Hi
We have observium v19.4.9840 (rolling) setup and working great with
alerting for BGP sessions going down. For BGP sessions with public
AS Numbers this works well as it shows up which AS number and who
the AS number is assigned to as gone down:
But when its a private AS number with a private IP, its then much
harder to distinguish what the BGP neighbor is related to without
logging into the router and looking at the neighbor and the neighbor
descriptions set against the BGP neighbor:
In most routers you can set a description against a BGP neighbor in
the config. Is it possible to get this description attached to the
BGP neighbor in observium thus then adding it to the alert when the
BGP neighbor goes down?
This is the config on a Cisco ASR9K for the above neighbor:
router bgp 65000 neighbor 100.127.18.181 description USG1-GREE
Could this description be pulled and added to the neighbor and
thus alert? More than happy to provide some debug if required and
any SNMP data that might be helpful.
Many Thanks
Richard
