check_openbgpd - checks status of OpenBGPd peers The only real caveat with it is that bgpctl needs rw permission to /var/run/bgpd.sock. One way to allow for that is by adding an entry to /etc/sudoers and then making the check run sudo check_openbgpd. This is an example of a setup for NRPE. For checks on the machine running Nagios, use the _nagios user in /etc/sudoers instead of _nrpe, and of course, no ${SYSCONFDIR}/nrpe.cfg. /etc/sudoers: _nrpe ALL=NOPASSWD:${PREFIX}/libexec/nagios/check_openbgpd -w 1000\:300000 -c 100\:500000 -n peer1 peer2 peer3 ${SYSCONFDIR}/nrpe.cfg: command[check_openbgpd]=/usr/bin/sudo ${PREFIX}/libexec/nagios/check_openbgpd -w 1000:300000 -c 100:500000 -n peer1 peer2 peer3 For more information on bgpd(8) see the OpenBSD man page. http://www.openbsd.org $RedRiver$
