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@tstd.pl References: 200601131010.07073.woj@tstd.pl Message-ID: 200601131046.23651.woj@tstd.pl On Friday 13 January 2006 10:10, Wojciech Kozicki wrote: > Hello, > > anybody was successful monitoring Alcatel switches in NAV?

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. I also believe logengine will truncate the log file after it has been read. - -- Morten Vold, ITEA, NTNU -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDx3zKXxIl0kpcOkQRAiuGAKDpLWmxswuK2raIQCRS9iqDlp0MlQCdGFXg Aa2aflR3AyWhZmoaUAXiCbU= =gv6K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >From woj at tstd.pl Fri Jan 13 11:20:39 2006 From: woj at tstd.pl (Wojciech Kozicki) Date: Fri Jan 13 11:21:05 2006 Subject: [Nav-users] logger.conf In-Reply-To: 43C77CCA.5020301@ntnu.no References: 200601041459.11900.woj@tstd.pl 43C77CCA.5020301@ntnu.no Message-ID: 200601131120.39752.woj@tstd.pl On Friday 13 January 2006 11:11, Morten Vold wrote: > On 04/01/2006 14:59, Wojciech Kozicki uttered: > > how should be cisco box configured to have correct analyse in NAV Syslog > > Analyzer? > > 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.

This works ok, because nav has got my logs, but it puts them into error table. regards - Woj >From morten.vold at ntnu.no Fri Jan 13 11:45:07 2006 From: morten.vold at ntnu.no (Morten Vold) Date: Fri Jan 13 11:45:00 2006 Subject: [Nav-users] Again?

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. Anything helps - code, documentation - you name it. - -- Morten Vold, ITEA, NTNU -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDx4SzXxIl0kpcOkQRAn5hAJ0dhM+2/4+7VrBW0dZadVFEiE/t4wCghn2t 14BZ0GpOnpnLOSsW0fbgljw= =zt9/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >From gro-anita.vindheim at ntnu.no Fri Jan 13 12:31:20 2006 From: gro-anita.vindheim at ntnu.no (Gro-Anita Vindheim) Date: Fri Jan 13 12:31:14 2006 Subject: [Nav-users] Feature requests anyone?

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. I'm sure Morten can provide you with the SQL needed. > - A system to check that all NAV-processes are up and running > (and doing what they are supposed to do) I've made a small script that does a diff between a previous "NAV status" (/usr/local/nav/bin/nav status) and the current one. It runs in the "cron system" provided by NAV (I guess Morten can give a link to documentation of the nav status/start/stop system, and how to add local cron jobs). I can send a copy to the list if anyone is interested. Peder Magne Sefland also mentioned in a mail to this list a few weeks back that he has done something similar.

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

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@duke.cc.uit.no References: 20060110215953.Q68239@duke.cc.uit.no Message-ID: 43C798E9.5020706@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.
