All About Zabbix BGP Monitoring

Zabbix is a well-known software tool that helps monitor IT infrastructure like networks, servers, virtual machines, and cloud services. Additionally, it can monitor BGP to ensure that the routing information is exchanged correctly and that the network is operating as expected as well.

All About Zabbix BGP Monitoring

In order to monitor BGP via Zabbix, we can use the SNMP protocol to collect data from BGP-enabled devices like routers or switches. We can easily configure Zabbix to use SNMP to query BGP devices and collect BGP-related data. This includes data like the number of BGP peers, the number of BGP routes, and the status of BGP sessions.

Furthermore, Zabbix offers several built-in templates for monitoring BGP. These templates include preconfigured SNMP items, triggers, and graphs. This helps us start monitoring BGP quickly. We can also create custom templates to monitor specific BGP-related metrics.

Let’s take a look at how we can monitor BGP using Zabbix:

  1. First, install and configure Zabbix on a server or VM with access to the network devices we want to monitor.
  2. Then, enable SNMP on the network devices that we want to monitor BGP.
  3. Next, add the BGP devices to Zabbix as hosts by navigating to Hosts under Configuration in the Zabbix web interface and clicking Create host button. We have to enter the hostname, IP address, as well as SNMP community string for the BGP device.
  4. After that, we have to configure SNMP items to monitor BGP. We can do this by navigating to Templates under Configuration and selecting the BGP template that we want to use.
  5. Now, we can create triggers and graphs for BGP monitoring By heading to the Monitoring tab.
  6. At this point, we can start monitoring BGP data, by heading to Latest Data under Monitoring.

Furthermore, we can set up notifications for any BGP-related issues by clicking Actions under Configuration.
