Disclosure - I work for Blue Planet. Blue Planet, a division of Ciena, has Route Optimization and Analysis, a product that provides visibility into IP/MPLS networks and IGP/BGP routing. Its routing alerts include peering state change, prefix state change, path change, alerts for when number of non-baseline BGP peers are above or below a threshold, etc. It may have something to cover your use case. https://www.blueplanet.com/products/route-optimization.html Thanks, Don - Don Thomas Jacob LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/donthomasjacob/> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/DonThomasJacob> On Thu, Jan 6, 2022 at 7:19 PM Sandoiu Mihai <Mihai.Sandoiu@wwz.ch> wrote:
Hi
I am looking for a route monitoring product that does the following:
-checks if a specific bgp route from a specific neighbor is present the BGP table (in some vrf, not necessarily internet routed vrf) of an ASR9K running IOS XR
-sends a syslog message or an alarm if the route goes missing
The use case is the following: we are receiving same routes over 2 or more bgp peerings, due to best route we cannot really see at the moment if one of the routes ceased to be received over a certain peering.
Alternative approach: a product that measures the number of bgp received prefixes from a certain peer.
Do you know of such product that is readily available and does not require ssh sessions to the routers and parsing the outputs?
I am trying to find a solution that does not require much scripting or customization.
Many thanks.
Regards
Mihai
