Monitoring ASR 9906 (IOS XR 6.5.3) on Paessler's PRTG with SNMP v2c

[barweiss45]

Hello, I am standing up 2 ASR 9906 routers. The organization I work for uses Paessler's PRTG to monitor our devices. I have had no issues monitoring interfaces stats, cpu, memory, etc. However, I am trying to monitor the peer state for BGP, by using the the BGP4-MIB library. It seems that this MIB is used for IOS XR 6.5.3 per the Cisco documentation, however, when I try to walk this it fails. I'm unsure if there is something missing, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had any issues configuring this for IOS XR. I have no issues using this MIB on PRTG with IOS and IOS-XE. I'm sure that I have snmp configured correctly because I can poll the interfaces and enviromentals.

I take it you mean this MIB?

https://snmp.cloudapps.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Translate&objectInput=1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.187

That is the correct MIB to use.

Are all your peers in VRFs or default VRF? For VRFs we need SNMP context.

What is your snmpwalk statement and your snmp-server config, and a small snippet from router bgp would help just to verify you aren't doing multi-instance and everything is in a VRF or default VRF.

Thank you so much! This is what I was looking for. This was never mentioned in any of the documentation I was looking at. I appreciate it.
