Hello Tim,

Thanks for your answer. Initially I did not use go to install it. Maybe this is the problem, I guess. My question is how you run it? you just have to run bird or ? In which port is the web server available? 6502? I have installed the bird watcher as well which is python. Do I need the golang necessarily ?

So far I get connection refused when I try 

wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.13.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Thanks a lot! Irene


Hi Irene,

I use the bird exporter, but I'm not sure if I understood your question.
The only thing I needed to configure in the config tog work was the
timeformat setting you already mentioned. Also the three metrics you
posted look correct?

Cheers, Tim

Hello guys!

I would like to ask you, if anyone of you has deployed bird_exporter for
Prometheus metrics to Grafana dashboard?

https://github.com/czerwonk/bird_exporter

I have setup Grafana dashboards to visualize the metrics Prometheus
collects. I have imported the Dashboard for the bird from github.

Now I am not sure how to orchestrate the bird_exporter into the bird
config, other than :

1.  timeformat protocol iso long;

2.
bird_protocol_prefix_import_count{name="bgp1",proto="BGP",ip_version="4"}
600000
bird_protocol_prefix_import_count{name="bgp1",proto="BGP",ip_version="6"}
50000
bird_ospfv3_running{name="ospf1"} 1


as instructed in the doc.

My bird is 2.0.7.


thanks a lot in advance!

Irene
