no such checker: oracle ?
by Stokkenes Vidar 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hello, As I've recently managed to set up my Siemens SMS gateway properly with the latest gammu, I want to make a profile to monitor our Oracle cluster with NAV and send a notification when its down. While adding the premade "oracle" service to a server (SRV) object, "servicemon" gives me the following error in servicemon.log: [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle [2008-07-31 15:06:38] db.py:getCheckers:226 [Critical] no such checker: oracle This kinda tells me that the premade service called "oracle" is either defunct or just a limbo... But why is it in the list when it doesn't seem to be working? And how can I "recreate" this service in NAV? (I know which ports to probe, etc) I tried to look around with"find" and "locate", but I can't seem to find the location where I can add/edit these premade services (http/https/ssh/dc/oracle/dns, etc) Any help would be appreciated! ------------------------------------------------------ Vidar Stokkenes Konsulent Nettverk Seksjon for nettverk og telekom HN IKT - Tromsø Tlf: 76 16 61 87 / 77 66 99 55 Mobil: 95 87 99 42 e-post: vidar.stokkenes(a)hn-ikt.no<mailto:vidar.stokkenes@hn-ikt.no> [cid:image001.png@01C8F31F.82A227E0]

NAV and firewalls
by Fredrik Holmberg 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hi everyone, Testing NAV (3.4.0) in a LAN environment where there are no internal/managed routers (managed by ISP), only firewalls (Check Point NGX R61) connecting the subnets. What is considered best practice when adding these devices in NAV? Can all the features be available in such a LAN setup (prefix matrix report, netmap/traffic map, "connected to" column in switch port report, machine tracker etc.)? The rest of the networking equipment (switches, servers) is up and running. Kind regards, Fredrik Holmberg

Some questions about Edit Database
by Christian Baensch 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hello, we´re actually testing your magnificant nms and we´ve some questions about "Edit Database" a) Is it possible to add/edit the default categories for the ip devices; e.g. "category=gsw" or "category=wlan" b) Is it possible to change the "Function" description of an aviable ip device; e.g. Funcion=Network Thanks in advance and with kind regards from germany!!

SQL errors in NAV 3.4
by Morten Brekkevold 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

Hello everyone, While testing Werner's upcoming Debian package of NAV 3.4.1, we discovered some bugs in the SQL scripts that initialize the NAV database, see [1] for details. Two of the problems described in [1] will affect anyone who has initialized a new NAV database while installing NAV 3.4.0 or 3.4.1 from scratch. These two problems are potentially serious if you value the correctness of your machine tracker data. Whenever your delete an IP Device from NAV, there are two database rules making sure that every machine tracker entry related to this IP Device is closed. If you are affected, these rules will not have been defined, and all open records related to an IP Device will stay open as the device is deleted. The third problem is relatively minor. It only affects those who have initialized the NAV database on PostgreSQL 8.3 or newer. When a service check is deleted, a database rule removes NAV's knowledge of the service response time RRD file. Other parts of NAV will automatically remove this when it sees the file has gone 30 days without being updated. To summarize: If you upgraded to NAV 3.4 from an older version, and you do not run PostgreSQL 8.3 or newer, you do not need to take any action. If you are affected by the above problems, you can either wait for NAV 3.4.2, which we hope to release shortly, or you can apply the attached, short SQL script in your NAV manage database (using psql). [1] http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=2023345 -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT /* * * This SQL script is designed to upgrade your NAV database from * version 3.4.0 or 3.4.1 to 3.4.2. * * This script is only necessary if either: * * 1. You installed NAV 3.4 from scratch, creating a new database. * * or * * 2.

NAV and HP ProCurve Switches
by Stokkenes Vidar 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hello, This might be a stupid question, but can someone with HP ProCurve equipment please guide me through the progress of getting them to work with NAV? I've added the device (HP Procurve 2824) in the database, but NAV doesn't seem to be pulling port info from the switch. The switchview shows it's been polled, but there is no "portview" on the polled switch. Any ideas? Any input is appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------ Vidar Stokkenes Konsulent Nettverk Seksjon for nettverk og telekom HN IKT - Tromsø Tlf: 76 16 61 87 / 77 66 99 55 Mobil: 95 87 99 42 e-post: vidar.stokkenes(a)hn-ikt.no<mailto:vidar.stokkenes@hn-ikt.no> [cid:image001.png@01C8D6C3.7182BF60]
