IPSEC Monitoring - Tunnel Down Notifications
-
Hello All,
We are wanting to add some monitoring/notifications so we know if an IPSEC tunnel goes down/disconnects.
We have this set to SYSLOG and we can only really differentiate when a tunnel establishes. Are there any known methods to get this setup to notify?
Or maybe a package that is built for this?
-
@Matt_Sharpe do you own both sides of the tunnel? If so, snmp monitor the other site. No ping then tunnel down. Any snmp poller will do this
-
@michmoor We only have access to the target side of the tunnel for this specific instance. No control on the other side of the tunnel...
Any other ideas?

Two other options that come to mind
-
Alert on syslog. So if using a syslog server such as Graylog, you can have it alert you by sending an email when it sees entries for the tunnel going down.

Modify the scripts here - although meant for Zabbix i can see it easily being customizable for any monitoring tool
