has anybody wrote a nagios plugin to check the presence of some
specified bgp-peers set up with openbgpd?
not that I am aware of; but I have kind of prepared it :)
the way to go is pbly:
-restricted control socket (bgpd -r)
-use bgpctl show summary terse (use restricted socket of course), this
is made to be easily parsable
-us a superserver like inetd to run the above on some weird port that
your firewall so only you nagios host(s) can reach it
rest is straightforward. could pbly also use nrpe on the router and
have it run the above bgpctl command; I don't trust nagios + nrpe code
too much tho (now, that was very nicely and diplomatic put, no?)
