This check runs bgpctl show and checks that all bgp sessions are up.
sample outputs :
- Ok
$ check_openbgpd
CHECKBGPCTL OK - All bgp sessions in correct state | 'PEER-1'=529581;;;0
Sometimes you have some peer sessions in ignore state, and it 's not critical. Typically a session which depends on a slave carp interface. You have an option '--ignore-list', the plugin will take care if the session is in this list, and returns an 'OK' state for this session.
$ check_openbgpd --ignore-list PEER-2 OTHER-PEER
CHECKBGPCTL OK - All bgp sessions in correct state | 'PEER-1'=529581;;;0 'PEER-2'=0;;;0 'OTHER-PEER'=0;;;0
- Critical
Critical state is reached with first ignore session not escaped in the optionnal '--ignore-list'
$ check_openbgpd
CHECKBGPCTL CRITICAL - OTHER-PEER is U (outside range 0:) | 'PEER-1'=529918;;;0 'OTHER-PEER'=U;;;0
- Unknown
if an error occured during the check, the plugin raises a check error, which returns an UNKNOWN state.
typically UNKNOWN causes
- OpenBGPD is not running
CHECKBGPCTL UNKNOWN - host.domain.tld bgpctl: connect: /var/run/bgpd.sock: No such file or directory
- you're not in the wheel group, and can't read the bgpctl sosk
CHECKBGPCTL UNKNOWN - host.domain.tld bgpctl: connect: /var/run/bgpd.sock: Permission denied
doas is your friend to run this plugin with an unprivileged user. A sample config here
permit nopass icinga as root cmd /usr/local/bin/check_openbgpd
extract the tarball and :
python setup.py install
Maybe you have installed setuptools with :
pkg_add py-setuptools
then just :
easy_install checkopenbgpd
check_openbgpd is located at /usr/local/bin/check_openbgpd
check_openbgpd could be called localy or remotely via check_by_ssh or NRPE.
check_by_ssh
here a sample definition to check remotely by ssh
Command definition :
define command{
command_name check_ssh_bgpctl
command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -i /var/spool/icinga/.ssh/id_rsa -C "sudo /usr/local/bin/check_openbgpd --ignore-list $ARG1$"
}
the service itself :
define service{
use my-service
host_name hostname
service_description bgpctl
check_command check_ssh_bgpctl!
}
icinga2 command :
object CheckCommand "openbgpd" {
import "plugin-check-command"
import "ipv4-or-ipv6"
command = [ PluginDir + "/check_by_ssh" ]
arguments = {
"-H" = "$openbgpd_address$"
"-i" = "$ssh_id$"
"-p" = "$ssh_port$"
"-C" = "$ssh_command$"
}
vars.openbgpd_address = "$check_address$"
vars.ssh_id = "/var/spool/icinga/.ssh/id_rsa"
vars.ssh_port = "$vars.ssh_port$"
vars.ssh_command = "sudo /usr/local/bin/check_openbgpd"
}
icinga2 service :
apply Service "openbgpd" {
check_command = "openbgpd"
assign where host.name == "hostname"
}
NRPE
add this line to /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg :
...
command[check_openbgpd]=/usr/local/bin/check_openbgpd
...
nagios command definition :
define command{
command_name check_nrpe_bgpctl
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_openbgpd -a "--ignore-list $ARGS1"
}
the service itself :
define service{
use my-service
host_name hostname
service_description bgpctl
check_command check_nrpe_bgpctl!
