Cisco IP Sla

Author Peter Kok
Compatibility Xymon 4.3.0
Requirements net-snmp-utils
Download None
Last Update 2013-04-16

this check will test the status of the ip sla command on cisco equipment to locate connectivity issues in a network. It was created especially to test the icmp-echo option but other tests will probably also work.

See screenshot for the output of the test:

Server side

Copy paste the script to $BBHOME/ext/ip-sla.sh Don´t forget to change the COMMUNITY variable if needed!

Add the lines below to your hobbitlaunch.cfg

[sla]
        ENVFILE $BBHOME/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/ip-sla.sh
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/ip-sla.log
        INTERVAL 5m

Configure a cisco device with an ip sla check

conf t
 ip sla 3
  icmp-echo 172.16.1.2
   threshold 200
   tag iBGP
 ip sla schedule 3 life forever start-time now

Now all you have to do is configure ip sla on your cisco equipment and add the tag sla after the host you want to monitor in your bb-hosts file

# Description: this check will test the status of the ip sla command on cisco equipment to locate connectivity issues in a network. It was created especially to test the icmp-echo option but other tests will probably also work.
#
# An example of a icmp-echo test below. You can configure a tag so xymon can use is to describe what is being tested:
# ip sla 3
#  icmp-echo 172.16.1.2
#   threshold 200
#   tag iBGP
# ip sla schedule 3 life forever start-time now
#
# the check will display "Index: 3      RTT: 1  Threshold: 200  Status: ok      Tag: iBGP" in xymon
