In response to those of you who were asking about my ascend grf bgp
monitor, in cleaning it up, I decided to do a rewrite and turn it into a
bgpmon replacement; the version I'm working on support both grf's and
ciscos, and just about any other router than can do a bgp summary (you can
set up comprehension definitions in the config).
The replacement supports the following other features...
- Allows both one-line-per-peer configuration, or a 'batch' configuration
where you specify the router address, and bgpmon grabs all the peernames
from the summary and posts them as individual entries (very useful for
routers with hundreds of peers)
- Allows severity changes based on as number
- reports the router (or as number - toggleable) as part of the variable
name
- nocollib.pl compatible (unlike my last messy version)
- allows different passwords/router types in one config
I'll be finished with it probably tonight or tomorrow; my wife just gave
birth, so I've been working from home on my 28.8, which feels like a 2400
baud in the rain.
Thank you,
