Monitoring routes from Nagios
Hi What approach do you have for monitoring routing status in your environments? We've got OSPF set up between our sites (offices and data centres) and BGP for uplinks from some sites. I want to monitor by Nagios that everything is as expected. For example: - BGP feeds from ISPs look sane (e.g. include 0.0.0.0/0 - as that's what we are interested in) - configured OSPF peers are all connected - ... what else? I can write some scripts to parse "birdc show ..." output and feed that into Nagios but perhaps someone has a better way to do that? Thanks! Michael
Hi Michael, Apparently the only way is parsing birdc or bird.ctl socket output. Its not a complicated task, perl with a few regexps should do the trick. В Вт, 29/03/2016 в 10:56 +1300, Michael Ludvig пишет:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 We use this kind script http://pastebin.com/6kuQSPC1 It check ospf neighbors and diff it to know good state. If neighbor is lost it give critical error and provide diff as message. If there is new neigbors it give warning. Probably not most beautiful way to do it but it serve our needs well. 29.3.2016, 16:07, Stanislaw Datskevich kirjoitti:

Thanks, that's a good starting point. Michael
