Hi all!
Does BIRD allow to write a filter, where I can define a condition when it should import/export some route(s) and when it should not? To clarify my question, example: I want to check whether some process (lets say apache) is running and the server is listening TCP port 80, so if these conditions are true, BIRD should export some route to OSPF, if false – should not.
Hi, You will need some external monitoring script to handle this. To withdraw a route when a service fails there is a simpler option to have bird import from the kernel routing table and use an external script to add/remove routes. if `wget -O/dev/null https://u4477715.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=IRP6gkWjxp-2BUYovgLeGtGDf-2FKz... then ip route add 1.2.3.4/32 dev lo else ip route del 1.2.3.4/32 dev lo fi Something like that in a while loop or cron job should be simpler than changing config files. Of course, this only works for the "turn off my advertisements when I’m broken" use case and isn't suitable for more complex requirements. You can also use an alternative kernel routing table purely for injecting in to bird if you don't want the routes in your main routing table. - Mike Jones
