Is there a script, or the basis of a script that I can start with, that will monitor either the status (up or down) of an interface?
With logging to memory of topic: info I get this:
ether3 link down
which is good, but I was hoping to send a notification of this event (including the date and time of this change).
Thanks.
Are you familiair with Netwatch?

Thank you, I am.
I am hoping there is a more direct manner to monitor the same status that is being logged, and not whether there is connectivity to the device(s) on that interface.
I found this thread:
that suggests a syslog action of email might work.
But, I don’t want all topic: interface log messages emailed.
Only when ether3 goes down. Nothing more.
I see there is a regex option in the logging. I’ll try simply using “ether3 link down” as the regex expression as that is the exact log entry.
The logging works great.
/system logging action
add email-to=<user>@<domain>.com name=email target=email
/system logging
add action=email regex="ether3 link down" topics=info
I have it set to email me (for now):
