Has anyone successfully been able to monitor BGP sessions on Vyatta 6.1?
I know Vyatta supports the BGP4-MIB, does Observium?
Thanks,
John

BGP4-MIB is missing most of the information you'd want if you were polling it. The useful stuff is in CISCO-BGP4-MIB and JUNIPER-BGP4-MIB.
We support the bits of it that we need, but only for Cisco/Juniper hosts at the moment.
It probably wouldn't be too hard to modify for Vyatta, though.

I added a Vyatta device, it only sees 12 sessions out of 110 or so, so thats a little odd...

Hmm. I don't remember quite how that code works now, it was so long ago...
Perhaps do a walk of the BGP4-MIB tree and see if there's anything obvious?

My results are below.
However, if I do a specific walk on the a peer that doesn't show, I do get a result:
snmpwalk -v2c -c comm 1.1.1.1 BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.y.y.y.y BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.y.y.y.y = INTEGER: established(6)
I thought this may be a Vyatta bug, however the folks on the Vyatta forum said it appears to be a limit with certain snmp utilities and the number of entries they return following a walk. I get the same peers in the below examples appearing in Observium. Is there a way I can pull them all? I would obviously like it to catch new peers and removed old peers as it should...
Vyatta Install A - Total number of neighbors 109
BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState reports 13 Peers:
snmpwalk -v2c -c comm 1.1.1.1 BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: active(3) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: idle(1) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: idle(1) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: idle(1) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: idle(1) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6)
Vyatta Install B - Total number of neighbors 70
BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState reports 12 Peers:
snmpwalk -v2c -c comm 2.2.2.2 BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: active(3) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: active(3) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: active(3) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: active(3) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: active(3) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: active(3) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: idle(1) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: idle(1) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: established(6) BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerState.x.x.x.x = INTEGER: connect(2)
