Monitoring BGP sessions status

lion_han · Post by **lion_han** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 1:16 am

Hello guys!
I need your help...! Is there any opportunity to monitor the status of BGP sessions (up or down), i mean if my BGP peer is down how can I know or monitor it? Also, is it possible to figure out it using graphics?

Thanks in advance!

Up/Down would be a binary status. Cacti as an rrdtool frontend will only be able to graph numbers. So if you write a wrapper script that converts up to 1 and down to 0, cacti will graph it. See first link of my signature for walkthroughs

Hi, here are some templates you can use (0.86j) to graph the BGP peering status on your router.

Please give me your feedback on this one so I can improve it if needed!!

What version of Cacti are you running ? These templates were exported using Cacti 0.8.6j.

Here is a slightly modified version that adds Peer Uptime and Peer Flaps (transitions to established state since reboot). Includes a CDEF for converting seconds to hours

cheers,

This works cross platform. Could take the Cisco off

To add Go to device > THen your device > Associated Data Queries > Add Data Query: add

Then add graphs you should see it there

True, it's a standard MIB not Cisco specific.

Guys, i know how to add this template to my Cisco device, but i can't import it due to my old 0.8.6h cacti version on one machine.

I'm getting back Error: XML: Hash version does not exist when importing the template.

Sorry I have no idea how to make it work on the old version. Have you considered upgrading?
