I configured BGP with peer, which is Fortinet device. Both of sides show BGP status established, however, there is no route exchanged. Start bird daemon with -D log_file, but only see some keepalive, no other debug message come out.

1. Is it possible to increase debug level, see more logs to figure out the root cause ?
2. Generally how to debug this kind of BGP issue, any suggestion is appreciated ?

protocol bgp BGP_INSTANCE {
  debug all;
}

You may want also ipv6 { … debug { routes }; };

Also you have to set up your filters on both sides.

If you share your show proto all CLI command output and/or your full config file, we may help you better.
