Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way an application can be notified when BFD session status changes.
I know currently I can check the BFD session by polling with birdc or scanning the log, but if there is some way I get the notification it would help me much more.
Hi We currently do not have dedicated notification channel. There is echo mechanism, that allows receiving log messages through BIRD control socket, but that is disabled for BFD due to multithreading issue. With reasonable syslog daemon (e.g. rsyslog), you can configure log triggers instead of asynchronous scanning of logs. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
