Hi,
I thought I should give NAV a tryout in a large service provider network. After some initial problems fetching the device information for some devices (had to remove the OSPF oid) I was finally up and running. I had to add all my device types but that was easily done (I have mostly Cisco 7600 and 7300 series devices). However, NAV has a huge problem trying to figure out which module each port belongs to (especially the 10Gb ports). Attached is a device info screen grab of one of my modules (module 5), and as you can see NAV things the module has ports from module 1, 2, 4 (and 5) as well as loopbacks and vlans. Other parts of NAV seems to get things correct (the explorer) however because of these problems they can’t detect where the port connects to (link type “none”). Which sadly makes NAV useless. Is there a way I can fix this?
Whenever the device info is able to pinpoint which module the port belongs to it is also able to detect the device the port connects to (including the 10Gb ports). However, that seems to be the exception and not the rule.
FYI, the screen grab is from a 7609 running SRD1.
Regards,
Geir Inge Jensen
Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone have found a way to use NAV to see if a certain port is voice vlan enabled? I submitted a LP ticket about this quite some time back, but I didn't receive a reply or any feedback on it (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav/+bug/362233) Typically we have VoIP-people dropping by our office asking "Is Port44 on switch-2.hostname.com voice enabled, and which voice vlan?" I thought maybe IP Device Info would show this in forms of another vlan, but it doesn't. It would be to great value for us atleast------------------------------------------------------ Vidar Stokkenes

All queued SMS messages can be suppressed manually prior to a restart using the -c option to smsd.py See "smsd.py -h" for more help on command line options to the daemon. -- -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT
NAV 3.5.5 is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.5/3.5.5 This release fixes 17 bugs in NAV 3.5. The log of all changes to the 3.5 series is attached to this message. A binary package for Debian 4 and 5 (Etch and Lenny) will be made available as soon as possible. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on commission From UNINETT. At the same time I would like to apologize for lack of responses to mailing list posts the last few months. We were hoping to have NAV 3.6 ready by now, but everything has been delayed due to the fact that I was away from work for more than two months (beginning around 20th November). Happy NAVing everyone! -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

New features and improvements:
* Radius accounting module added. Enables NAV to store accounting logs from
FreeRADIUS servers in the database, and search this data in the web
interface.
* HP SwitchStack support removed. This functionality would cause much grief
for those who have non-SwitchStack devices from HP. See release NOTES for
more information about migrating to this version if you monitor HP
devices.
* The report tool now displays the timestamp of report results. This
enables the user to see whether the results are retrieved live or from the
report cache. The cache is now also invalidated immediately if the report
configuration files are changed.
Bugfixes:
* LP#273030 (getDeviceData crashes with ConcurrentModificationException)

Launchpad.net has replaced SourceForge.net as NAV's project site
provider. All bug/feature number references from here on are
prefixed with 'LP#'.
New features and improvements:
* The four NAV databases are merged into a single database.

tools rewritten from scratch using Python/Django.
* AlertEngine har been rewritten from scratch using Python.
* Netmap replaces the old Traffic Map solution.
* Tomcat and PHP are no longer needed by NAV.
* The report tool now supports local site reports using
report.local.conf, while the report.conf distributed with NAV can
be kept untouched.
* Reports can now be configured to display column sum totals.
* All available reports can now be listed, so they'll be available
even if someone forgot to update the front.html configuration
file.
* More flexible location/room/device lookups and selects in the
maintenance and device management interfaces.
* LP#258331 (Warn user when port activity interval is larger than
the actual data set)
* LP#258340 (Additional information on switch ports)

for old records)
* LP#258304 (Bug in color legend, browse/activity port view)
=========================== Release notes for NAV 3.5 =========================== Please report bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav If you are upgrading from versions of NAV older than 3.4, please refer to the release notes of the in-between versions before reading any further. Netmap vs. Traffic Map ====================== The Traffic Map has been superseded by the Netmap. Netmap does not require a Java servlet backend, and in combination with a rewrite of Network Explorer this means Tomcat is no longer needed for a NAV installation. If, for any reason, you really miss the old Traffic Map, you can find it as a contrib under contrib/trafficmap/. Refer to contrib/trafficmap/README for installation instructions. Jabber alerts ============= The newly rewritten AlertEngine includes support for dispatching alerts using Jabber. Edit alertengine.conf to configure NAV's Jabber ID and password. The Jabber alert plugin will not register for a new account, so you must create the account referred to by the JID setting before attempting to use Jabber alerts. Upgrading from NAV 3.4 ====================== Database changes ---------------- Whereas NAV 3.4 used four separate PostgreSQL databases (manage, navprofiles, logger and arnold) to store its data, NAV 3.5 uses a single database. Before running the normal SQL upgrade procedure (i.e. SQL scripts from doc/sql/upgrades/), you MUST merge your four existing NAV databases into a single nav database. The shell script doc/sql/mergedb.sh can help you with this. Se doc/sql/upgrades/README for more information. Removed HP SwitchStack support ------------------------------ Support for HP SwitchStacks has been removed from NAV. The support was implemented in a hackish way, and disrupted support for any HP devices that weren't SwitchStacks. If you do monitor HP equipment with NAV, you will likely find some problems with HP data collected by your old NAV version. You may experience that HP modules are reported as down, statistics for existing interfaces may cease to be updated, and NAV may register duplicate interfaces on your HP devices. These problems can be resolved by making NAV forget about all previously registered modules on HP devices, and let it rediscover them from scratch. An SQL script is provided to do just that. This script can be found as doc/sql/upgrades/3.5.0b2-hpfix.sql. Please refer to the instructions in the comments in that file. Dependency changes ------------------ The following dependencies are new to NAV 3.5: * python-django >= 1.0 (http://www.djangoproject.com) * psycopg2 (in addition to psycopg1, http://www.initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/) The following are no longer dependencies in NAV 3.5: * Tomcat * PHP * The Perl modules DBD::Pg and SNMP_Session * The Python module forgetHTML A dependency to the python module pyrad was previously undocumented. This module is required if you wish to monitor radius servers using NAV's service monitor. The module can be found at http://www.wiggy.net/code/pyrad/ . Files to remove --------------- These files and directories should be removed from your installation after the upgrade: apache/tools/editdb.tool apache/tools/vlanPlot.tool apache/tools/navAdmin.tool apache/webroot/editdb/ apache/webroot/js/editdbTemplate.js apache/webroot/style/editdbTemplate.css apache/webroot/images/toolbox/tools/editdb.png lib/python/nav/web/templates/editdbTemplate.py etc/alertengine.cfg You should rename etc/editdb.conf to etc/seeddb.conf if you have any local changes to editdb.conf. These files and directories are all prefixed with /usr/local/nav/ in a default configuration, but your mileage may vary. Configuration changes --------------------- A jabber message class has been added to alertmsg.conf, so don't forget to update this config file with changes from the package if you want to use Jabber alerts. You can now add local reports and changes to existing reports in the report.local.conf file. This means you will not have to sew together any upstream report changes with your own changes to report.conf. nav.conf has been updated with at least two more options. DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL configures what email address is used as the originating address for email alerts (this was previously configured in alertengine.cfg). More parts of NAV are being implemented using Django, so a DJANGO_DEBUG setting has been added to nav.conf. This is a True/False setting which controls whether Django will output debug information when errors occur.

Hi all, forgetSQL is an unmaintained piece of shi^H^Hoftware that NAV versions up to 3.5 depend on. While we have removed this dependency from the coming NAV 3.6, some will experience warnings when running NAV under Python 2.5, and outright failures on Python 2.6, due to problems with the forgetSQL module. The forgetSQL module raises string exceptions in three places, and these are deprecated in Python 2.5, and not supported in 2.6. You may see error messages such as these: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/forgetSQL.py:212: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated raise "NotFound" or File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/forgetSQL.py", line 212, in __new__ raise "NotFound" TypeError: exceptions must be classes or instances, not str I'm attaching a quick forgetSQL patch I've written to overcome these problems until NAV 3.6 has reached a stable release. -- -- Morten Brekkevold UNINETT
