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 | || On 1/14/20 11:52 PM, Tim Meusel wrote:

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
