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). Especially after we switched to the java-snmp package my hope is that we should not have any dependencies which precludes Kaffe from working. > Our main problem with Java is that we have not enough knowledge about the > language to be at any help with debugging.

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. Hopefully Morten will be able to assist a lot more this year if he starts working on NAV full-time. -- Kristian

Trouble with editdb and UTF-8
by Borge.Brunes＠cc.uit.no 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

I did a fresh install of NAV on a new server running FreeBSD 6.0 (I'm testing a new NAV-port) with postgres version 8.1.2 It's working OK, but I have one issue with editdb. When I add some (not all) devices I got this message: Mod_python error: "PythonHandler editdb" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch result = object(req) File "/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/editdb/editdb.py", line 156, in handler output = editPage(req,pageList[table](),request,unicodeError) File "/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/editdb/editdb.py", line 463, in editPage outputForm,action) File "/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/editdb/editdb.py", line 2323, in add box.getDeviceId() File "/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot/editdb/initBox.py", line 172, in getDeviceId handle.execute(sql) ProgrammingError: ERROR: invalid UTF-8 byte sequence detected near byte 0xa6 select deviceid,productid from device where serial='TSC072200EF' or serial='TSC072200EF' or serial='SAL0723EGL7' or serial='SAL0724ES3J' or serial='SAL081231FM' or serial='SAD074205GH' or serial='SAD054901Y2' or serial='SAD070602XN' or serial='TSC072200EF' or serial='TSC072200EF' or serial='ART07080201' or serial='ART0708021F' or serial='SMT0718B638' or serial='SMT0717E960' or serial='SMT0718B178' or serial='SMT0719A419' or serial='SMT0719A658' or serial='SAL0723EGL7' or serial='SAD072500EC' or serial='53P20860004N5 ' or serial='0304041111522442' or serial='0402072351382736' or serial='0301180923529392' or serial='0402072350198996' or serial='0402072342552745' or serial=' ??!,' or serial='0110090723375165' or serial='0110102236193275' or serial='0109251314313648' or serial='0408190153253929' or serial='0408142032151214' or serial='0502031302311622' or serial='0109252054240475' or serial='0404102131298442' or serial='SAL0724ES3J' or serial='SAD072400X2' or serial='23L3337006PP5 ' or serial='0402072351156706' or serial='0402072342477730' or serial='0402072348095458' or serial='0404101237444069' or serial='53P20860004RL ' or serial='"?]?' or serial='0404101234484655' or serial='0402072349401982' or serial='0402072342279079' or serial='0110221752152448' or serial='0402072342405113' or serial='SAL081231FM' or serial='0109251545455076' or serial='0402072349174124' or serial='0402072348587844' or serial='0402072351457995' or serial='0402072351520962' or serial='0404030400310757' or serial='0404030349531186' or serial='0404101236580442' or serial='0404101224508999' or serial='0404101209525423' or serial='0404030401209314' or serial='0404030357555556' or serial='0404030400194397' or serial='0404030359569002' or serial='0406010029209883' or serial='0408162112586079' or serial='SAD074205GH' or serial='SAD074200KC' or serial='SAD074105GC' or serial='SAD054901Y2' or serial='SAD070602XN' (the device is a c6509) It's a fresh database and it looks like editdb tries to put non-UTF-8 characters into the database?

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

Router down, but no notification.
by jsidwell＠perisys.net 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

We are using Nav 3.0, and have a router that we monitor that went down on Friday night, and found out about it this morning when the remote location called. I am currently setup to receive notification on any box down, and received nothing via e-mail. Additionally, we monitor 24/7 on the Traffic Map, but it never showed the device as down/unreachable. What debug info would help troubleshoot this problem? What configuration settings can I verify to make sure this box is configured correctly? Joshua Sidwell >From Ingeborg.Hellemo at cc.uit.no Tue Jan 10 10:53:53 2006 From: Ingeborg.Hellemo at cc.uit.no (Ingeborg Hellemo) Date: Tue Jan 10 10:54:00 2006 Subject: [Nav-users] Feature requests anyone? In-Reply-To: Your message of "Wed, 04 Jan 2006 14:01:44 +0100." <Pine.LNX.4.64.0601041322380.18181(a)tyholt-ng.uninett.no> Message-ID: <200601100953.k0A9rrTV049797(a)dis.cc.uit.no> Vidar.Faltinsen(a)uninett.no said: > We are currently working on a list of new features to implement. I could > present the list, but at this stage I will rather ask the NAV community... > what do you want? The University og Troms? now proudly presents their wish list: (Well Vidar, you asked for it...) ----- Programming/packaging style: * Fewer languages NAV of today is dependent of almost every scripting language known to man, except ruby (oops, I shouldn't have said that!). Please make sure that new features does not involve more languages and small packages (which must be of exactly version x.y-rc2) only found on obscure and badly connected websites. * Less JAVA The first language we would like to say goodbye (and good riddance!) to is Java. It is a PIA to get to work on FreeBSD and a problem for all platforms to configure and get all paths etc. correct. Of course you still need Java for visualisation, but for the data collector we would like to see threaded python or even C as this would be more portable and easyer to maintain. ----- Features: * Please make today's features work before you put all your resources on new features. * Please implement the features we have lost from earlier versions of NAV and the features you have promised us for the last years before you put all your resources on new features. Some of the things we have noticed: * The world is down NAVv3 does not recognice that it has lost connection to its switch and wrongly reports this as "the world is down!" * Alert profile - Filters based on "Sub category" does not work. - Double messages/sms-es are sent out - Need more documentation * Better sms-handling. We loose messages today during large outages. * Traffic map - Same problems as reported by others * cricket - We miss the zoom-in function fram NAVv2. Perhaps this is just a FreeBSD-loss, but we would really like this integrated into the main cricket-package so that we can upgrade cricket at will without having to wait for a NAV-patch. * Larger fields in some database tables (we have problems with 'room' and 'location') ----- When you have done all this we would please like to have: * Support for boxes that NTNU does not use (i.e. 3750) and stacked switches. * Support for weatherducks. * Better handling of modules * System for receiving alerts (and generating alarms) from other systems i.e. snmptraps, email, syslog. * Support for data collection via http, telnet/ssh from systems that does not support snmp. * Snapshot view of VLAN, duplex etc. of a port/interface * cricket - Better cricket-integration for servers and UPS-es (and wireless). What we want is makecricketconfig.pl to automatic update a cricket-subtree for these devices. - sorted load statistics * Better support for threshholds (responce time, filling of disks, cpu load etc.) * We want to set individual threshholds for when a box/service is registered as down. (A well connected server is down if unreachable for 1 minute, a server behind a shaky radiolink is down if unreachable for 10 minutes) * Better service monitoring - More services - Take into consideration that a service may have its own IP-address that runs on another server. I.e. box host.uit.no has IP-address 10.10.10.1 The host runs services smtp.uit.no with address 10.10.10.2 and web.uit.no with address 10.10.10.3. I only need _service_ monitoring on the two latter addresses (no need to ping them) and if I put host.uit.no on maintenance I do not want receive alarms about smtp.uit.no or web.uit.no (neither ip-addresses nor services) * Maintenance - Must be able to put a service on maintenance. - Better user interface. - Be able to put "all" boxes and services at a given location on maintenance. * Better "devicemanagement"/"IP Device Center". Should these perhaps merge? When we do a https://nav.uit.no/browse/some_box we also want to see info from devicemanagement like - IOS-version - upgraded when? - register comments about device - etc. * RSS-feed * Possibility to exclude subnet (in a config-file) that we don't want NAV to use. Eg. 127.0.0.1/8 ----- Regarding syslog: Our view is first of all that syslog does not belong in a database. Period. (Prosessed and aggregated information from syslog may be put in a database, but only after you have identified what you are looking for.) Syslog from Cisco is particularly difficult to parse because every type of device has its own syntax, and small configuration changes on the device will result in completely different syntax. This is why today's syslog module in NAV does not work for anyone besides those who implemented the parser. There exist a number of syslog collecting/parsing systems out there, some good, some not so good. To put much effort into implementing syslog collection in NAV is to reinvent the weel. We think it would be better to implement a system that can receive alerts from an external syslog-parsing system. What we would like to see in NAV is the ability to show normal syslog-files with moderate search/grep functionality. We are currently doing som work on this for our helpdesk so they can check the radius-syslog without having access to our main syslogserver. ------ Best wishes for the new NAV year...

I have thought that my colleagues at computer-dep. only needs to registrer their servers or wireless in the web-interface, but not to edit /etc/host file on the nav-box.

A couple of bugs
by kjetil.olsen＠usit.uio.no 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

We have problems when we configure IP-addresses directly on physical interfaces on routers (cisco catalysts or ordinary cisco-routers e.g. 7206) and connect them to switches (we use switches to interconnect several routers). The interfaces are discovered by gdd, but not placed in the correct VLAN even if we use the correct description-field (with VLAN ID) and the VLAN is known to NAV, and the switch is correctly configured with VLAN. This messes up the traffic-map, making it usesless.... (In NAV2 this works like a charm....) I would think that more detailed debugging is needed :-) Contact nett-drift(a)usit.uio.no to get access. And while I'm at it.... A second bug (that I think has been mentioned before, but): The cricket-config does not contain the correct decription-fields on routers. The router is OK, and the "Router ports" report (.../report/gwport) is also OK, but cricket says "No decription available". On switches we do not see this problem, port descriptions show up fine in cricket. I guess that "makecricketconfig" is to blame in one way or another :-) And a third one :-) In the traffic-map I can right-click on a router and get a router-menu. Choosing "Netlist" tryes to access cricket, not the reports.... --Kjetil
