This is finally about to change: We are now hiring another full-time software engineer to join our NAV development team in Trondheim. If you are interested, or know of someone who might be, please see the full job ad here: http://www.uninett.no/en/job-opportunity-software-engineer-network-monitori… -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

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

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.
