Monitoring BGP Neighbor Relationships

At the moment, we have an alert setup in NPM to notify if a BGP neighbor relationship goes down. This is good for during the day when our team are monitoring their email but at night when it's only our GOC monitoring the frontpage of Solarwinds, it's useless. We have a box setup at the moment, that links to the "BGP Neighbor Relationships Down" (in the past 3 days) report, but this shows BGP Neighbor Relationships that have come back up as well.

Is there a way to setup an information box on the front page that contains a list of currently down BGP Neighbor Relationships?

  • We were able to fix this by using the following Trigger and Reset conditions:

    That may not fix everything you're looking for, but for us it got rid of the BGP Down alerts hanging around hours after the neighbor relations had been re-established.

    Obviously - ignore the node and IP exclusions that were specific to our network.

  • You can accomplish what you are looking to do by using a Custom Table.  I'd love to see the query you use that satisfies your needs if you could share when you are done emoticons_happy.png
