A "realtime" web view of your BGP network

• Who do I peer with?
• How many routes do I receive from my peers?
• Who do I use for tranist?
• What AS path does a prefix take out of my network?
• How many routes and autonomous systems do I see?

Work in progress and many things are broken or changing. This is alpha code.

• Currently a manual process running outside of the bgp-dashboard application.
• Setup a rancid/clogin, or similar cli automation tool, reoccurring cron job to grab the data and save locally as text.

• After the 'show ip bgp' data is saved locally, run bgp2sql.py from the scripts folder to build/update the SQLite database.
• Again, best to automate this via a cron job at regular intervals.

• Flask, SQLAlchemy, Bootstrap, and various JavaScript libraries are used to present the data via the web

• Use netmiko to automate the download of BGP data from routers
• Investigate the use of BMP to trigger updates
• Add ability to search for ASN/IP and find the next hop and full AS path
• Add support for other router vendors
• Add ability to monitor ASN or Prefix changes (next hop IP, next hop ASN, AS path, etc...)
• Add alerting for monitored ASN/Prefixes (email, pager, etc...)
