OSPF Neighbor Adjacency State (Service Check)

Service Check Category: Network Connectivity Checks

Passive Check: No

Description: This service check queries if any of the OSPF neighbors of the device it is assigned to are not in a "Full" state, based on the states for OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.10.1.6 "ospfNbrEntry".

If any of the entries for that OID are not providing an "8" for the response, the check becomes critical. If this occurs it will return the full list of neighbor IP addresses (that are not in the "Full" state) along with their current state.

This check references OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.10.1.1 (ospfNbrEntry) to determine the IP address of the neighbor.

Check-specific Fields:
