A beta version of the upcoming 3.9 series of NAV, version 3.9.0b1, is now available for download at Launchpad for those who wish to test it: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.9/3.9.0b1 The 3.9 series include these improvements: User-visible features and improvements: * NAV's threshold monitoring feature has finally been completed - Threshold Manager is a new web tool that allows adjusting threshold values for individual statistical data sources. Alerts generated by the threshold monitor can be subscribed to in users' alert profiles. * MAC Watch is a new web tool that maintains a watch list of MAC addresses. Whenever a watched MAC address appears on your network, NAV will send an alert that can be subscribed to. * ipdevpoll can now retrieve VLAN configuration from Extreme Networks devices. * ipdevpoll can now optionally use the pynetsnmp library as an alternative to the TwistedSNMP/PySNMP combination. pynetsnmp is a ctypes binding to the well-known NetSNMP library, and should noticeably improve performance if used. * Layer 2 topology discovery has been rewritten from scratch, due to both problems with the results of the old discovery code and problems with maintaining the old code. Bugfixes: * LP#739718 (ifName should be derived from baseport number if not available) More changes may still make it into the final release. Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug :-) A binary package for Debian 5 (Lenny) will be made available as soon as possible. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on commission From UNINETT. Happy NAVing everyone! -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT
