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 bg- pctl(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 permis- sions 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 communi- cate 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 primary 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 lim- ited with the following parameters: neighbor=peer Show information for a specific neighbor. peer may be the neighbor's address or description. group=name Show only entries from the specified peer group. /nexthops Show the list of BGP nexthops and the result of their validity 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 description. 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 com- munity. af=(ipv4 | ipv6 | vpnv4 | vpnv6) Show only entries that match the specified ad- dress family. rib=name Show only entries from the RIB with name name. Can only be used with the /rib endpoint. 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 filtered by the input filter. invalid=1 Show only prefixes which are not eligible. leaked=1 Show only prefixes where a route leak was de- tected. prefix=addr Show only entries that match prefix either as the best matching route or show the entry 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 } SEE ALSO bgpctl(8), bgpd(8), obhttpd(8) HISTORY The bgplgd server first appeared in OpenBSD 7.2.
