Alert Action: Execute Python Script to Connect to Cisco ASA

Votes:

0

Hello,

I'm trying to accomplish the following:

- We care currently monitoring a site to site VPN tunnel (Cisco ASA to Meraki MX) - After certain period of time, the tunnel stops passing traffic - Only solution we found is to bounce the tunnel on the Cisco ASA - I know you can run python script to connect to ASA; we'd have to login, enable then run the following: 'clear crypto ipsec sa peer x.x.x.x' - Is this doable from PRTG?

Absolutely. We can do this with a Custom Script sensor. You would create your Python Script, have it return anything, if you like, and then envoke it with a PRTG sensor. The sensor will run it at every scanning interval.

Here is our manual page regarding custom sensors.

Let me know if you have any questions.
