[rtg] RTG, targetmaker, additional Modules

[Phil Pierotti]

Has anyone out there written any custom modules for targetmaker?

I'm specifically interested in hearing if someone has hacked together
modules for:
- the CiscoBGP4 MIB (specifically automatically finding lists of BGP
peers, current session state and number of prefixes from each peer,
etc)
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&mibName=BGP4-MIB

- the Cisco VPDN MIB (where you can find such delicacies as the total
number of sessions, and calculate locally-terminated vs switched-away
sessions)
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&mibName=CISCO-VPDN-MGMT-MIB

- the Cisco CAR (committed-access-ate aka rate-limit) MIB
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&submitClicked=true&mibName=CISCO-CAR-MIB#contents

eg from the CAR mib you can poll for how much traffic was discarded
(because it exceeded the rate-limit), combined with the *passed*
traffic you can build a stacked/two-layer graph showing both the
presented-traffic as well as the through traffic. (eg which is helpful
to find misconfigured rate-limits, customers who need to upgrade, etc)

If nobody has been-there-and-done-that already, the next question out
there should obviously be "is there anyone with the skills and maybe
the time who just needs some financial incentive"?

And do you take zimbabwean dollars?
