Netonix Manager / Control Software

[Eric Stern]

We finally got it installed and is working but the interface is extremely buggy on the debian server. Of course 1.0.0rc9 came out a day later that we upgraded to. No change in the bugginess of the web interface. The crash error notice always stays on top even if you click on the link to send the crash report.

If you can be more specific I can look into it.

I very much appreciate the netonix manager application for firmware upgrades. It certainly saves me a lot of scripting time and maintenance. I have experienced one problem with it at this point. Not all devices will show on the devices tab. I have over 20 switches but at the moment only 3 show up. They are in the database because I show the devices added in the log and I cannot add the same ip again as it states it already exists. I have tried chrome and firefox with the same result. I have also reinstalled netonix manager and node.js but the database still stays (I cannot determine where the info is located because when I reinstall, everything is still there). Any ideas?

This is what I have, make sure your switches are either on 1.3.9 or above.

Or disable Monitoring. Then they all show up.


Thanks

not bad :) scheduled firmware updates is nice. Would love to see some charts for throughput in here. maybe some event triggers so you could see if a port is bouncing etc.

@Chris -

I have one switch that keeps trigger an 'offline' event. I don't see anywhere to customize how many 'unreachable' events happen before it is marked 'offline'. I'm not dropping any packets through this switch back to our gateway where the control software is, and all switches on the network are running 1.4.0rc25, but this one keeps triggering an offline event and I get an email.

I am not sure Tony? But then again I run the Linux version which I do not have that issue.

I guess keep trying to figure out what is causing the issue and we can fix it.

I know someone else was running a windows version and had to disable something to get it working right.

Anybody else have luck figuring this glitch out?

Ours is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (same box as our AirControl 1 system). There are 9 switches (8 @ WS-12-250-AC, 1 @ WS-8-250-DC) all running 1.4.2 on the system but only two of them have this issue (both uncooperative ones are WS-12-250-AC).

The pattern in the log shows 'online' with 'offline' 11 seconds later... followed by 'online' 4 seconds later (repeating). Both switches ping consistently with no dropouts (mostly < 1 ms with an occasional uptick to a a few milliseconds - but very stable).

Worst-case I suppose I can turn off 'monitor' on those two until I figure it out.

When I first set it up I had email enabled and was all like this..

...then I got 125 emails ("Jane stop this crazy thing!).

The manager is unable to connect to the webserver on the switch (HTTPS 443 unless you changed it). The manager makes the initial connection to the switch over SSH, which is working and why it comes online. After the initial connection it switches to using HTTPS to get stats from the switch because its much faster. But the HTTPS connection is failing so the switch goes offline. Next time around it tries SSH again which will work, and you get this loop.

So something is preventing the manager from making an HTTPS connection to the switch.

I've changed the logging for the next version to make it more informative if this happens again.

[sakita]

Thanks for the explanation. I'll have to dig a bit deeper to figure out why just https would be intermittent.

Interestingly I went into the those two switches and double-checked the settings and verified the password and then re-enabled monitoring... no glitches with those two for now.

Definitely some digging to do on this end...

It would be great if when you scroll further down the list the toolbar with upgrade, open web UI etc scrolled with it.

We have 40+ Switches on there and scrolling back an forth can be time consuming.

Thanks

Thanks for implementing that last change

In case you didn't know the click to sort fields don't work any longer on RC12.

Thanks

Also would it be possible to have a search box at the top to be able to search by Name, Firmware etc?

Thanks

The current version is broke but you used to be able to click on the column headers and sort based on that column. I am pretty sure Eric will fix this on the next version.

However with that said simply press CTRL + F and use the browser search feature
