Yes, I think this is something perhaps better solved by us improving our syslog support, and then doing regexp matches.

Since OSPF sessions aren't stateful and are kinda transient, it's difficult to build rules and have static alert entries for.

That's why I knew it would be difficult.

I was thinking if you could define a list, you could alert if entries were missing from that list. I haven't been able to think of any other way to do it.

It's looking like I'll have to do some syslog parsing as suggested by Colin.

Thanks,

Once a neighbour disappears, it disappears, there's nothing to alert on anymore.

I've had a think about this..
As it's not BGP, you can't alert on peer state, but if you define a neighbour's via entity match, such as "router-id match 10.10.*", you could do a "exists eq true" for the test, or "status eq full"

ISIS would be pretty much the same as OSPF


Thoughts?

How would one go about alerting for these?

The problem we have with most of the things we don't currently alert on is simply that it's not obvious *how* we should alert on them.

Are there any plans to add an alert checker for OSPF/IGP Neighbor state changes? The BGP alerts checkers are great, however I'm looking for a similar thing for IGP.

Alternatively,
Does anyone know of a solution for alerting IGP neighbour state changes? I have 100-200 routers I would need to monitor.

Thanks in advance,

Ben
