Send an email notification when default route is removed or when floating default is activated

Orion Platform HF3, NCM HF1, NPM HF3, NTA HF2, SAM HF3: 2020.2.6

Hi guys,

We have a primary link where the BGP routes get injected, including the default route.
Occasionally our BGP neighbour (we don't control it) stops injecting routes (no neighborship flap, it always stays UP), and we use a static floating default route as a backup via our secondary link.

We need email alerts to be sent either when the main default route gets removed from the table or perhaps we can send an email when the floating default is activated via a backup link.

What are the options SolarWinds has?

Thanks,
Myky

ohh, how did I miss that. Let me check it

Hmm. Will it work if BGP neighborship is up (not removed) and not flapping? It just simply we learn 0 prefixes from that neighbour.

fyi, I ended up creating a NetPath probe that monitors the P2P WAN interface on the core.
Based on its condition, there will be an email alert sent out.
