Collectd plugin for Cumulus Quagga/FRR

This plugin will collect BGP neighbor-related metrics from Quagga for a given family. It's quite rudimentary.

It requires a version of Quagga able to understand the show bgp <afi> <safi> summary json commands (Quagga from Cumulus, FRR).

Installation

The plugin should be copied in /usr/share/collectd/python/ or another place specified by ModulePath in the Python plugin configuration. The types.quagga.db file also needs to be copied in /usr/share/collectd/ and registered with TypesDB.

Configuration

This should be used like this:

LoadPlugin python
TypesDB "/usr/share/collectd/types.quagga.db"

<Plugin python>
  ModulePath "/usr/share/collectd/python"
  Import "quagga"
  <Module quagga>
    socket "/var/run/quagga/bgpd.vty"
    family "ipv4 unicast"
    usehostname true
  </Module>
</Plugin>

Only the configuration keys exposed in the example are valid. Their default values are the ones in the example.

Testing

A one-time collection can be triggered with:

collectd -C collectd.conf -T
