Announcement: NAV 4.5.3 released
by Morten Brekkevold 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

The third maintenance release of the NAV 4.5 series is now out. The source code is available for download at Launchpad [1]. A new package for Debian Jessie has been published in our APT repository [2] as usual (and the virtual appliance is being updated). Changes ======= The following reported bugs have been fixed: * LP#1592747 (Cisco chassis serial number decoding report should include modules as well) * LP#1597666 (No data collected on some Comet web probes) * LP#1608869 (graph widget does not update) * LP#1608920 (make graph widget time controls optional) * LP#1619136 (Specifying both starttime and endtime values crashes the arp API endpoint) * LP#1619138 (Searching for IP addresses in the arp API endpoint is horribly inefficient) The fix for LP#1619138 also entails that searching for IP prefixes is also possible on the `arp` API endpoint.

NAV and API exports
by Mischa Diehm 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hi, We are programming an inventory tool that uses NAV as one of its main datasources. We are now trying to get the Serial (lots of cisco here) for a given device. In the ipdevinfo overview we see the serial (for stacks there are even the stackmembers with serials listed). My questions is if we there is a way to get this information through the API and if yes how we could retrieve it? My second questions is if there is an easy documented way to extend the API with stuff like that or e.g. Status info like „is the box currently online“? Is there a roadmap towards what should and will be implemented regarding the exporsure through the API (maybe even write stuff?) Thanks a lot, Mischa -- Mischa Diehm | Network Team (NINS) UniBasel | IT-Services (ITS) Klingebergstr. 70 | CH-4056 Basel Tel. +41 61 267 1574 | https://its.unibas.ch
