usage
-------

This check runs *bgpctl show* and check that all bgp sessions are up.


sample outputs :

+ Ok


::

$ check_openbgpd
CHECKBGPCTL OK - PEER-1 is 0 | 'PEER-1'=529581;;;0


Sometimes you have some peer sessions in idle state, and it 's not critical. Typically a session which depends on a slave carp interface. You have an option '--idle-list', the plugin will take care if the session is in this list, and returns an 'OK' state for this session.

::

$ check_openbgpd --idle-list PEER-2 OTHER-PEER
CHECKBGPCTL OK - PEER-2 is 0 | 'PEER-1'=529581;;;0 'PEER-2'=0;;;0 'OTHER-PEER'=0;;;0



+ Critical

Critical state is reached with first idle session not escaped in the optionnal '--idle-list'

::

$ check_openbgpd
CHECKBGPCTL CRITICAL - OTHER-PEER is None (outside range 0:) | 'PEER-1'=529918;;;0 'OTHER-PEER'=None;;;0


+ Unknown

if an error occured during the check, the plugin raises a check error, which returns an UNKNOWN state.

typically UNKNOWN causes

CHECKBGPCTL UNKNOWN - host.domain.tld bgpctl: connect: /var/run/bgpd.sock: No such file or directory
