Hello,
We have a classic Hub & Spoke network design and I'm trying to monitor the Wan status for each remote site. I have a SNMP message that is sent from both Hub and Spoke router that I can filter on. The issue that I'm having is if the Wan cct to the Spoke site goes down I won't receive a syslog message from it to alert on however the Hub site router will which is perfect. The problem is that when I filter on the Hub message I use the %MsgHost variable and get the hostname of the Hub router...I have 60+ tunnels on the Hub router so these messages don't have any meeting in terms of identifiying the specific Spoke site. I'm wondering if there is a custom variable that can do a look on a text file (similar to the "statichosts.txt") so I can map a Tunnel # to a Spoke Name? Essentially I would like to monitor the state of the Wan cct from the Hub router by using log messages and adding the proper Spoke name. Has anyone done somethign similar to this or have any other ideas? Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thx
