not that I am aware of; but I have kind of prepared it :) the way to go is pbly: -restricted control socket (bgpd -r) -use "bgpctl show summary terse" (use restricted socket of course), this is made to be easily parsable -us a superserver like inetd to run the above on some weird port that your firewall so only you nagios host(s) can reach it rest is straightforward. could pbly also use nrpe on the router and have it run the above bgpctl command; I don't trust nagios + nrpe code too much tho (now, that was very nicely and diplomatic put, no?) -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
