I'm sorry to say that the syslog analyzer is an ill conceived subsystem of NAV, and it is debated whether it belongs there or not. The developer that wrote it no longer works on the project, and hardly anyone I know of cares to use it (most sysadmins I know prefer to grep the log files manually). With regards to your actual question, I have no idea about the required format. Cisco equipment at NTNU still logs to our NAV 2 installation, and the syslog analyzer har been rewritten from scratch in NAV 3. - From what I can see, our logs look something like this: Jan 13 11:03:48 <router_name> 370245: Jan 13 11:03:52: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list vlan18out denied udp <ip1>(50186) -> <ip2>(427), 1 packet What I do know, is that your logger.conf must point to the actual log file to pick up the log lines from. The default is /usr/local/nav/var/log/cisco.log, which means your syslog daemon must be configured to write log entries from external hosts to this file (or configure a different file name). The logengine cron job runs every minute to dump new entries from this file into the database.

A netbox is a device that has been assigned an IP address and is monitored by NAV (in the user interface, a netbox is usually referred to as an IP Device). The only reason I can think of why this is happening on your installation, is that two netboxes on your network are reporting the same serial number when queried by SNMP (I have actually seen this happen on a couple of boxes here at NTNU). Before we consider the alternative scenario (NAV bug), I would like you to retrieve information about the device with id 4177: SELECT * FROM device WHERE deviceid=4177 (censor any data you don't want to go public with). Then, attempt to retrieve the serial number by snmpget/walk from the three IP addresses in question. - -- Morten Vold, ITEA, NTNU -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDx3cLXxIl0kpcOkQRAh7KAKDoyPyy43kpt/osENSvBzlVC8wD3gCgkQoE eGPw1TlOehjWsUdOxaZIMGA= =4yhd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >From woj at tstd.pl Fri Jan 13 10:46:23 2006 From: woj at tstd.pl (Wojciech Kozicki) Date: Fri Jan 13 10:46:50 2006 Subject: [Nav-users] Alcatel devices In-Reply-To: <200601131010.07073.woj(a)tstd.pl> References: <200601131010.07073.woj(a)tstd.pl> Message-ID: <200601131046.23651.woj(a)tstd.pl> On Friday 13 January 2006 10:10, Wojciech Kozicki wrote: > Hello, > > anybody was successful monitoring Alcatel switches in NAV?

I feel I must comment on the state of NAV development. The history of NAV up to 2004 can be found here: http://metanav.ntnu.no/moin.cgi/HistoryOfNAV The point is, more than 90% of the code in NAV has been developed by NTNU employees, mostly part-time students. UNINETT have contributed the AlertEngine and AlertProfiles (and about 50% of the financial funding since 2001), while an extremely tiny portion consists of voluntary contributions from third parties. The net result of NTNU having used mostly part-time employees to develop NAV, is that most of them are gone now, and their knowledge with them. As of today, I'm the only active NAV developer left (being a full-time employee at NTNU). John-Magne Bredal is also a full-time employee here, but he mostly maintains the code he has contributed earlier (being our Cricket/RRD expert, and author of the new Arnold subsystem). Also, you'll see Kristian Eide pop by with some helpful comments now and then (being the author of the entire collection and event systems), but he works full-time for an unrelated company now. I try to keep this mailing list going, but unfortunately, it is impossible for me to know every little wrinkle and oddity of NAV. I rely on the kind help of people like Kristian and John-Magne. They don't really work that much with NAV anymore, so they cannot always be expected to help. Since my current boss prioritizes my other assignments, I don't always have the time to figure out the intricate issues that people ask for help for on this list, when I don't already know the answer up front. On to the good news: The past year, NAV activity has been miniscule, mostly due to NTNU focusing on other projects. UNINETT aren't quite satisfied with this, as they see NAV as a strategic advantage. As Vidar Faltinsen has announced on this list, UNINETT will invest quite a lot in NAV this year (and the coming years), to put development and support back on track. Among the things I expect UNINETT to fix, is improved stability and documentation (which, by now, must the the most requested "features" by UNINETT customers). And of course, they plan to implement new features as well :) Most importantly, NAV is free software. If you wish to contribute, it is very much appreciated.

At NTNU, Morten has made a "Authenticated Users (logged in)" group, and this group has been given basic privileges (such as access to the preferences page etc). All logged in users are by default a member in this group.

Correction: I have checked in such a feature to the Subversion trunk, and NTNU happens to use a recent trunk revision of NAV.

What you need to download JavaSNMP 1.4 from this site: http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/people/sevy/snmp/ Unpack, build and then install JavaSnmp.jar somewhere on your Java classpath. - -- Morten Vold, ITEA, NTNU -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDx5OyXxIl0kpcOkQRAsJLAKDmPpTVt+ywvuW5CH1LkXtinMvxLQCfVZ/d 5f5kNUSeAbTzYHEIY37V05o= =auTA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >From morten.vold at ntnu.no Fri Jan 13 13:05:10 2006 From: morten.vold at ntnu.no (Morten Vold) Date: Fri Jan 13 13:05:03 2006 Subject: [Nav-users] Router down, but no notification.

I've never heard of anyone using the traffic map for status monitoring before, so I cannot exactly speak of it's reliability in that area. You should check with your IP Device Center whether there were any boxState alerts in the last 7 days for this box (Go to http://yournavhost/report and enter the box name or IP in the first form field there). Most importantly, box state changes are monitored by the pping backend process. If this process isn't running, NAV won't know what's up and what's down. Check the output of the "nav status" command, make sure pping is up (and everything else for that matter - the only exceptions are processes you've disabled by choice). - -- Morten Vold, ITEA, NTNU -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDx5d1XxIl0kpcOkQRAjwAAJ94baVu5DHUqy4ptXu9zh6zYyKILgCeJKss r4VEfLg+ylLdcINNupcS+Kg= =2R1Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >From morten.vold at ntnu.no Fri Jan 13 13:11:21 2006 From: morten.vold at ntnu.no (Morten Vold) Date: Fri Jan 13 13:11:14 2006 Subject: [Nav-users] Trouble with editdb and UTF-8 In-Reply-To: <20060110215953.Q68239(a)duke.cc.uit.no> References: <20060110215953.Q68239(a)duke.cc.uit.no> Message-ID: <43C798E9.5020706(a)ntnu.no> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 10/01/2006 22:01, Borge Brunes uttered: > It's working OK, but I have one issue with editdb.

SV: Re: [Nav-users] dns-mismatch
by peder.sefland＠hivolda.no 12 Jan '06

Thank you for your respond. It is more a general problem. Infact I have to tune my alertprofile to filter out dns-mismatch. >I can tell you which line to change in the source code if >you want to try. Yes please Does this dns-match have anything with the fact that boxes I have registred in DNS turn up under parsing errors in the Syslog Analyzer. And boxes that I have not registred turn up right in the Syslog Analyzer. Peder >>> Kristian Eide <kreide(a)gmail.com> 11.01.2006 18:33:56 >>> > As we see the sysname is without the domain-name. Do I have to rename > all my boxes to include domain-name? No. The check which is being done here is if the DNS name of the IP (sysname field in netbox table) starts with the collected sysname from the device. That said, it does seem a bit strange that the above will give a dnsMismatch error. The string "volda-XXX.hivolda.no" does indeed start with "volda-XXX". Do you get this error only for this particular device or is it a more general problem? There could potentially be a whitespace issue which throws off the check, but that is at least very easy to fix (I can tell you which line to change in the source code if you want to try). -- Kristian >From roger.kristiansen at cc.uit.no Thu Jan 12 11:16:37 2006 From: roger.kristiansen at cc.uit.no (Roger Kristiansen) Date: Thu Jan 12 11:16:48 2006 Subject: [Nav-users] Feature requests anyone?

The second feature-category is genuine new features; - Use of SNMPv2 counters (also mentioned before, but not there yet...) - Better "group-functionality" regarding users, sub-groups etc (and of course be able to restrict access on group basis) - Differenciate between anonymous (not logged in) users and users that have been authenticated (but have no privileges) - A system to check that all NAV-processes are up and running (and doing what they are supposed to do) - A more generic RADIUS-module to match 802.1x user-login to IP-address and port switch-port - Add a hook in the alarmmodule to be able to run an external script when an alarm occurs (to be able to export alarms to other systems like Tivoli Enterprise Console). This was implemented in one of the RCs, but did not get into the final version. The third feature-category is more exotic, something for NAV7 or so I guess; - Extract and Open the "event-engine" of NAV to make it usable as a generic standalone eventhandler og alarm-console.

A freebsd-compiled Kaffe should not just crash, and if it does it should be able to debug it like any other C program (turn on debug logging in Kaffe, inspect the core dump file, run it in the debugger etc).

This is the one valid argument against Java I can agree to; unfortunately sysadmin people do not have much experience with Java, despite my opinion that Java is very appropriate for this kind of back-end work.

Trouble with editdb and UTF-8

I do not think this is realistic given how much of NAV is currently implemented in Java, however, it is not inherently evil. Getting the paths (I assume you mean the classpath) correct is the same issue you would have even with C and shared libraries and thus is more of a packaging issue. What we could do here is simply package all dependencies in the same .jar file as the main program and then there would be no need to have a classpath at all. This would make it more difficult to upgrade individual components, however, which is why we have not done so already. I am sure a better solution for FreeBSD can be found though. Did you ever try getting NAV to work with Kaffe? -- Kristian
