Remarks Since bird exporter uses the bird unix sockets, bird has to be installed on the same machine as bird exporter. Also the user executing bird exporter must have permission to access the bird socket files. Bird configuration To get meaningful uptime information bird has to be configured this way: Important information for users of bird 2.0+ Version 2.0 of bird routing daemon does support IPv4 and IPv6 in one single daemon now. For further information see here. Since version 1.1 bird exporter can be used with bird 2.0+ using the -bird.v2 parameter. When using this parameter bird exporter queries the same bird socket for IPv4 and IPv6. In this mode the IP protocol is determined by the channel information and parameters -bird.ipv4 , -bird.ipv6 and -bird.socket6 are ignored. Bird 3.0 adds two extra columns (RX limit, limit) to route change stats. The exporter detects this format automatically. Metric formats In version 1.0 a new metric format was introduced. To prevent a breaking change the new format is optional and can be enabled by using the -format.new flag. The new format handles protocols more generic and allows a better query structure. Also it adheres more to the metric naming best practices. In both formats protocol specific metrics are prefixed with the protocol name (e.g. OSPF running metric). Since verson 1.3 the new metric format is the default.
