I've been experimenting lately with Service Assurance Agent (aka RTR, aka IP SLA, depending on IOS version). So far I have it monitoring a few things happily, and I have Cacti graphing the results of those tests, but I haven't had much luck getting the 'reaction' part of the system going.
What I'd like is to receive a trap from the router when the service is unavailable, as well as falling outside of parameters. In particular, for icmpEcho, http and tcpConnect tests, it seems that the far end being unavailable *doesn't* send a trap, although it does show as an error in 'show rtr op'.
The Cisco docs aren't exactly clear on whether it is supposed to do anything in this situation, but it seems that "no service" is the worst SLA-failure of all, to me :-) Has anyone got a sample config for this that does work?
I have:
snmp-server enable traps rtr rtr logging traps
! my test webserver rtr 13 type tcpConnect dest-ipaddr 10.1.1.188 dest-port 80 tag mac2 rtr reaction-configuration 13 react connectionLoss threshold-type immediate action-type trapOnly rtr reaction-configuration 13 react timeout threshold-type immediate action-type trapOnly rtr schedule 13 life forever start-time now
but regardless of whether I shutdown just the http service (so the probe should get a connection refused), or pull the network cable (so it gets nothing), I don't get a trap at my NMS. Traps generally are working fine for my test router though, so I know it's not that. Test box is a spare 1751 running 12.3(11)T, but I haven't had any joy with
12.4 either.Anyone else do this successfully?
