Output in BGP-dump format

[Tf-arch]

I am getting data from the below code. Could you please tell me how can I get data from pybgpstream in exactly bgpdump format

import pybgpstream
stream = pybgpstream.BGPStream(
from_time="2017-07-07 00:00:00", until_time="2017-07-07 00:10:00 UTC",
collectors=[ "rrc12"],
record_type="updates",
filter="community *:3400"
)

for dump in stream:
# record fields can be accessed directly from elem
# e.g. elem.time
# or via elem.record
# e.g. elem.record.time
print( dump)

output
update|A|1499386168.000000|ris|rrc12|None|None|2914|80.81.192.46|122.162.240.0/20|80.81.192.46|2914 9498 24560 24560|65500:7018 65500:3257 2914:410 65500:3356 65500:6762 2914:2406 2914:3400 65500:174 65500:3549 65500:7473 65500:3491 2914:1405 65500:1299|None|None

I wanna get output like
BGP4MP|1635316051|A|80.33.33.99|14061|185.25.9.1/32|14061 31500 199624 49058|IGP|80.81.193.66|0|0|333:777 6666:888|NAG||

I have similar issue as the current output format is missing the key BGP details unlike BGP-dump format.

[alistairking]

Which key BGP details are you missing?

If you're using bgpreader you can use the -m option to get bgpdump-style output (https://bgpstream.caida.org/docs/tools/bgpreader)
If you want this format from pybgpstream then a PR would be gladly welcomed.

Hi @alistairking

Yes I am looking for this option in pybgpstream.

I never tried creating python api for C library.
Any reference pointers or examples which can be helpful in creating the PR where I can extend the elem to carry more information.
