Hi Csaba,

thanks for the answer, I was looking for this type of sensor for prometheus, then as I understood from your considerations, through a node of the topology, I can monitor the rest of the entire topology, since ospf is a link state protocol, in which if a change is made, it is visible throughout our topology, but you said that there is not yet a sensor for the command in question.

Is it possible for me to create this sensor to monitor the entire ospf topology through a single node? I believe this would be my contribution to freeRouter, since I am also working on monitoring it.

And if it is possible to integrate twamp into it as well.

One more question, is it possible to configure this ospf delay within the ospf process configuration, since I've seen a command like delay metric or something like that?

Anyway, thanks for the answers.

Sincerely,

Gabriel Tetzner Menegueti

hi,
niceee!
good observations, twamp in freerouter alters all the flexalgo metrics all at once...
if you just use the default flexalgo 0 topology then that can profit from it too...
regarding the prometheus, yesss its possible, as you have the show ipv4/6 ospf x metric knob...
frederic introduced similar things in the geant testbed, this is the sensor he done back in the days:
https://github.com/rare-freertr/freeRtr/blob/master/misc/sensor/lsigp-ospf.txt
here the perf one is that exports the it from the current node...
but on the other hand, please note that, as it's a link state routing protocol we're talking about,
and the changes are reflected in ospf router lsa, that is, observable on every node in the network,
you can monitor the whole network from a single node by the sho ipv4/6 ospf x topo [xxx] command...
imho this latter does not have yet the sensor, but should be doable too...
(we at hbone, we only went for the connectivity checks this way, and that works fine)
br,
