Announcement: NAV 3.8.0 released
by Morten Brekkevold 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

NAV 3.8.0 is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.8/3.8.0 This is a feature release, which includes the following changes: User-visible features and improvements: * The database schema can now be kept updated automatically using the new `syncdb.py` program. Please see the `NOTES` file, and run the program as soon as you've upgraded. * NAV can now configure descriptions and access VLANs on your switch ports when an SNMP write community is set for a switch. This functionality is accessible through the IP Device Info tool. * SeedDB has been rewritten to use the Django framework (and has subsequently been reduced from nearly 5000 lines of spaghetti code to just below 2000 maintainable lines). * The number of concurrent ipdevpoll jobs can now be limited on a per-job basis, to ease the load on your system if so desired. See the annotated `ipdevpoll.conf` file. Bugfixes: * LP#643550 (Include ipdevinfo links in switch search in machine tracker) * LP#545029 (SmbChecker runs out of available file descriptors) Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug :-) A binary package for Debian 5 (Lenny) will be made available as soon as possible.

What does "Traffic in on switchports" show?
by Lars Kulseng 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hi I use NAV to, among other things, produce a monthly report about the usage statistics in our network. For this I use Statistics -> "Traffic in on switchports" + "Last Month". What does the resulting view show? Is it the average amount of traffic over the last month, or is it the total, or something else? I can't quite make the numbers add up on the different switch ports.

Link surveillance with NAV
by Sigurd Mytting 17 Des '10

17 Des '10

Hi! Wondering how other NAV'ers are doing link surveillance? I'm mostly interested in downed routing-ports, but also normal switch-ports, both host-access and switch-trunks, could of interest. Any input is appreciated! Cheers, -Sigurd

Cricket trouble/optimizing
by Sigurd Mytting 17 Des '10

17 Des '10

Hi! Running NAV 3.7.0 on Debian 5-64-bit, about 700 switches and routers currently in NAV. There has been a lot of weird stuff (trouble) happening with Cricket after going from the latest in the 3.5-series up to 3.7, some things got better from 3.6 to 3.7, but not all is perfect. Not complaining, just a summary from my point of view over the last months of releases. About a week ago my Cricket graphs just stopped and after some debugging I found the Cricket-cronjob run as navcron dies after a while and leaves a lock-file, cleaning it up and doing some optimizing (separating switch and router interfaces, and system values into separate cronjobs) I found the cronjobs still dies and leaves lock-files. First of all; anyone else seeing the Cricket collector dying? (In my case just about on every run.) Second; Anyone have a good tip on how to tune Cricket to run a sensible number of jobs to get thru it all in a sensible amount of time? Currently, if the largest job (switch interfaces) don't die after only a few minutes it usually runs for 25-30 minutes. NAV in my environment isn't really a production system, but my pet-project provides more accurate and sensible information than any system we have in production so I'll hang on to it as long as I can. Any input appreciated! Cheers, -Sigurd

Trouble with NAV 3.70 ,NFSEN on Debian 5
by Tore Willmar Jakobsen 17 Des '10

17 Des '10

Hi, I have installed Debian 5-64 bit on a virtual machine. On top of that NAV 3.7.0 is installed , also NFSEN 1.3-5 and NFDUMP 1.6.1p1 Everything work as expected , but not graphs is generated through Cricket 1.0.5-9 The logs show errors from NfSenRRD.pm : Unable to create graph, no such file or directory. The graph windows in Nav is displayed , but no data is available visually. After googling a lot of users see the same problems as I have experienced. They all have downgraded lots of libraries in Perl and Cricket. Anyone done this setup with success on Debian 5. Solution is highly appreciated [cid:image001.jpg@01CB96B8.C14ED8F0] Tore Willmar Jakobsen Chief Consultant / Sjefskonsulent - Datarom Wintel Mobile: +47 99 27 98 81 tore.willmar.jakobsen(a)atea.no<mailto:marit.garvik@atea.no> Atea AS, Jåttåvågveien 7 4020 Stavanger Switchboard: +47 22 09 50 00 www.atea.no<http://www.atea.no/> P Before printing, think about the environment
