Hello,
Our network engineers have a question about how Observium handles BGP sessions in multiple VRFs:
On IOSXR devices where we use mutliple VRFs, we are unable to monitor BGP sessions outside of the global routing table. In the global routing table only the bgp sessions to the route reflectors are visible. We would like to also be able to monitor bgp sessions in a different vrf. Going through the documentation we have added the commands for IOSXR to map a context to the vrf feature - but this does not appear to be working for bgp. We can create snmp contexts and map them to a different community to monitor those vrfs that we would like to include. BUT it appears that in order to utilize them we would have to add the host twice in observium. I tried doing this with a dns alias but it doesn't like that because it finds a conflicting snmp hostname. As a workaround we are monitoring that context in librenms and it's working.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
