Announcement: NAV 5.11.0 released
by Morten Brekkevold 03 Okt '24

03 Okt '24

The first feature release of the 5.11 series of NAV is now out! The source code is available for download at GitHub [1]. New packages for 11 (Bullseye) are available in our APT repository as usual. We haven't started building packages for Debian 12 (Bookworm) yet, as NAV does not yet support running under Python 3.11. Please be extra aware of config file changes. Look out for `*.dpkg-dist` files in `/etc/nav` and make sure to update your running config. Removed ======= - Dropped support for Python 3.7 (#2790) Added ===== - Post lifecycle event when power supplies or fans are removed (#2982) - Post lifecycle event when a module or chassis is deleted via the status or device history tools (#2983) - Database model for representing Organizationally Unique Identifiers (OUI) to identify vendors for MAC addresses - Script for populating database with OUIs and corresponding vendors from IEEE (#2945) - Module for generating JWTs (#2948) - Documentation for configuring and using JWT tokens in NAV API (#2618) Changed ======= - Upgraded dependencies after dropping support for Python 3.7 (#2790) - Changed Sphinx version to 7.4.7 (#2826) - Changed required PostgreSQL version to 13 (#2892) - Moved the test suite's web crawler complexity away from the test discovery phase to the test phase itself. This reduces the number of generated test cases from N to 2 (where N is the number of reachable NAV pages) (#2966) - Link to the doc for using docker for development from the README and mention what ports are used when using docker for development (#2978) - Many user-facing forms of the web user interface have been refactored in order to remove a dependency that keeps NAV incompatible with Python 3.11. This should not affect looks or functionality. This work is still ongoing in the master branch and we hope it will be complete by NAV version 5.12. Fixed ===== - Correctly delete an IP Device's existing function value when empty field value is submitted in the IP Device IP Device edit form (#2269) - Fixed crash bug when reordering filters within a filter group in Alert Profiles (#2979) - Fixed IPAM API crash bug that caused unnecessary error reports sent as e-mail to site admins (#2989) - Fixed bad tooltip grammar in ipdevinfo "degraded aggregate link" badge - Make the test suite easier to run under MacOS - Skip tests when 3rd party requirements are missing, instead of outright failing Security ======== - Ensure that CSRF token info is preserved when refactoring crispy forms to non-crispy equivalents. This means that flat_form.html and _form_content.html templates will include CSRF token info if form method is set to POST. (#3056) Release notes ============= We always advise you to have a look at NAV's accompanying release notes [3] before upgrading. Happy NAVing everyone!

Performance questions and weathermap
by Manuel Marín 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Dear NAV community We are looking for a network monitoring platform as a replacement to cacti/weathermap and I was wondering if there is information about performance/hardware requirement for a network with ~20K networks devices. Can NAV support this number of devices? It would be great if someone can share their experiences running NAV with large networks. Thank you!

Announcement: NAV 5.10.2 released
by Morten Brekkevold 03 Jun '24

03 Jun '24

The second maintenance release of the 5.10 series of NAV is now out! The source code is available for download at GitHub [1]. New packages for Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye) are available in our APT repository [2] as usual. We haven't started building packages for Debian 12 (Bookworm) yet, as NAV does not yet support running under Python 3.11. Do note that 5.10 is the **last series we will package for Debian 10** (not 11, as previous announcements read), as NAV 5.11 will drop support for Python versions older than 3.9. Please be extra aware of config file changes. Look out for `*.dpkg-dist` files in `/etc/nav` and make sure to update your running config. Changed ======= - snmptrapd renamed to navtrapd to avoid naming conflicts with Net-SNMP programs (#2926) Fixed ===== - Replace incorrect fix for premature ARP record closure introduced in 5.10.1 (#2910) Release notes ============= We always advise you to have a look at NAV's accompanying release notes [3] before upgrading.

navtopology is already running
by Ingeborg Hellemo 21 Mai '24

21 Mai '24

NAV 5.9.1 Suddenly, since yesterday, a lot (but not all) of the navtopology cron jobs sends an email with "navtopology is already running" An example: /var/log/cron Apr 30 09:35:00 <hostname> /usr/sbin/cron[69867]: (navcron) CMD (navtopology --l2 --vlan) 10 minutes later an email arrives Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2024 09:43:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: Cron <navcron@bjarne> navtopology --l2 --vlan navtopology is already running (69867) What can trigger this error? var/log/navtopology shows that the job runs as usual. (Last lines in the run is "deleting unused prefixes/vlans") The one thing that changed before this error turned up is that the server running NAV was moved behind Cisco ACI and a (application centric) firewall. --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

Closing down our IRC channel
by Morten Brekkevold 13 Mai '24

13 Mai '24

Hi everyone! We regret to inform you all that we will be closing NAV's official IRC channel on Libera.Chat by the end of this week. The IRC channel has seen very little activity these last few years, and it's harder to have the younger engineers on our team engage in IRC as a community tool. It seems I'm the only one from our team hanging around the channel, so by "closing" we really mean that I will stop paying attention to the channel, and the navbot will be taken down. Given the activity level of the IRC channel, we don't think anyone will miss it much. Going forward, we encourage you to use the discussion boards on GitHub [1] as a replacement, or just keep using this mailing list :) [1] https://github.com/Uninett/nav/discussions -- Sincerely, Morten Brekkevold Sikt – Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research

Hello Klaus, have you resolved portadmin VLAN management on CBS Cisco switches? I have 4 CBS350 switches and I can't manage VLAN configuration from NAV. Davide
