BGP Current Status Change

Question

Hello,

I'm currently monitoring my BGP status via bgp peer state (Universal Poller). I'm trying to change the Current State (established) to show bgp uptime.  Can someone please lead me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Frank S.

OBJECT NAME                                    CURRENT STATUS  LAST POLLED 
7204 Edge Router A                          established           1:10 PM

The Transform feature in the Universal Device Poller utility does not have any Time functions so I am not sure how you could transform this value in Week/Day/Min.

A T-SQL query could convert it but the functions are built-in and it is not possible to add your own functions.

It seems to be a feature request => Orion NPM Feature Requests

Morning Yann,

Thank you, that worked.  Should I now be able to convert the output into week/days/min, just like it would show if I type sh ip b s on the router?

OBJECT NAME             CURRENT STATUS     LAST POLLED 
7204 Edge Router A   3.045 M                    8:04 AM

Thanks again,

Frank S.

Hello,

I believe you need to create another UnDP to retrieve the following column results from the bgp peer state table:

BGP4-MIB:bgpPeerFsmEstablishedTime

OID     1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.16
Type     Gauge32
Units     
Access     read-only
Status     unknown

This timer indicates how long (in seconds) this peer has been in the Established state or how long since this peer was last in the Established state. It is set to zero when  a new peer is configured or the router is booted.

If you are using the "Tabular Universal Device Poller" resource, once setup your UnDP, edit the resource and select the new UnDP which should be in the list to be displayed on the view.

HTH,

Yann
