You have a problem with the Java Virtual Machine installed on your system, and this is causing the Drexel JavaSNMP library to spew NullPointerExceptions instead of doing something useful. This is evident because of the excerpt from getDeviceData-stderr.log you posted. > Also serveral devices report Availability like this one: > Availability -4.1e+180% -5.1e+175% -3.8e+166% (day / week / month) > > Could this be snmpversion troubles? No. This looks similar to other RRD related problems we have seen when using rrdtool version 1.2.15. Something seems to be wrong with the Python binding provided by this version of rrdtool, and this causes many calculations based on RRD data to fail. One of our developers is looking in to this specific problem. Hopefully, we will have a solution for the NAV 3.3.1 release. > When i try click on the Traffic Map, all i get is a new page showing > a java aplet that just show the java logo.

Please see this posting from the archives about common Traffic Map problems: http://desperados.itea.ntnu.no/pipermail/nav-users/2007-October/001705.html I think we need to update the Traffic Map FAQ point (although the current traffic map will be replaced in the not too distant future). > getDeviceData.log is zero size. The default log level for NAV's Java processes in the Debian package is 3, which means only detected errors are logged. If you wish to see more information in the logs of the Java processes (getDeviceData, eventEngine, getBoksMacs, networkDiscovery), you should change the log level in /etc/nav/nav.conf. > In /var/log/nav/getDeviceData/getDeviceData-stderr.log contains: Tracebacks of both handled and unhandled exceptions are written to stderr, which is redirected to this file. > java.lang.NullPointerException > at snmp.SNMPSequence.setValue(Unknown Source) > at snmp.SNMPVariablePair.<init>(Unknown Source) > at snmp.SNMPv1CommunicationInterface.getNextMIBEntry(Unknown Source) > at [...] And this is, as I mentioned above, a problem with your installed Java Virtual Machine. We recommend using Sun's JVM, but Debian does not install this as the default Java alternative unless you explicitly ask it to. You should install the package sun-java5-jdk from Debian's non-free section, and use the command 'update-alternatives --config java' to select this Java VM as the correct alternative for the java command. You'll need to restart the eventEngine and getDeviceData daemons after this step. > Could this be related to the missing port view section? Yes. You don't have any info in the port view section, because no info has been collected from your devices. Once your SNMP problem has been corrected, NAV should be able to collect the proper information from your devices. Take a look at the "IP Devices in operation" report (/report/netbox is the URL). This should give you a good overview of that NAV has detected on your devices, such as module and port counts. Also important is the SNMP column of this report, which tells you the number of known SNMP OIDs getDeviceData has found a device to be compatible with. Clicking a number in this column will bring you to a report showing the list of OIDs that were found compatible. All SNMP-enabled devices you have configured with a read-community in EditDB should have a number greater than zero in this column (unless you've just added the device, in which case NAV might not have had time to test it for compatibility yet).

Nestor, please verify the following: * In /etc/tomcat5.5/server.xml you should have a line like the following: <Connector port="8180" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" I.e. it defines a Tomcat HTTP/1.1 connector to listen on port 8180. * In /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/nav/web/pyproxy/proxy.py you should have a line (ca. line 42) that says: SERVERPORT=8180 If you can verify this, please restart Tomcat and try Network Explorer again. If it still does not work, please verify that you can actually reach Tomcat using your browser, by directing it to http://yourserver:8180/ -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From Ingeborg.Hellemo at cc.uit.no Tue Oct 30 09:19:11 2007 From: Ingeborg.Hellemo at cc.uit.no (Ingeborg Hellemo) Date: Tue Oct 30 09:19:41 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] snmptrapd with ImportError In-Reply-To: Your message of "Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:40:19 +0100." yylwst6m1bg.fsf@voldsminde.uninett.no Message-ID: 200710300819.l9U8JBtD075294@barnetv.cc.uit.no morten.brekkevold@uninett.no said: > Can you confirm that your system has a Python module named nav.snmptrapd.handl > ers.linkupdown (i.e. nav/snmptrapd/handlers/linkupdown.py) installed and > available on the Python library path?
