Hello, Friends,

What is the best configuration of Java Virtual Machine to use in tool NetMap
visualization ?


Best Regards,

Jean Tomaz.

Hi,

Using "IP Device Info" the information about "Uplink" not is appear in the
switch's Cisco. So, the tool "NetMap" show switchs like "disconnected".

Does you can to help ?

Best Regards,

Hello all,

I'm trying to install nav on ubuntu 9.04 and this fails cause of 2 (only 2)
dependency failures.
a) python < 2.5. 9.04 has python 2.6.
b) postgress = 8.1. Ubuntu has postgres 8.3

Is it necessary to pin these 2 dependency versions ? I have knowledge of python
but I'd assume that 2.6 is good enough against 2.5 source code. Same goes for
postgres

Correct me if I'm wrong. In the mean time I'l try to force install nav.

btw, seems VERY promising.

thx all

This is not necessary for NAV, but the Debian package itself only
supports python 2.4 (it installs library modules directly to
/usr/lib/python2.4/...).

I'm not sure whether the package contains any specific dependency to
PostgreSQL 8.1, but NAV works fine on 8.3 for us.

Morten Werner Forsbring (the Debian package maintainer) is currently
working on a revised package for Debian Lenny, but I'm not up-to-date
on the status of this work. Care to comment, Werner?

> Correct me if I'm wrong. In the mean time I'l try to force install nav.

Since the python libraries are only installed for python 2.4, you will
likely have problems finding the libraries when running python 2.5,
unless you change your python 2.5 library search path. You may be
able to make it work by appending the correct directory to sys.path in
/etc/python2.5/sitecustomize.py .

Thanks :)

I think the package for Lenny is ready, but I miss an hour or so to
document and test the upgrade path from Etch a few more times
(pg_upgradecluster does not preserve per database configuration
parameters, ref. [1]).

So please try this apt-source (which supports more versions of Python
and PostgreSQL 8.3):

deb http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/debian lenny-test local

The package will be moved to the lenny-archive on
pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org when documentation after _some_ more testing
(will be announced on nav-users).

The package was moved to the lenny-archive before christmans, but the
announcement was forgotten. Sorry about that. :/

Anyway Uninett have started using the packages in the lenny-archives, so
if you do not want to use my test-packages, please move to the following
archive:

deb http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/debian lenny local

The upgrade path is documented here:

http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/upgrade-path-etch-lenny.html

Please send feedback to this list or directly to me.

Hi

I am monitoring wireless access points using NAV 3.5.4. Some of these access
points only report "N/A" for Availability and response time.

This is a similar issue to bug #345783 submitted by Yours truly, but not
identical, because here there is no data at all, while bug #345783 addressed an
issue with certain time periods being empty. It may be related though...

I have looked in the rrd_file table, and there are entries for the relevant
devices, as well as rrd files in the rrd folder.

Is this a bug or a seeding error?

Thank you!

Well, as we confirmed while discussing this on IRC, it's a bug in the pping
(and servicemon) subsystems.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav/+bug/566574

In short: pping will not handle a case of reseeding, i.e. if you delete an IP
device and seed it again using Seed DB, the reseeded device's availability
statistics will be unavailable (!).

When the IP Device is deleted, so is NAV's knowledge of the corresponding RRD
file used to log availability and ping roundtrip times. The RRD file itself
is not deleted, however. pping will re-use this RRD file when the IP device
is reseeded, but it will only add it to NAV's registry of RRD files if it had
to create the RRD file from scratch.

A patch is in the works.

I added one host (server) for testing purpose. After a while I turned off the
machine but in Devices in Operation UP section it still shows y. I am not sure

1. The report results are cached for a short period of time. Please check
the "Results generated" timestamp at the top or bottom of the report
output. How long did you wait before checking the report after turning
off the test09 machine?

A more proper page to see the current status is the status tool, not
inventory reports.

2. Are all your NAV background processes running? Most importantly, are
pping and eventengine running?

First, I'd like to know:

* What version of NAV are you running?
* Which OS (and which version of it) are you running?
* Which mod_python version is installed?
* Which cheetah version is installed?

Try "aptitude remove python-pysnmp4".

Ubuntu has a bug in its pysnmp packages. You've likely installed the package
python-pysnmp-se, which depends on python-pysnmp-common, which
recommends python-pysnmp4, so all of these get installed.

The python-pysnmp4 Ubuntu package conflicts with the other pysnmp
packages, causing it to overwrite parts of python-pysnmp-se, rendering
it unavailable for use.

Let me know how it goes :-)

I don't usually work with NAV on Ubuntu, so I might remember this issue
incorrectly. It could have been the python-pysnmp2 package that was to
blame.

Also, the damage caused by the offending package (since it overlaps with
the other packages' files) might not be reparable without a reinstall.

I'd try "aptitude remove python-pysnmp2", then "aptitude -R reinstall
python-pysnmp-se". The `-R` option tells aptitude to not treat
recommendations as dependencies.

Also, don't forget to restart Apache after this, so all the modules are
properly reloaded.

Appreciate your help.
That commands generate another error. And I think it will occuring again.

I thing I'll try to install NAV from scratch again and pay attention for
the installing order of python snmp package closely. Also I will try the
newest release of 3.8.2.
Will inform later.

Thks.

Hi,

I installed NAV 3.8.2 and the error persist. I think I can find the culprit.
Service ipdevpoll won't start with the error below (the other service
start well) :

Did I miss something here ?

If I remove the offending package ( I guess ) :

aptitude remove python-pysnmp2

It generate another error :

Is that any relation to python-pyasn1 package ?

dpkg -l | grep asn
ii libtasn1-3
2.2-1 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime)
ii libtasn1-3-dev
2.2-1 Manage ASN.1 structures (development)
ii python-pyasn1
0.0.8a-1 ASN.1 library for Python

The rest of python-pysnmp left :

dpkg -l | grep pysnmp
ii python-pysnmp-common
4.1.9a-1 Python SNMP library for agents and
managers
ii python-pysnmp-se
3.5.2-4 speed enhanced Python SNMP library for
agent

Thanks.

Royke,

I tried a quick hands-on session on a virtual Ubuntu 9.10 install and
found the following:

* `aptitude install python-pysnmp-se` pulls in the `python-pysnmp4`
package, but everything seems to work as expected.

* If I then do `aptitude install python-pysnmp2`, things stop
working. I.e. the bug is in the python-pysnmp2 package.

I found that removing the python-pysnmp2 package alone does not fix the
problem, since it overwrote files that belong to the
python-pysnmp-common package.

I followed up with `aptitude reinstall python-pysnmp-common`, and the
problem was solved.

Can you get things to work by repeating my steps?

Additional information to help other Ubuntu user installation,

For some unknown reason, python-pysnmp-se didn't pull the python-pysnmp4
package but installing python-pysnmp2 package.
So , this is what I did :

aptitude remove python-pysnmp2
aptitude install python-pysnmp4
aptitude reinstall python-pysnmp-common
