I have maybe a diffrent problem This is a tail of may cisco.log file

Jan 13 14:00:08 158.X.X.X 448: 1w4d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/2, changed state to down Jan 13 14:00:13 158.X.X.X 449: 1w4d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/2, changed state to up Jan 13 14:00:35 volda-XXX 1824540: 1y35w: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/5, changed state to down Jan 13 14:00:38 volda-XXX 1824541: 1y35w: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/5, changed state to up Jan 13 14:00:41 volda-XXX 1824542: 1y35w: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/5, changed state to up

The switch with the ip-adresse turn up ok in the syslog Analyzer, but the switch with the sysname turn up under parsing errors

Any ideas?

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. 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).

Well, I am a console person :) But I thin that Logger module is really

usefull, sometimes clicking is not so good...

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

Thank You for this info.

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.

This works ok, because nav has got my logs, but it puts them into error table.

regards

My input is UTF-8, so I guess that the ugly serial number ' ??!,' came from initBox.py or another of the py-script editdb use.

Ok, I took a closer look at the code, and this is what seems to be going on:

1. Editdb retrieves a list of OIDs, known to return serial numbers, from the snmpoid table. 2. It then proceeds to query the new IP device for each one of those OIDs. 3. It then interprets all the retrieved values as if they were serial numbers, and queries the NAV database to see if any devices with these serial numbers already exist in the database.

What seems to be happening, is that some devices return garbage as their reply to one or more of these OID queries, and that is what PostgreSQL is choking on.

You can see which OIDs are queried if you execute the following SQL on your manage database: select snmpoid,getnext from snmpoid where oidkey ilike '%serial%';

I'll try to come up with a solution to this later, as I'm a bit pressed for time right now.
