BigPlg allows the collection of the IPv4 Internet routing table which may be viewed by service providers and/or ISP customers to validate IP routing across autonomous systems.
Routing updates may also have attributes aliased to become (graph) readable. This function exists to allow the exporting of RIB updates to Splunk, or any such data collector.
A beneficial side-effect of collecting BGP routing information is the ability to track BGP updates/events local or remote(upstream). To analyze events Splunk is supported. A JSON/Socket API is currently under development.
Custom graphs can be easily implemented if taken the time to do so. There's certainly no need to rely on Splunk if one developed another way of displaying data. This project is meant to be nothing more than a route collector, and it's interface is solely CLI(command line interface). This project does not have graph data "out of the box".
Features
- establish BGP adjacency with other BGP speakers
- keeps record of prefix attributes over time
- can be used as an aggregate view of routes from different autonomous systems
- distribute update logging to remote hosts per peer or dump to a local file
- update dumps can be collected by data analysis tools such as Splunk and Sumo Logic
- current version can safely collect 4+ copies of the Internet routing table without performance issues
- uses a CLI front end to edit run-time configuration
