Hello I am suggesting that BIRD should have a mail function that alerts the administrator of critical errors in real time especially from it's syslog severs. Bird runs on a Linux platform and can be incorporated with some mailer daemon If a BGP section goes down.. I want Bird to alert me, If there is a change on my configuration.. I should be alerted etc. Would be grateful -- Anibe Onuche

hi anibe, you can use something like "swatch" [1], or "mon-it"[2], or similar to achieve this. --n. [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/swatch/ [2] http://mmonit.com/monit/

Because it runs on Linux and logs to syslog that means there are plenty of tools that can already do what you want, like SEC: http://simple-evcorr.sourceforge.net/ ~Seth

Hello You could setup triggers for certain log messages in same newer syslog implementations (like rsyslog), which could run any shell command, e.g. send an e-mail using 'mail' command. -- 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."
Hey Ondrej, Are there any docs that describe bird behavior on a case of a BGP session turning down from up? From all the responses I assume that there is a very explicit log output that can be discovered in a matter of micro or milliseconds. Since BGP is used by many, are there any examples for a log line for a case like this? Thanks, Eliezer On 18/11/13 21:11, Ondrej Zajicek wrote:

If you have event messages enabled (i.e. 'debug { events };' in BGP proto), you get "BGP session established" and "BGP session closed" log messages. -- 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."
