Nagios Support Forum

Any ideas on the BPI setup? That would also solve our issue but I need to know if it will be manageable. It would not be supportable if we had to re-do relationships on 100 routers if we had a change. It would be awesome if that could be done via API.

Thanks! Yep, that seems useful.

For BPI, the wizard used to reset the whole BPI configuration for all devices. Is there a way to build the BPI configuration manually as that may also work as a solution.

Thanks!

Yes, you are correct. There is a 1:1 relationship between circuit IDs and physical interfaces. Here would be one such example: Config Name Service Description arlington-bk-f1 Ping arlington-bk-f1 SNMP Traps arlington-bk-r1 BDI911 LAN gateway Bandwidth arlington-bk-r1 BDI911 LAN gateway Status arling...

You raise an interesting question. I thought Nagios would only alert on the interface name or description (which are the 2 options in the router/switch wizard) so the description is used so we can get the circuit ID. I do some rewrites on traps to get better descriptions there so is it possible to p...

No worries! I have been trying to figure out a way to implement templates but have not come up with anything yet. Thanks!

I am not sure how to answer your question but here is the process: We use the configuration router/switch wizard to discover the device and then we remove anything that is not needed in the discovery so we are left with [router][interface][circuit name] for each physical and logical interface. I am ...

Also, I have tried BPI but if I ever needed to make a change, the whole BPI config would be wiped and I would need to start from scratch so that was not supportable. If that issue has been fixed, that may be an option.

We are managing routers and the checks are for physical interfaces with circuit IDs. The checks must return the circuit ID or the monitoring team won't be able to distinguish which device to submit the ticket. I have found no way to generalize that unfortunately. A typical device looks like this: Ca...

My bulk changes were not working even though you could run through the change and apply successfully. I found that if I wrote the config files and clicked verify, the verify failed. I was able to fix that problem and once that was fixed, bulk changes worked again. Specifically, a contact did not hav...
