Real-time BGP monitoring tool, pre-configured for visibility loss and hijacks detection.
You just run it. You don't need to provide any data source or connect it to anything in your network since it connects to public repos.
It can deliver alerts on files, by email, on slack, and more.
This section is useful if you don't care about the source code but you just want to run the monitor. Instead, if you want to run the source code (which is completely open) or develop, please read directly the documentation.
-
Download the binary here (be sure to select the one for your OS)
-
Execute the binary (e.g.
chmod +x bgpalerter-linux-x64 && ./bgpalerter-linux-x64)
The first time you run it, the auto-configuration will start.
If something happens (e.g. a hijack) you will see the alerts in logs/reports-YYYY-MM-DD.log.
In config.yml you can find other reporting mechanisms (e.g. email and slack) in addition to logging on files.
Please uncomment the related section and configure according to your needs.
If the installation doesn't go smoothly, read here.
