We're trying to get an alert check set up to alert us when a BGP peer is down, but it seems like no matter how we configure it the alert never triggers.
Any help?
Thanks!
Spencer

Works for me like this :

$config['alerts']['email']['default'] = “you.email@adress.com"; ## Default alert recipient $config['alerts']['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; ## Only use default recipient $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE; ## Enable email alerts $config['uptime_warning'] = "84600"; $config['alerts']['port']['ifdown'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['port']['ifdown_types'] = array('core', 'transit', 'peering'); $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE;

This works on Cisco,
On JunOS, it only works with IPv6 sessions so it seems, IPv4 sessions seem to have a different condition to check?

On IPv4 bgpPeerAdminStatus will be ³start² and on IPv6 it¹s ³running²
@Adam, is there any way to differentiate in the check between Ipv4 & IPv6 bgp sessions?

Thank you Adam.
I was using eq and ne (http://www.observium.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alert_Checker )
Instead of equals and notequals. That was the issue.

Hi,
I'm also trying to figure out BGP alerting through email notification but I'm only using the free version. The configuration shown below should be in alert.php config file?
