I suspect you are thinking of process monitoring through SNMP? NAV already supports external monitoring of the most common TCP/IP reachable services, but does not currently support monitoring internal server processes through SNMP. > If not, do you have any idea of which release/when that could be > implemented?

Due to limited resources, the core NAV developer team is not focusing on new service monitoring functionality, but on the core network monitoring functionality. The University of Troms?, however, are interested in using, maintaining and developing further the service monitoring aspects of NAV. You should maybe have a chat with Ole Martin Bj?rndalen of the University of Troms?, whom I've Cc:ed in this e-mail. He has written a NAV subsystem which does exactly what I think you are after: It monitors server processes through SNMP. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From morten.brekkevold at uninett.no Mon Oct 1 12:23:49 2007 From: morten.brekkevold at uninett.no (Morten Brekkevold) Date: Mon Oct 1 11:23:57 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] NAV 3.3.0 RC1 + Unsupported SNMP protocol version In-Reply-To: 46FB9C0B.7020109@gmail.com References: 46FB9C0B.7020109@gmail.com Message-ID: 4700BCA5.20406@uninett.no Erik Weber wrote, On 27-09-2007 14:03: > When I try to add boxes I often get the following error message: > nav.Snmp.UnsupportedSnmpVersionError: Unsupported SNMP protocol version: 0 > > Anyone have an idea of how to fix it ? Debian Etch with the latest > package from Werner. A quick look at the code reveals a bizarre procedure; EditDB attempts to find out which SNMP version the box supports. It first attempts version 2c, if this times out it tries version 1, if this also times out it claims the SNMP version is 0. Apparently this value is used in later requests, which, of course, fails miserably. So, to make it short: It seems that what really happens when you get this message is that SNMP communication with the box timed out. I need to inspect the code a bit closer before I can tell when this actually occurs and figure out how to fix it. Question for you: Does this happen when you insert single boxes using the Add form, or does it happen only when bulk importing? Or does it happen on both? I have filed this as a bug here: http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1805509 -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From twiztar+nav at gmail.com Mon Oct 1 15:08:28 2007 From: twiztar+nav at gmail.com (Erik Weber) Date: Mon Oct 1 14:08:45 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] NAV 3.3.0 RC1 + Unsupported SNMP protocol version In-Reply-To: 4700BCA5.20406@uninett.no References: 46FB9C0B.7020109@gmail.com 4700BCA5.20406@uninett.no Message-ID: 4700E33C.4020002@gmail.com Morten Brekkevold wrote: > Erik Weber wrote, On 27-09-2007 14:03: > >> When I try to add boxes I often get the following error message: >> nav.Snmp.UnsupportedSnmpVersionError: Unsupported SNMP protocol version: 0 >> >> Anyone have an idea of how to fix it ?

Or does it happen on both? > I've only tried to add single boxes, and the error message occur pretty fast (less than 2 seconds), so that timeout value is pretty low, hehe. I can try doing a bulk import if you think it matters. -- Erik Weber >From twiztar at gmail.com Mon Oct 1 15:14:37 2007 From: twiztar at gmail.com (Erik Weber) Date: Mon Oct 1 14:15:49 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] Announcement: NAV 3.3.0 RC1 released In-Reply-To: 4700B683.4050103@uninett.no References: 46EFCB84.70504@uninett.no 46F8AC23.8090409@gmail.com 4700B683.4050103@uninett.no Message-ID: 4700E4AD.3060709@gmail.com Morten Brekkevold wrote: > Erik Weber wrote, On 25-09-2007 08:35: > > >> Glad to see a new release, does this version support surveillance of >> services on snmp enabled servers? >> > > I suspect you are thinking of process monitoring through SNMP?

We're looking for a new tool to do our surveillance and this includes a few servers with some critical services as well as com. equipment. -- Erik Weber >From morten.brekkevold at uninett.no Mon Oct 1 18:02:00 2007 From: morten.brekkevold at uninett.no (Morten Brekkevold) Date: Mon Oct 1 17:02:10 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] Announcement: NAV 3.3.0 released Message-ID: 47010BE8.1000808@uninett.no NAV 3.3.0 is now available for download at SourceForge, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/nav :-) This is mainly a feature release, but many bugs have also been fixed. Feedback from users and our own testing efforts revealed a few small glitches in the release candidate, and these have been fixed in this final release version. The Debian package maintainer, Morten Werner Olsen, is working on a Debian Etch package of NAV 3.3, which will be released shortly. Happy NAVing, everyone! -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT
