Layer 2 traffic map
by TristanRhodes＠weber.edu 21 Apr '05

21 Apr '05

I have been reading the information provided in the screenshots section. It appears that the traffic map is layer 3, and the network explorer is layer 2. Is there a way to graphically view the layer 2 information in network explorer? (Sadly, I have not been able to perform a successful installation of NAV.)

Apache configuration with NAV
by TristanRhodes＠weber.edu 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Morten, Thanks for finding that. I am trying to use that file in SLES. 1. cp /etc/apache2/httpd.conf /etc/apache2/http.conf.save 2. tuxdev:/etc/apache2 # rcapache2 configtest Syntax error on line 14 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory What should "ServerRoot" be set to? I guessed "/usr/share/apache2/". 3. tuxdev:/etc/apache2 # rcapache2 configtest Syntax error on line 226 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/share/apache2/modules/mod_python.so into server: /usr/share/apache2/modules/mod_python.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory tuxdev:/etc/apache2 # tuxdev:/etc/apache2 # locate mod_python.so /usr/lib/apache2/mod_python.so A problem loading the python module. Any ideas?

BoxDown 0 d, 00 h, 00 min

> I get many alert with BoxDown 0 d, 00 h, 00 min > Sysname IP From To Downtime boxState > XXXXX.hivolda.no 158.38.XX.XXX 02:54 18-03-05 02:55 18-03-05 > 0 d, 00 h, 00 min boxDown I believe this is due to some debug code that was unfortunately included in a beta release which sets the default wait time for event engine to a very low (5 seconds) value. You can fix this problem by uncommenting the line in eventEngine.conf which sets the alertTickLength (default is 60 seconds) and restart event engine. Note that there should not be a semicolon at the end of the line, so if there is one remove it. -- Kristian

Use SNMP::Info to manage device types?

We should also supply a Device Compatibility Matrix equivalent to the netdisco version (http://snmp-info.sourceforge.net/DeviceMatrix.html) An idea is to adopt a similar/elaborated classification, introduce a wiki page at metanav and have the nav community participate in testing and doumentation. This will be of great value to the community, it will be easy for new users to see what we support, easy for us to see where the current problems are, etc. > Creating a perl binding which focused on easy of development would solve this > problem, but it is of now uncertain if resources are available to implement > something like this. We will discuss it internally and announce any decision > this list. We should give this serious thought. We definitely need a mechansim which invites contributions from the community. I will internally (ntnu/uninett) suggest an intense equipment test program where we test variuos new equipment in a structured manner. In the process we should look at improving logging and in the end provide a cookbook / check list for how to test a new switch/router in NAV. A device can be supported in NAV on different levels: 1: basis: only status monitoring of the device. no information on ports (l2 or l3 ports) 2: information on ports but no vlan information. This also includes cricket/rrd statistics 3: physical topology detected. machine tracker capable 4: full topology: vlan information (trunk and none trunk ports) Variuos log files / web pages should be checked in the process from initial seeding in edit database untill you reach level 4. Worst- and bestcase timeframe should also be dedumentet - Vidar

Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9 install documentation?
by TristanRhodes＠weber.edu 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Morten, Thanks for putting together the NAV installation instructions for SLES. I have a few thoughts.... 1. Are there commands that can be used to install the long-list of Yast packages, or is the GUI required? (I am used to "apt-get install apache") 2. Regarding the manual package installations: Can any of these be installed with Yast? I noticed that IPy is installed manually, and it is in Yast. Is this due to a required version of IPy? (There may be other similar packages like IPy). 3. I have only recently discovered NAV, and I am very thankful for all the work that has been put into it. I am also very pleased that it has been released under the GPL license so that we can use it! Can I ask when NAV 3.0 is expected to be finished? (Q2, Q3, or Q4 2005?) Thanks!

Yes, thank you for reminding me (I had forgotten all about this). I will try to put something up by Friday. All testing and suggestions are welcome :-) - -- Morten Vold NTNU ITEA Integrasjonsgruppen

Is this possible in nav3? In nav3 you have multiple options here: 1) You can adjust your alert profile to suppress alarms from the netbox in question. This solves the problem for you, not for everybody. You may alse do this suppression based on severity. We have a default severity scheme in place, depending on the box in question this may help you. 2) You can put set the device on maintenance. Use the messages tool, select the maintenance tab. Select the netbox and attach a message to this. This options stops all monitoring of the device for the time period you specify. 3) You may adjust timers in pping and/or event engine, see pping.conf, eventEngine.conf (maybe Kristian can elaborate here). Please note that these adjustments are on a "global" basis. - Vidar
