BMP Peer Status Adapter
The BMP peer status adapter creates events for peer status changes. It handles BMP Peer Up and Down messages that the BMP Parser receives and parses, and converts to Horizon events. Horizon associates the created events with the router sending the messages. This router must exist as regular node in Horizon.
The events are called uei.opennms.org/bmp/peerUp
and uei.opennms.org/bmp/peerDown
.
Horizon uses the IP address exporting BMP messages to associate a router with the particular Horizon node.
In addition, the node’s metadata can specify a BGP ID, which will then be used to associate routers.
If the parameter metaDataNodeLookup
is not empty, it will be interpreted as a context:key
metadata name, which will be used to lookup a node that has stored the queried BGP ID as a value in exactly this key.
