Can SevOne do BGP prefix monitoring similar to bgpmon/crossworks that will alert you if on of your prefixes has been withdrawn from the internet?

Hi Mark

Although specific prefix monitoring is not a feature available in SevOne, we could monitor it with a few restrictions using SNMP.

By default SevOne is able to monitor the total number of prefixes accepted, denied, advertised....and that is normally enough in most situations. If, on top of that, we add SevOne's capability to detect anomalies, we have a powerful way to detect reachability problems due to missing BGP prefixes.

But I'd what you are interested is just one single prefix, we still have the option to monitor it using the integration between SevOne and Rapid Network Automation ( SevOne Automated Network Observability, or SANO). With this bundle you could execute a CLI command to get the status of the BGP prefix and store the result in SevOne. Once we have that data in SevOne we can alert when something goes wrong, or, as mentioned before, when we detect an anomaly on the behaviour of that metric.

As I always say, even if SevOne does not monitor everything out of the box, as long as the times series data is available in some kind of format/protocol, SANO will be able to monitor it with some tweaking.

Please let me know if you want to discuss this further.

That's good stuff, and if I am following correctly you would be executing cli commands to gather what a local router is doing.  I don't think that is exactly what we are looking for.  Tools like BGPMON, now part of Crossworks, monitors prefixes via multiple looking glasses throughout the world and sends a notification if a prefix is withdrawn from the internet.

Now, maybe there is a way to script this in SevOne to grab commands from open looking glasses out there?
