question about prefix
by Rene Romijn 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Hi, Question, if I go to report/prefix I see all my networks and subnetworks and also a nice number of active ip addresses. I remember in de the past that when I clicked on the number of active ip addresses I got the list of all individual ip's. Now I got the main page of the machine tracker with the error message "this field is required". Is it somehow possible that it does give the list at once when you click the number? Regards, René

Hi, I have installed NAV 3.11.3 debian package on squeeze 64-bit. One of the router interfaces on gw had encoutered this error when i try to view the octet data on cricket. Log file in /var/log/apache2/error.log had this error.

Debian package nav init sequence makes nav start before postgresql
by Roger Aas 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Hi, I have a request for change for the init configuration for the NAV Debian package. Problem: When the nav server starts some nav modules fail to start up because the nav init script makes nav start before the postgresql database has started. Under /etc/rc2.d/ (2 is default run level on my machine) the nav script is named S03nav and the postgresql script is named S03postgresql. Since init starts the scripts first numerically (same numbers can be started concurrently I think), then alphabetically it means nav will start a little before postgresql making some nav modules fail to start because they can not contact the database. Editing the script /etc/init.d/nav and adding postgresql to the end of the Required-Start and Required-Stop lines, then running the command "update-rc.d nav defaults" fixes this. The lines will look then like this: # Required-Start: $local_fs $named $network $remote_fs $syslog $time postgresql # Required-Stop: $local_fs $named $network $remote_fs $syslog $time postgresql Best regards, Roger Aas Atea AS

GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch
by Rene Romijn 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi, Maybe a stupid question, but we have several type of switches/routers in our network, nav does a good job with recognizing the hp and cisco ports. But we also have some Gbe2c switches, they are sold by hp but the original is from another branche (wich I forgot). Nav does see the type of switch but it doesn't see the individual switch ports. I would realy like to see that nav/cricket also keeps track of those switchports. Kind regards, Rene.

Where do mcc.py get its data from
by Ingeborg Hellemo 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

NAV 3.10.1 We have several (but not all) routers and switches where cricket try to collect data fram OIDs the devices doesn't know anything about. I fail to find any similarities in type of device or OS-version between the devices. For a switch the offending lines in switches/navTargetTypes looks like this: targetType brusS101-sw.infra.uit.no ds = "c1900Bandwidth, c1900Bandwidth, c1900BandwidthMax, c1900BandwidthMax, mem5minFree, mem5minFree, mem5minUsed, mem5minUsed, sysUpTime, sysUpTime, c2900Bandwidth, c2900Bandwidth, c5000Bandwidth, c5000Bandwidth, c5000BandwidthMax, c5000BandwidthMax, cpu1min, cpu1min, cpu5min, cpu5min, hpcpu, hpcpu, hpmem5minFree, hpmem5minFree, hpmem5minUsed, hpmem5minUsed" view = "bandwidth: c1900Bandwidth c1900BandwidthMax c2900Bandwidth c5000Bandwidth c5000BandwidthMax, cpu: cpu1min cpu5min hpcpu, memory: hpmem5minFree hpmem5minUsed mem5minFree mem5minUsed, sysuptime: sysUpTime" Note that it tries to collect both c1900Bandwidth, c2900Bandwidth and c5000Bandwidth When I check the device via https://nav.example.com/report/netboxsnmpoid?netbox id=## I don't find any OIDs relating to Bandwidth at all. For Cisco routers the offending OID is hpcpu and hpmem*. targetType kulth-gsw.infra.uit.no ds = "c5000Bandwidth, c5000BandwidthMax, cpu1min, cpu5min, hpcpu, hpmem5minFree, hpmem5minUsed, mem5minFree, mem5minUsed, sysUpTime" view = "bandwidth: c5000Bandwidth c5000BandwidthMax, cpu: cpu1min cpu5min hpcpu, memory: hpmem5minFree hpmem5minUsed mem5minFree mem5minUsed, sysuptime: sysUpTime" Any ideas why mcc.py puts them in? --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

Geomap has gone blank since the end of February
by Morten Brekkevold 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

It has been brought to our attention that NAV's Geomap has recently gone blank. Apparently, this is because OpenStreetMap has pulled their support for the Osmarender layer, which is one of the two OSM layers initialized and used by Geomap (the other being Mapnik). A post [1] on the OSM-dev list explains what has happened. As a response, we've removed the Osmarender layer from Geomap; this will be effective from the NAV 3.11.1 release, but if you wish to patch your current NAV installation to enable Geomap again, the patch is available at [2].

Announcement: NAV 3.11.0 and 3.10.4 released
by Morten Brekkevold 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

The newest feature release of NAV, version 3.11.0, is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.11/3.11.0 The (hopefully) last bugfix release of the 3.10 series is also available at https://launchpad.net/nav/3.10/3.10.4 Both releases include a fix for the following embarrassing issue: * LP#947080 (Netbox attributes aren't updated when modules are found) The 3.11.0 release adds the following user-visible features and improvements: * LLDP support for improved topology detection. * getBoksMacs replaced by ipdevpoll plugins in `topo` job (i.e. fewer Java dependencies) * Q-BRIDGE-MIB now also used when collecting switch forwarding tables, meaning improved machine tracking data for switch vendors like HP, Juniper and Alcatel. * The Machine Tracker's IP search form has consolidated the `To` and `From` IP address search fields into a single `IP Range` search field with extended search syntax for ranges of IP addresses. See LP#643544 for details. * ipdevpoll can now be made to run single job configurations from ipdevpoll.conf, to run in the foreground, and to log to stderr instead of its log file. * ipdevpoll will reset its log levels from logging.conf upon receiving a SIGHUP signal. * ipdevpoll will log the currently active polling jobs upon receiving a SIGUSR1 signal. Don't forget to check out the release notes before/during/after upgrading to NAV 3.11.
