Announcement: NAV 3.5.5 released
by Morten Brekkevold 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

NAV 3.5.5 is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.5/3.5.5 This release fixes 17 bugs in NAV 3.5. The log of all changes to the 3.5 series is attached to this message. A binary package for Debian 4 and 5 (Etch and Lenny) will be made available as soon as possible. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on commission From UNINETT. At the same time I would like to apologize for lack of responses to mailing list posts the last few months. We were hoping to have NAV 3.6 ready by now, but everything has been delayed due to the fact that I was away from work for more than two months (beginning around 20th November). Happy NAVing everyone! -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

Jabber dispatcher clogs the whole alertqueue
by Ingeborg Hellemo 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

We have used the jabber dispatcher since december. We soon discovered that our XMPP-server implementation (Openfire) sometimes freeze. It does not crash completely, but takes forever to answer connections. When this freeze happens and NAV tries to send an alert via jabber, the whole alertqueue clogs up and no alerts gets sent at all - no email, no sms, nothing. When the jabber-daemon is restarted all the backed up alerts are sent right away. (This of course happened during the holidays and we have disabled the jabber dispatcher ever since.) Is it possible to add a timeout or something to jabber_dispatcher.py to prevent this to happen? --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø

Observing Voice VLAN enabled ports?
by Stokkenes Vidar 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone have found a way to use NAV to see if a certain port is voice vlan enabled? I submitted a LP ticket about this quite some time back, but I didn't receive a reply or any feedback on it (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav/+bug/362233) Typically we have VoIP-people dropping by our office asking "Is Port44 on switch-2.hostname.com voice enabled, and which voice vlan?" I thought maybe IP Device Info would show this in forms of another vlan, but it doesn't. It would be to great value for us atleast :-) ------------------------------------------------------ Vidar Stokkenes

Module mapping problems
by Geir Inge Jensen 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hi, I thought I should give NAV a tryout in a large service provider network. After some initial problems fetching the device information for some devices (had to remove the OSPF oid) I was finally up and running. I had to add all my device types but that was easily done (I have mostly Cisco 7600 and 7300 series devices). However, NAV has a huge problem trying to figure out which module each port belongs to (especially the 10Gb ports). Attached is a device info screen grab of one of my modules (module 5), and as you can see NAV things the module has ports from module 1, 2, 4 (and 5) as well as loopbacks and vlans. Other parts of NAV seems to get things correct (the explorer) however because of these problems they can't detect where the port connects to (link type "none"). Which sadly makes NAV useless. Is there a way I can fix this? Whenever the device info is able to pinpoint which module the port belongs to it is also able to detect the device the port connects to (including the 10Gb ports). However, that seems to be the exception and not the rule. FYI, the screen grab is from a 7609 running SRD1. Regards, Geir Inge Jensen

Hi, Something must have stopped over night as I have gaps in cricket graphs and all lines in netmap have gone grey. Im not sure if this has was the case at previous nights. Im using the lenny-test packages on Debian Lenny. Running "/usr/share/cricket/collect-subtrees normal" as navcron I get these messages: --- snip --- Error and the lines leading up to it: [06-Jan-2010 11:45:17 ] Retrieved data for 10.0.20.2 (): 0,0,45486572,20045736,17856320 [06-Jan-2010 11:45:17 ] Retrieved data for 10.7.0.11 (): 0,0,0,0,48601868,6105112,2442848594 [06-Jan-2010 11:45:18 ] Retrieved data for 10.7.0.9 (): 9,8,81827916,35395284,1346517318,26 Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/share/cricket/collector line 274.

installation on ubuntu 9.04
by vvatikiotis＠gmail.com 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Hello all, I'm trying to install nav on ubuntu 9.04 and this fails cause of 2 (only 2) dependency failures. a) python < 2.5. 9.04 has python 2.6. b) postgress = 8.1. Ubuntu has postgres 8.3 Is it necessary to pin these 2 dependency versions ? I have knowledge of python but I'd assume that 2.6 is good enough against 2.5 source code. Same goes for postgres Correct me if I'm wrong. In the mean time I'l try to force install nav. btw, seems VERY promising. thx all vassilis

Hello all I have an issue with SW boxes, and nav/cricket tryes to collection data from an not existing oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.1 We use Catalyst 3560E switches as core building switches, and therefor I want to put them in SW mode for having them on the netmap. Does anyone know where I set that I do not want that OID polled on a 3560 switch ? -- Regards; Jan I.

Possible maintainers of a Redhat/EPEL NAV package
by Stokkenes Vidar 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hello everyone, This is probably a very delicate request, so I'll try to keep myself short. Due to our companys policies, we are trying to run everything in production on Redhat Linux servers. This is a problem when it comes to NAV, as the maintainer of the old Redhat RPM package is MIA, and no one else have really stepped forward to continue his work. I am aware of that compiling NAV from source is a viable option for someone, but considering I'm a repository maniac I would like to see Redhat on a somewhat "public" Redhat repository. We are currently undermanned and don't really have time to develop or maintain the package ourselves. However we do have resources to hire an external consulant to make the package for us. So therefor I am wondering. Lets say we hire someone to get NAV packed for Redhat Linux and submit it to EPEL, are there anyone more RPM/EPEL experienced than me who are interested in maintaining and committing new changes to the package? I've already contacted consulants at (Linpro) Redpill and gotten a time/cost estimate to develop the package. Now I just need someone volunteers to maintain the package once it's been initially set up (preferably people with commit access on EPEL) Any help or inputs would be appreciated!
