[c-nsp] nagios monitor bgp peer pluggin?

[Dan Martin]

When you lose a bgp peer you'll get a trap and a syslog message.

The problem is that if you accept the defaults you'll get that trap and
syslog message around 4 minutes after the loss occurs.  

I drove by a bgp fast peer setting or something or other that will let
you change that.

The routes will be updated the second the peer is gone but the peer
won't go away unless you change that default.

So if you had something that listened to bgp updates, like quagga or
zebra and were able to read its log file, and were able to make some
sense of the messages in the context of your network, you would be fine.

I think there is a certain amount of freeware out there that does that.

If you want to buy your way out of the problem that is another issue.

Anybody use or have a pluggin for nagios that checks the status of bgp 
peer/neighbors?  I found one by a university but just like almost every 
other pluggin i've found for cisco equipment it doesnt work.  I'm
monitoring 
a 7200 VXR and a 3750
