Hi, As I mentioned in a previous posting NTNU and UNINETT are currently planning the 2006 NAV activity. We are more ambitious this year and are prepared to put a lot of resources into maintaining and further developing NAV. 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? We certainly have some ideas ourselves, partly based on feedback, both on- and offline. Nevertheless, please empty your (navish) heart and express your wishes! This is your chance (well, one of them). We are interested in request for both the short and long term. I assume more smooth installation, maybe support for certain equipment types, etc, is on the list. Further - in terms of new and/or improved functionality - what would you like? As NAV is an open source project, contributions are very much welcome. If you have plans or hopes in this respect, please let us know. All input is of value. This includes criticism. Looking forward to this thread! - Vidar

Hello,
I have couple of cisco 7140, and NAV can't see all routers interfaces. In router-ports report I can see only some of ATM interfaces, but not all. Also, there is lack of Fast Etherent interfaces. I tried re-adding device to nav, but it didn't help.
Missing subinterfaces are on different modules...
What I should check?
MRTG is working with this routers with no problem.
MRTG has traffic counters for the interfaces that NAV are missing?
yes, I am using in mrtg simply: ./cfgmaker <snmp read community>@$<ip address> > mrtg_file.cfg I just checked, mrtg also can't see fast ethernet subinterfaces, but it can see main fast etherent interfaces, and ALL atm subinterfaces. Missing (in NAV) atm interfaces are configured typically.
You should verify what the router returns of ifindexes/ifdescr from the interfaces MIB. I know the support has been varying in respect to fast/gigethernet-based subinterface support. At one point ios gave us the ifindexes, but the octet counters were not maintained.
Do a snmpwalk directly to the router in question, something like:
snmpwalk -On -c <snmp read community> -v2c <ip address> ifdescr
or
snmpwalk -On -c <snmp read community> -v2c <ip address> .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2
I did it. I can see there missing atm subinterfaces, and fast Ethernet interfaces but no fast ethernet subinterfaces (802.1q). regards, thanks for help -- Woj

I am not sure how to add OID's to NAV without messing with the database, perhaps some other NAV-developer may answer this?
I think editDB has support for adding new OIDs.
Yes, there is, but I can't find descriptions Howto fill form: OID key * Snmpoid * OID source Match regexp OID name MIB Description Can somebody give some detailed info, how to fill these fields, and how will this work with cricket? regards -- Woj

So, Happy New Year to all ! I with to say thanks to NAV developers and community for great monitoring/network inventory software (but a bit difficult for install :-) We switch from nagios to NAV for number of reasons: 1) More visualizations 2) More reports 3) Great search functions (per mac, vlan, ports etc). Its really great! What I need with NAV: 1) SNMP trap handling. For example, we have number of small POPs with APC Smart UPS+AP9617 mgmnt cards installed. I wish to monitor power outages within NAV - for our duty staff (much less skilled than noc people :) is better to see one application on screen 2) SNMP polling and thresholds. Is link quality bad ? Is interface load too high or too low ? 3) More FreeBSD support.

I have experience the same thing. But some of my switches that has only ip-adresse and no dns-name turn up in the Syslog Analyser. All the others turn up under "parsing errors" link. Do you have any false alerts on dns-mismatch? I'm not shure that this has anything to do with this. Peder Sefland

All device names are resolved correctly, beacuse all hostname informations are in NAV machine /etc/hosts file. -- Woj

First off, thank you all very much for creating and maintaining this software; it's made my job (and life) much easier.
...and life - wow! Thank you!
One little suggestion: a non-cisco syslog module, where syslog output from devices like UPS, non-cisco switches, and so on could be viewed through the web interface. Even something simple that would be searchable with text strings and regexp would be very helpful.
Thank you for your input. We will definitely consider this.
Thanks for asking!

Hi,
As I mentioned in a previous posting NTNU and UNINETT are currently planning the 2006 NAV activity. We are more ambitious this year and are prepared to put a lot of resources into maintaining and further developing NAV.

We are interested in request for both the short and long term.
I assume more smooth installation, maybe support for certain equipment types, etc, is on the list. Further - in terms of new and/or improved functionality - what would you like?
As NAV is an open source project, contributions are very much welcome. If you have plans or hopes in this respect, please let us know.

This is on our list to. SNMP traps will be implemented. We will also have a particular focus on power, UPS and temperature statistics and alarms.
2) SNMP polling and thresholds. Is link quality bad ? Is interface load too high or too low ?
On the list, been there (too) long.
3) More FreeBSD support. I think that following message from archive must be on NAV wiki: http://desperados.itea.ntnu.no/pipermail/nav-users/2005-December/001117.html
I agree. Will be done.
