NNM9i - custom poller - specific bgppeerstate

MigrationDeletedUser
Hi,
I want to be able to check every 15 minutes on the bgppeerstate of an connection ipaddr 10.10.10.3 and if the state is not 6 generate an Incident. I do not want to check all nodes in a node group and all instances on them if possible.

This was a simple task in nnm7 with data collection - but I am just not getting to grips with it in nnm9.

Can someone give me an helping hand?

regards,
Siggi

    Siggi,

    We are running NNMi 8.13 but I'm sure custom poller has to be very similar concept. Here is what you can try:

    First, setup a custom poller collection with: MIB Poll Variable = bgpPeerState OID
    MIB Filter Variable = you might have to double check but I think you want the bgpPeerLocalAddr OID

    Then, set up a comparison map like this:
    Order 1; polled value = 6; state mapping = Normal
    Order 2; polled value != 6; state mapping = Critical

    Now you can save your collection and set up a policy for it:
    Map your policy to the collection you just created and specify the node group where your node belongs (or create a new node group with just this node in it). Then, in the MIB Filter, you should put your 10.10.10.3 or whatever value corresponds to your bgpPeerLocalAddr MIB Filter entry.

    I have done something very similar and it works great! Only difference is we filter based on bgpPeerAdminStatus = 2 which I don't think is your goal.

    Hope this helps.
