, I'm looking for a clue stick as to where my interface graphs disappear. I have installed Nav version 4.8.3 on Debian Stretch and currently monitoring two HP switches, ProCurve 2810 and 2910. The problem I have is in the "ranked statistics"-page, there is no interface traffic data in the graphs - instead I get a message: "No data was found for the given timeframe. This may indicate a problem with the data collection and/or presentation. Try choosing a longer timeframe to see when the problem started." But I do get graphs if I choose the "CPU highest average" - so SNMP apparently is working fine. When I access Graphite directly on port 8000 and traverse the tree Metrics-> nav-> devices-> ip-> port-> ifinOctets I am able to see a graph for that interface. What link between Nav and Graphite am I missing? Curiously I tried the shrink wrapped image on a VirtualBox and had the opposite problem. Monitoring another Procurve 2910 I only got traffic graphs and no "CPU highest average"-graphs. Kind regards Søren Aurehøj - Fab:IT

Re: Is that a healthy carbon cache?

I'm left with only two possible options: 1. You are losing UDP packets (as mentioned by the debugging guide) 2. You are in fact experiencing a cache saturation problem with carbon-cache, but it's somehow being masked by its reporting of negative cache numbers. I'd try a newer version of carbon-cache if I were you, to see if that helps. If you are indeed experiencing cache saturation, a non-buggy version might expose it properly and you can take the necessary steps - such as running multiple carbon-caches or storing your Whisper files on an SSD (although I'll add, as I've done before, that we are running carbon-cache 0.9.10 in production, as upgrading to 0.9.12 gave us abysmal performance, with cache saturation on almost every installation - so even downgrading might help). If all else fails, you should contact someone within the Graphite project. See [1] or try #graphite on Freenode. [1] https://graphiteapp.org/ -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT
