Good Monday Morning Everyone. Quick Question: What is everyone's favorite software for running a looking glass. A friend asked me this over the weekend - and while there are others available on the internet to use - it would be helpful for them to run one within their own network. It has been a while since i have played setting one up so figured might as well ask *Glenn S. Kelley, *Connectivity.Engineer Text and Voice Direct: 740-206-9624
Used Hyperglass a bunch. Looks pretty, very extensive & configurable, support for most platforms. Highly recommend! https://hyperglass.dev Best Phin On Mon, Jun 20, 2022 at 2:57 PM Glenn Kelley <glenn@connectivity.engineer> wrote:

Josh - there are a ton of public looking glass servers. The idea here was to run their own. which then gives them the ability to see things from their networks perspective a bit easier. *Glenn S.

It's not about what you use as aposed more of where it's used from. -- J. Hellenthal The fact that there's a highway to Hell but only a stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.

I run both OpenBSD + OpenBGPd + OpenBSD/OpenBGPd’s LG, and BIRD + xddxdd/bird-lg-go<https://github.com/xddxdd/bird-lg-go> (on two different servers, because I value my sanity) because they do a few things differently, and neither can show me everything I want. -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [MERLIN] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) https://www.merlin.mb.ca<https://www.merlin.mb.ca/> [cid:image002.png@01D88572.EF7703F0]Chat with me on Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=athompson@merlin.mb.ca> From: NANOG <nanog-bounces+athompson=merlin.mb.ca@nanog.org> On Behalf Of Michel Blais Sent: Monday, June 20, 2022 7:45 PM To: North American Network Operators' Group <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: Several seems to use OpenBSD with OpenBGP and BGPLG.

Hi Glenn, I don't know if there are any packaged solutions but it would be a day's work to write a web interface which scrubs the user input and then shells out to traceroute, ping and vtysh (from Quagga or FRR) respectively. The latter gives you BGP checks with Cisco-like commands and output. Just run it on the same machine so you don't have to directly access your router.
