Announcement: NAV 4.0 beta 3 released
by Morten Brekkevold 06 Feb '14

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). As usual, please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug . Happy NAVing everyone! -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT AS

The NAV Blog
by Morten Brekkevold 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hi all, we thought we should do as everybody else on the Internet, so this week we launched our own NAV blog. As NAV developers, we hope to blog about what we're working on behind the scenes, be it either related to network management or software development, but it will always be related to our work on NAV. Our first entry is up on http://blog.nav.uninett.no/ - have a read :-) -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

Announcement: NAV 4.0 beta 2 released
by Morten Brekkevold 09 Jan '14

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". As usual, please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug . Happy NAVing everyone! [1] https://nav.uninett.no/doc/4.0/howto/migrate-rrd-to-graphite.html -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT AS

Start automatically NAV services
by Orzakiewicz Cedric 20 Des '13

20 Des '13

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!
