Description

Monitors the cumulative statistics like the total number of Area Border Routers reachable within this area, the total number of Autonomous System Border Routers reachable within this area, the number of times that the intra-area route table has been calculated using this area’s link state database, the total number of link state advertisements in this area’s link state database, excluding AS-external LSAs of one of the router’s attached areas and also neighbor statistics like neighbor state, events count and re transmission queue length.

Prerequisites

SNMP should be enabled in end device and device should support OSPF-MIB OIDs and SNMP credentials should be attached against the device in portal.

How to Apply: This template is All instance selection based. It will not ask user to select any instance(s) while assigning it to a device.

Metric Parameters

Metric Parameters
ParameterDescription
Frequency
  • Frequency is the interval in which you want to probe and collect metric data from the target device/resource
  • Frequency is defined in minutes (min).
    • Warning ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Warning Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    Critical ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Critical Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    AlertThe alert value can be set to either Yes or No. If it is Yes, then an alert message is sent to the user.
