Route table monitoring

We have telco providers whereby we do not have telnet access to their routers but we do have snmp read access. Most of the time we can determine the cause of the problem by using the IP browser that ships with the Engineers edition to troubleshoot a problem i.e. a routing change. Two things, is it possible that the IP browser could be integrated into Orion? or better still be able to constantly monitor the routing table then if it changes be able to see the changes? As an example SNMPc was capable of doing this and was a very nice feature.

Thanks

Still no support from Orion NPM for tracking route changes?

Can you not accomplish this using the UnDP?

kdtree

Thanks. Using UnDP, I can poll the routing changes. But this has to be done device by device. Also, is there any way I can correlate routing change with other events, e.g. server unreachable?

Hmmm, I am thinking about this, but nothing I can think of off the top of my head. Anyone in the community have any thoughts?

I am just starting to use NPM in my environment and anyone can correct me but it should be possible if I understand your question.

After you create the UnDP and assign it to all of the devices to be polled you can create an alert trigger, or more then one, that fires off when certain criteria are met. In other words.

Trigger Condition:

Trigger Alert when all of the following apply
Node Status is equal to Down
Route* has changed (*Not sure of the syntax here)

You can have as many criteria as you want. Add to that the ability to create custom fields and you can alert based on that as well.

I have an alert right now that fires when a node goes down if it is a unix box. That's a simple example.

Hope that helps.
