Hi Tony,

I think the most obvious route would be to find a Nagios plugin that does what you want, and then adding it to Observium.

Observium has some native alerting capability gaps and relies on nagios plugins to cover them, one being handling this sort of "transient" state.

The two EIGRP plugins I can see are absolutely ancient though, so I'm not sure how well they'll still work.

hi, I am hoping someone can give me some suggestions on how to alert when my Cisco router's interface is up/up but the other side is not responding.  I just discovered that I have been running on a backup line for a while at one site and did not know it because the primary link did not go "down"

is there anything I can do with monitoring eigrp peers etc.  It did occur to me that if I set up an sla on the router, I might be able to leverage that, but I would like a solution that did not involve more config on the router.

thanks in advance
