This sounds like something BMP might be useful for. I haven't used it, but I would look at OpenBMP (https://github.com/SNAS/openbmp) as a starting point. I'm not familiar with what commercial offerings are out there, but I'm sure there are some.

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
