Monitoring BGP sessions

Hi all,

I looked for a solution to monitor BGP sessions in SW but I not found no a concrete solution. Someone has implemented this monitoring with alerts?

I need that when a session is down, send me an alert by e-mail.

Thanks!!

This is what I do for the overall status of Routing Neighbors on a node:

(NPM 11.5, but worked with previous releases too)

Hi Richard,

that is probably something I'm looking for - just got a question regarding monitoring BGP sessions (BGP session status and nr of prefixes for neighbours on BGP sessions). Do you think I can make poller on particular OID with device Studio?

We were able to do this with our Cisco Routers using a custom poller and OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2 It will return the data in a numeric format of 1-6. I have alerts setup on Custom Table Poller status, that if BGP is not equal to 6 for greater than X minutes it will send an alert.

1 = Idle

2 = Connect

3 = Active

4 = Opensnet

5 = OpenConfirm

6 = Established

Thank you planning on using this for alerting!

Only downside with this alerting is that you won't detect flapping links.

I'm still using syslog alerts. That way they are instant rather than waiting for the alert to be polled.
