A new package for Debian Wheezy has been published in our APT repository [2], as usual. Changes ======= Important note: This release adds commas to the list of characters escaped in Graphite metric names, which may change the name used for some of your existing metrics after an upgrade.

How to speed up Geomap?
by Ingeborg Hellemo 04 Des '14

04 Des '14

The transition from NAV 3.15 to 4.X has made Geomap incredibly slow. If I change zoom-level it takes several (four) minutes before new dots and lines show up. I guess this has to do with graphite's webserver not being able to deliver data fast enough (5000 lines of "POST /render/ HTTP/1.1" 200 XXX "-" "Python-urllib/2.7" in httpd-access.log) . The httpd process runs at 100% WCPU Is there something I can tune to make Geomap usable again? --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

Announcement: NAV 4.2.1 released
by Morten Brekkevold 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

The first maintenance release of the NAV 4.2 series is now available. The source code is available for download at Launchpad [1]. A new package for Debian Wheezy has been published in our APT repository [2], as usual. Changes ======= The following reported issues have been fixed: * LP#1395710 (api token can not be refreshed from the api) * LP#1396514 (Status tool in NAV 4.2 shows no events if API call returns a 500 error) * LP#1396516 (Status API in NAV 4.2 crashes when there are old deviant alerts present) * LP#1396517 (Status tool makes hyperlinks out of alert subjects that have no defined URL) * LP#1396531 (logengine spams the error message "KeyError: 'LINK'") * LP#1396914 (netmap filter on location excludes links) In the NAV 4.2.0 release announcement and changelog, four bugfixes were omitted by accident, because they had originally been committed to the 4.1.x release branch. The changelog has been updated. These were the bugfixes in question: * LP#1385121 ("Add graph to dashboard" does nothing under certain Apache configurations) * LP#1386716 (Maintenance task with no end time displays incorrectly in edit form) * LP#1389121 (when searching for an ip-address with space in it, NAV crashes) * LP#1389145 (Netbiostracker crash on unparseable MAC Address) Please refer to the release notes [3] for further information on upgrading.

NAV 4.2 empty status page
by Ingeborg Hellemo 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

We have just moved our NAV 4.2-box from test to production and with real use the bugs start popping up. One user will not see any Events on his status page, even though he has chosen all possible Event types. The user is even "NAV administrator" How to debug this? We know there are events to be seen and the handful of other users I have tested as will see events as expected. --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

Additional SNMP Polling through NAV
by jch＠raytheon.com 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

I am really new to NAV, but I've liked it so far in my lab testing. I do have some routers whose CPU utilization is not showing up, and I would like to poll some non-standard OIDs (like IP SLA metrics) even if NAV won't display them. I could use graphite to do that for me separately, but utilize the engine that NAV provides. Could someone point me to where I might need to go to do that? Is there an OID somewhere that could be added or updated to support newer router CPU metrics, so that my Cisco ISR-G2 routers will have that displayed? How can I customize the polling of some devices (mostly Cisco routers) to get additional metrics? I have not found where I can modify or add scripts to do this and need some general pointers on where to look on the internet as well as on the system. Since this is just a lab environment, I have all the NAV components on one server. Thanks, Joel
