Install

On the monitored router

Just install the quagga-snmp-bgpd.pl script in /usr/local/etc/quagga-snmp-bgpd

And add this line in your snmpd.conf

pass_persist .1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.1 /usr/local/etc/quagga-snmp-bgpd

On the monitoring server

Install check_bgp.pl in the nagios/checkmk plugin directory.

And run

./check_bgp.pl -H router1.myisp.net -C mysUp3rsecr3t -p 8.8.8.8

Limitations

For the moment, this script in IPv4 only :-(
