Well... If it will be really yang modeled, sounds "not that hard" for an external daemon doing that translation.

Thinking of it as Kubernetes way, feels an excelente opportunity to a container-based neighbor doing that job.
O even maybe some lib to the well stablished telemetry local colector like datadog, opentelemetry, etc.
To me, this is good news! Thank you all the involved!

And an extra curiosity:
Is BMP related to this "machine-friendly interface"?

gRPC and gNMI are no-go because of HTTP/2; won't go that direction; if there is such a need, a separate (standalone) daemon may be created to handle translations between BIRD API and gRPC / gNMI but it isn't in our plans; it can be quite easy to do it though; regarding telemetry, it should work well but i would not expect much from such a connection for controlling though – we are keeping our model of daemon only reading config, not writing it

Are we talking about gRPC?
If no, maybe some external tool running in same host of bird could use this "machine-friendly interface"
to get it from bird and supply those data as gRPC?

gNMI is on the table in some way?
