BGPLGD(8)		    System Manager's Manual		     BGPLGD(8)

NAME
       bgplgd -- a bgpctl FastCGI server

SYNOPSIS
       bgplgd [-d] [-p path] [-S socket] [-s socket] [-U user] [-V]

DESCRIPTION
       bgplgd  is  a  server  which implements the FastCGI Protocol to execute
       bgpctl(8) commands.  bgplgd is a	simple server that implements a	simple
       web API to query	bgpd(8).

       bgplgd opens a socket at	/var/run/bgplgd.sock, owned by www, with  per-
       missions	 0660.	 It  will  then	 drop  privileges  to  user "_bgplgd",
       unveil(2) the bgpctl(8) binary and restrict itself with pledge(2).

       The options are as follows:

       -d      Do not daemonize.  If this option is specified, bgplgd will run
	       in the foreground and log to stderr.

       -p path
	       Use path	instead	of bgpctl(8) to	query bgpd(8).

       -S socket
	       Use socket instead of the default /var/run/bgpd.rsock to	commu-
	       nicate with bgpd(8).

       -s socket
	       Create and bind to alternative local socket at socket.

       -U user
	       Change the owner	of /var/run/bgplgd.sock	to user	and  its  pri-
	       mary group instead of the default www.

       -V      Show the	version	and exit.

       bgplgd  provides	the following API endpoints.  Unless further specified
       the endpoints do	not take any parameters:

       /interfaces  Show the interface states.
       /memory	    Show RIB memory statistics.
       /metrics	    Output various statistics in OpenMetrics format.
       /neighbors   Show detailed neighbors information.  The  output  can  be
		    limited with the following parameters:

		    neighbor=peer  Show	 information  for a specific neighbor.
				   peer	may be the neighbor's address  or  de-
				   scription.
		    group=name	   Show	 only  entries from the	specified peer
				   group.
       /nexthops    Show the list of BGP nexthops and the result of their  va-
		    lidity check.
       /rib
       /rib/in
       /rib/out	    Show  routes  from	the  bgpd(8) Routing Information Base.
		    For	 /rib/in  the  Adj-RIB-In  will	 be  queried  and  for
		    /rib/out the Adj-RIB-out.  The following parameters	can be
		    used to filter the output:

		    neighbor=peer  Show	 information  for a specific neighbor.
				   peer	may be the neighbor's address  or  de-
				   scription.
		    group=name	   Show	 only  entries from the	specified peer
				   group.
		    as=number	   Show	only entries with the specified	source
				   AS number.
		    community=string
		    ext-community=string
		    large-community=string
				   Show	only entries that match	the  specified
				   community.
		    af=(ipv4 | ipv6 | vpnv4 | vpnv6)
				   Show	 only entries that match the specified
				   address family.
		    rib=name	   Show	only entries from the  RIB  with  name
				   name.   Can only be used with the /rib end-
				   point.
		    ovs=(valid | not-found | invalid)
				   Show	only prefixes that match the specified
				   Origin Validation State.
		    avs=(valid | invalid | unknown)
				   Show	only prefixes that match the specified
				   ASPA	Validation State.
		    best=1	   Show	only selected routes.
		    error=1	   Show	only prefixes which are	marked invalid
				   and were treated as withdrawn.
		    filtered=1	   Show	only prefixes which  are  marked  fil-
				   tered by the	input filter.
		    invalid=1	   Show	only prefixes which are	not eligible.
		    leaked=1	   Show	 only  prefixes	where a	route leak was
				   detected.
		    prefix=addr	   Show	only entries that match	prefix	either
				   as  the best	matching route or show the en-
				   try for this	CIDR prefix.
		    all=1	   Show	all entries in	the  specified	prefix
				   range.
		    or-shorter=1   Show	all entries covering and including the
				   specified prefix.
       /rtr	    Show a list	of all RTR sessions.
       /sets	    Show  a  list summarizing all roa-set, as-set, prefix-set,
		    and	origin-set tables.
       /summary	    Show a list	of all neighbors, including information	 about
		    the	session	state and message counters.

EXAMPLES
       Add  the	following to /etc/bgpd.conf to have bgpd(8) open a second, re-
       stricted, control socket:

	     socket "/var/run/bgpd.rsock" restricted

       An example setup	in obhttpd(8) is:

		     location "/bgplgd/*" {
			     fastcgi socket "/run/bgplgd.sock"
			     request strip 1
		     }
