Ubuntu Manpage: bgplgd — a bgpctl FastCGI server

NAME

     bgplgd — a bgpctl FastCGI server

SYNOPSIS

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

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 /run/bgplgd.sock, owned by www-data:www-data, with permissions
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 /run/openbgpd/bgpd.sock to communicate with
bgpd(8).

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

-U user
Change the owner of /run/bgplgd.sock to user and its primary group instead of the
default www:www.

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.

/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 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 Show routes from the bgpd(8) Routing Information Base. 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 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.
ovs=(valid | not-found | invalid)
Show only prefixes that match the specified Origin Validation State.
best=1 Show only selected routes.
error=1 Show only prefixes which are marked invalid and were treated as
withdrawn.
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

     An example setup in httpd(8) is:

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

HISTORY

     The bgplgd server first appeared in OpenBSD 7.2.
