Hi,
I looked into this recently for someone else, and it doesn't seem possible for an NMS to externally learn what contexts to poll to reach the VRF data.
It seems to require everything to be configured manually on both the router *and* the NMS, which is, tbqh, totally insane.
I don't understand what was so difficult about just adding another index and/or OID to the existing MIBs. The context stuff is nearly useless due to its complexity and manual configuration overhead, as evidenced by no one using it.
There may be vendors which provide a table that gives us pollable context data, but I have not yet found one :)

Hi Adam,
this is not the answer I wanted hear, but understandable. Thanks for quick reply

Hi,
This is not currently possible (and is pretty difficult to make possible).
The decision to do VRF stuff inside contexts was a stupid one on the part of the vendors, since it's not easily possible to know what contexts exist as an NMS, so everything has to be manually configured. This, of course, is plain absurd.

Hi guys,
I`m not sure if this question was already answered or not, but I was asked to do research how Observium could monitor BGP peers inside the VRFs to alert us if any peer flaps or is down.
I can set up alert notification based on the syslog, but this module is sending emails only and doesn`t show notification on the main dashboard.
Do you have any idea if would be possible support snmp-context for every BGP peers in observium? Using SNMPv3 on all routers or how to display alerts on the dashboard based on syslog policy?
Thanks
Jan
