Custom Table for OSPF

I have created a Custom Table to monitor OSPF Neighbors from my Juniper SRX devices. My Columns are "Protocol Status", "Neighbor IP", and Neighbor ID. The Status and Neighbor IP are displaying what I need. But the Neighbor ID displays a number that I don't know what it represents from the Neighbor device. What I want to see is the Hostname of that Neighbor Router. Is there a way to pull that information or set the Hostname of the Neighbor router in the OSPF configuration?

If the device supplies it via SNMP then there is likely an OID that stores that, and in which case you'd probably need to use an UnDP to query the OID. I can't help with any OSPF config though for teh other part of your query.

@foper, can you share a screenshot of the table data source you are working with? It'll make it easier to dissect what edits if any are needed to it. Are you monitoring both nodes (source and neighbor)? I ask because if you are then getting it to show the neighbor should be fairly straightforward. High level, we would just tell it to go look for the caption of the neighbor IP and display it. If you are not monitoring both sides then you'd have to do what @stuartd suggested.

Thank you both for your responses. My SW is offline (on a non-internet network). The table is pretty simple. The data sources are my deployed routers. In the "columns" I select "Routing Neighbors" and add in "Protocol Orion Status", "Neighbor IP", and "Neighbor ID". So, for that device it shows all of the neighbors that have been established by IP. What I want to view is the neighbor hostname as well. I assumed the "Neighbor ID" would display that, but it displays a number. I don't know what they number is associated with on the neighbor router. Looks like I'll have to go the route stuartd suggested.

Thanks again.

@foper, is this what your report or table data source looks like?

@foper, take a look at this custom query found in the Content Exchange - Routing Neighbors for a Single Node. It should have all the basics you want in there, the first modification off the bat I can think of would be to remove the WHERE clause limiting it to a single NodeID.
