Hi Anna,

I'm new in NAV. Just recently got it installed on RHEL 4.0. NAV has really nice features. It combines network traffic and server/services monitors. I'm still in exploring stage.
Have some questions, appreciate very much if I can get some helps:
In Traffic Map I have all 10 routers displayed. Can I put switches in containers so that I can have them displayed in Traffic Map also?
After I added a service for Windows 2000 server with SNMP community string, I start receiving notifications every 5 minutes. The notifications are all subjected "Cron navcron@lanwatch2 $CRICKETDIR/cricket/collect-subtrees normal". I couldn't figure out how to stop sending these notifications after I commented out the line of OID from "./cricket/cricket-config/servers/Defaults:OID loadnix", and deleted the server and service from "Edit Database", but still receiving it.. Detail contents are listing here:
================================== Error and the lines leading up to it: [24-Mar-2007 10:30:08 ] Retrieved data for vlan44 (41): 10438892353644,94403720713501,0,0,3589469349,3346250220 [24-Mar-2007 10:30:08 ] Retrieved data for vlan48 (42): 1458405062399,605868363637,0,0,1957792583,3119005860 [24-Mar-2007 10:30:08 ] Retrieved data for users (): 1 [24-Mar-2007 10:30:08 ] Retrieved data for processes (): 66 [24-Mar-2007 10:30:08*] Could not resolve OID for loadnix
*snip*
The Cricket statistics for servers is something we consider removing from NAV altogether. The reason for this is that it is quite impossible to create good generic config for servers in Cricket, and that the attempt NAV does spur a lot of errors . I strongly suggest that you make your own cricket-config for server statistics and remove the one present.
To remove the existing config, delete the server-directory from $cricket/cricket-config, and edit the cricket-config/.nav-file (mind the dot) and remove servers from the dirs-variable. This will make sure the config will not be recreated. Then run compile from $cricket/cricket as navcron (sudo navcron ./compile).
However, we are working on a new version of the script that makes cricket-config. This version will combine the advantages of the NAV-database and user-customization in a much better way than today. Both we and, I hope, our users look forward to this. :)

Thank you John for your feedback.
Yes, I'm looking forward to the new version definitely.
For our reference, when the new version will be available approximately?
