These prefixes will have the attribute vlan.nettype='elink'. The network map will not show these external connections on the top level by default. You have to do the following: manage=# UPDATE vp_netbox_grp_info SET hideicons='f' WHERE name='_Top' ; Please note that hiding external connections can only be done on the top level.

I think it has to do with the web_access privilieges for vlanPlot|navAdmin because I don't have a Move and Save button (any longer..).

Bug-report

Helo. I've got a couple of question regarding alerts in NAV (3.0.0). 1. Is the alertq table suppose to just increase and increase? manage=> select count(*) from alertq; count ------- 22726 (1 row) I could be wrong (I probably am), but if its not suppose to increase, my guess is this is why : => /usr/local/nav/lib/perl/NAV/AlertEngine/Alert.pm, line 233 sub delete() #deletes alert from db { my $this=shift; if(!$this->{queued}) { $this->{log}->printlog("Alert","delete",$Log::debugging, "deleted alertqid=$this->{id}"); #$this->{dbh}->do("delete from alertq where alertqid=$this->{id}"); } } ---------------------------------------------- 2. Some alerts are missing sysname in the alerts. It shows netbox.deviceid instead of netbox.sysname. This is very confusing for IT-guys at our facultys thats using NAV for receiving alerts regarding equipment at their location. I.e : manage=> select * from alerthistmsg where alerthistid = '16292'; alerthistid | state | msgtype | language | msg -------------+-------+---------+----------+---------------------------------------------- 16292 | x | sms | no | HW Ver endret: 1009 V01 A0 16292 | x | sms | en | HW Ver changed: 1009 V01 A0 16292 | x | email | en | Subject: Hardware version changed for (1009) This is an automatically generated message from NAV: Hardware version changed to: A0 from: V01 16292 | x | email | no | Subject: Hardware versjon endret for (1009) Dette er en automatisk generert melding fra NAV: Hardware versjon endret til: A0 fra: V01 (4 rows) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3. DNS mismatch alerts are "wrong". I.e : manage=> select * from alerthistmsg where alerthistid = 204; 204 | x | email | en | Subject: DNS Mismatch (xxyyzz.uio.no) This is an automatically generated message from NAV: xxyyzz.uio.no does not match xxyyzz.uio.no 204 | x | email | no | Subject: DNS ikke i samsvar (xxyyzz.uio.no) Dette er en automatisk generert melding fra NAV: xxyyzz.uio.no matcher ikke xxyyzz.uio.no (2 rows) It should say "'hostname from switch' does not match DNSname" i guess.. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. Why are alerts like the example in '3.' coming? We get them from ALOT of devices every 6. hour.. These are more or less only Cisco Catalyst devices, if thats of importance. By the way. I've made a perl-deamon that controlls that all of NAVs internal and external onces are running, and reports by mail and/or sms if something is wrong. Version two will try to restart dead processes as well. If anybody wants it, just drop me an email. -Asbj?rn- >From kreide at gmail.com Thu Apr 20 02:49:13 2006 From: kreide at gmail.com (Kristian Eide) Date: Thu Apr 20 10:49:20 2006 Subject: [Nav-users] Bug-report In-Reply-To: <Pine.SOL.4.63-L.0604200956050.24757(a)saruman.uio.no> References: <Pine.SOL.4.63-L.0604200956050.24757(a)saruman.uio.no> Message-ID: <b4c110fd0604200149s17d27715n735e061540864ff6(a)mail.gmail.com> > 1.

I believe this is due to a string compare being case sensitive when it should be not, and that has been fixed in the svn tree (and will thus be part of the next version of nav if you do not want to compile yourself). > By the way.

I think NTP would not normally adjust the system time in as large steps as 10 seconds, but I guess that depends on how you configure your NTP daemon. Anyway, the fact that the RRD file was not updated should not interfere with the actual dispatch of the serviceUp event. Are there more of these RRD errors in your log file? Does the log indicate when the SSH service was detected to be down, and whether it was detected up again? > But how can I correct this problem or is the problem somewhere else?

Modules up and down
by odd.hauge＠hiMolde.no 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Hi. I have two Cisco 7206 routers in my network. According to Nav the modules in these routers continuously goes up and down. Each module is almost always declared as down in 5 hours, then it's declared as up again for one hour, before it's declared as down again.. Of course the modules are up all the time. I have tried to delete the routers from Nav and add them again, I have tried different ip-addresses (yes, the loopback address to) without any success. Any suggestion anyone ? - odd arne hauge

Interfaces descriptions

Good day! I've read guidelines for interfaces descriptions at http://metanav.ntnu.no/moin.cgi/SubnetsAndVlans , but still have some questions: 1) Does this URL is up to date (I'm using 3401 revision of NAV)? 2) Which way should I configure descriptions for switchports and router interfaces without ip addresses (trunk interfaces)? 3) Does NAV tracks interface description changes, or only when deleting/adding IP device to database?
