Nagios Support Forum

Also getting this at the CLI:

[root@nagios /]# su nagios -c "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_bgp.pl -H 192.168.98.6 -C community -p 38.104.236.9"
bash: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_bgp.pl: /usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[root@nagios /]#

This can happen if you edited the file on a windows machine and now have windows line endings

Run

ok that was it, all is well on the BGP front, except.......

I had another that i wanted to monitor, so i copied the first, made the name and ip address changes.
It is going on the same router, but when i apply config, then look at the list, the new one says sync missed

Any ideas?

Thanks again, great help.

When you copy one, you will keed to rename it to remove the () and you will also need to check the "active" box.

I did rename it and the active box is checked.

ok, i went back and looked at everything, I did miss the active box.
Sorry.

All is well, sort of
I have some bgp peers on vrf, they are like routers within routers, any ideas on how i would go about monitoring them?

Thanks again for all the help. it is really appreciated.

the command to view the bgp summary for vrf is:

show ip bgp vrf (vrf instance name) summary

Do these routers within routers have their own IP and SNMP setup?
You may be able to use the same plugin changing the host (IP) and community string

They use the same community name and ip address,

If it is the same SNMP server, then you likely just need to change the peer namr ($ARG2$ I believe) although I am not familiar with the hardware you are using.

You may need to try walking the snmp tree to see if you can find the data you need to monitor.
