Hi,

I would like to configure to configure Watch to poll for changes in OSPF neighbors. Traps traps in my case is not an option.

For example (configuring watch on Router Application) I would like to have alarm if neighbor disappears or new neighbor appliers.

I was able to configure watch if a neighbor Value changes but don’t know how to configure watch if a neighbor disappears (there nothing to watch so I don’t get alarms).

Ospf neighbors are in a list/table, is it possible to watch for changes in that list/table?

Thanks.

I'm not sure how well this would work, but you could try creating a watch that logs the list/table, then create another watch that does a diff on the first watch.  If any of the values change, then it would trigger an alarm.

Cheers

Jay

I am think this could be easier using CLI script instead of SpectroWATCH. With CLI script we can use "./show attributes" command to get the ospfNbrState table entries and compare them to expected value. If any entry is missing then we can use "./create event" to raise event/alarm.

We can register the CLI script as a cron job (on Linux), or Task Scheduler (on Windows) so it runs periodically.

Thanks for answers, Widjaja, I think your suggestion would work but it is work around and we would prefer configure everything from One Click.

Jason, I like your suggestion, but I have no idea how to create watch which logs list/table. Maybe someone can share some examples.

Thanks,
