Agreed.  We have BGP peers that are setup prior to the customer connecting.  There are occasions that the customer or us do not get everything checked out correctly and I was just looking for a way to notify is a peer was in the up state but not fully established.  If this is correct, then I will have to figure out why part of Observium is showing a start active/idle state, but not alerting, as shown in the previous screenshot.  All my other alerts seem to be working fine.  I figured I just did something wrong on this one.

Thanks,

Aaron

I use that same alert and it works for me.

If I have sessions that are administratively disabled in the config that do not alert. If you sessions are admin down and you want to ignore them you have to do “neighbor shutdown” on your router config.

Team, I have tried many options based on the feedback I have gotten, but not luck.  Here is my current alert setting.


Any guidance?

Here is an example from the BGP page in Observium.  I am looking to only alert on the Peers that are Start and not established.  The peers that are in a stop state I am not interested in.

Thanks,

Aaron

I will try again, it seems to show me both Admin down and up peers.

This works for us:

Team, I need some guidance.  I have spent some time on the web trying to find examples of how to configure a alert checker to tell me when a BGP peer is Admin up but not working.  We have quite a few peers in our environment that are Admin down and I just want to ignore those.  I have tried many variations of the checker, but must be missing something.  Here is a screenshot of the latest attempt.

My device and entity match are set to “*”.  If I change the condition or any instead of all, I seem to get alerts that are not correct as they are including peer states that are admin down.  

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
