# Free Range Routing (FRR) Exporter
Prometheus exporter for FRR version 3.0+ that collects metrics from the FRR
Unix sockets and exposes them via HTTP, ready for collecting by Prometheus.
## Getting Started
To run FRR Exporter:
```
./frr_exporter [flags]
```
To view metrics on the default port (9342) and path (/metrics):
```
http://device:9342/metrics
```
To view available flags:
```
usage: frr_exporter []
Flags:
-h, --[no-]help Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
--[no-]collector.bgp.peer-types
Enable the frr_bgp_peer_types_up metric (default: disabled).
--collector.bgp.peer-types.keys=type ...
Select the keys from the JSON formatted BGP peer description of which the values will be used with the
frr_bgp_peer_types_up metric. Supports multiple values (default: type).

## Docker
A Docker container is available at:
- Docker Hub: [tynany/frr_exporter](https://hub.docker.com/r/tynany/frr_exporter)
- GitHub Container Registry: [ghcr.io/tynany/frr_exporter](https://github.com/tynany/frr_exporter/pkgs/container/frr_exporter)
### Example
Mount the FRR socket directory (default `/var/run/frr`) inside the container,
passing that directory to FRR Exporter via the `--frr.socket.dir-path` flag:
```
docker run --restart unless-stopped -d -p 9342:9342 -v /var/run/frr:/frr_sockets tynany/frr_exporter "--frr.socket.dir-path=/frr_sockets"
```
#### If using the --frr.vtysh flag (not recommended)
Mount the FRR config directory (default `/etc/frr`) and FRR socket directory
(default `/var/run/frr`) inside the container, passing those directories to
vtysh options `--vty_socket` & `--config_dir` via the FRR Exporter flag
`--frr.vtysh.options` if using:
```
docker run --restart unless-stopped -d -p 9342:9342 -v /etc/frr:/frr_config -v /var/run/frr:/frr_sockets tynany/frr_exporter "--frr.vtysh --frr.vtysh.options=--vty_socket=/frr_sockets --config_dir=/frr_config"
```
## Collectors
To disable a default collector, use the `--no-collector.$name` flag, or
`--collector.$name` to enable it.

### Sending commands to FRR
By default, FRR Exporter sends commands to FRR via the Unix sockets exposed by
each FRR daemon (e.g. bgpd, ospfd, etc), usually located in `/var/run/frr`. If
the sockets are located in a folder other than `/var/run/frr`, pass that
directory to FRR Exporter via the `--frr.socket.dir-path` flag.
#### VTYSH
If desired, FRR Exporter can interface with FRR via the `vtysh` command by
passing the `--frr.vtysh` flag to FRR Exporter. This is not recommended, and is
far slower than FRR Exporter's default way of sending commands to FRR via Unix
sockets. The default timeout is 20s but can be modified via the
`--frr.vtysh.timeout` flag.
### BGP: Peer Description Labels
The description of a BGP peer can be added as a label to all peer metrics by
passing the `--collector.bgp.peer-descriptions` flag. The peer description must
be JSON formatted with a `desc` field. Example configuration:
```
router bgp 64512
neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 64513
neighbor 192.168.0.1 description {"desc":"important peer"}
```
If an unstructured description is preferred, additionally to
`--collector.bgp.peer-descriptions` pass the
`--collector.bgp.peer-descriptions.plain-text` flag. Example configuration:
```
router bgp 64512
neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 64513
neighbor 192.168.0.1 description important peer
```
Note, it is recommended to leave this feature disabled as peer descriptions can
easily change, resulting in a new time series.
### BGP: Advertised Prefixes to a Peer
This is an option for older versions of FRR. If your FRR shows the "PfxSnt"
field for Peers in the Established state in the output of `show bgp summary
json`, you don't need to enable this option.
The number of prefixes advertised to a BGP peer can be enabled (i.e. the
`frr_exporter_bgp_prefixes_advertised_count_total` metric) by passing the
`--collector.bgp.advertised-prefixes` flag. Please note, older FRR versions do
not expose a summary of prefixes advertised to BGP peers, so each peer needs to
be queried individually. For example, if 20 BGP peers are configured, 20 'sh ip
bgp neigh X.X.X.X advertised-routes json' commands are sent to the Unix socket
(or `vtysh` if the `--frr.vtysh` is used). This can be slow, especially if
using the `--frr.vtysh` flag. The commands are run in parallel by FRR Exporter,
but FRR executes them in serial. Due to the potential negative performance
implications of running `vtysh` for every BGP peer, this metric is disabled by
default.
### BGP: frr_bgp_peer_types_up
FRR Exporter exposes a special metric, `frr_bgp_peer_types_up`, that can be
used in scenarios where you want to create Prometheus queries that report on
the number of types of BGP peers that are currently established, such as for
Alertmanager. To implement this metric, a JSON formatted description must be
configured on your BGP group. FRR Exporter will then use the value from the
keys specific by the `--collector.bgp.peer-types.keys` flag (the default is
`type`), and aggregates all BGP peers that are currently established and
configured with that type.
For example, if you want to know how many BGP peers are currently established
that provide internet, you'd set the description of all BGP groups that provide
internet to `{"type":"internet"}` and query Prometheus with
`frr_bgp_peer_types_up{type="internet"})`. Going further, if you want to create
an alert when the number of established BGP peers that provide internet is 1 or
less, you'd use `sum(frr_bgp_peer_types_up{type="internet"}) <= 1`.
To enable `frr_bgp_peer_types_up`, use the `--collector.bgp.peer-types` flag.
### OSPF: Multiple Instance Support
[OSPF Mulit-instace](https://docs.frrouting.org/en/latest/ospfd.html#multi-instance-support)
is supported by passing a comma-separated list of instances ID to FRR Exporter via
the `--collector.ospf.instances` flag.
For example, if `/etc/frr/daemons` contains the below configuration, FRR Exporter
should be run as: `./frr_exporter --collector.ospf.instances=1,5,6`.
```
...
ospfd=yes
ospfd_instances=1,5,6
...
```
Note: FRR Exporter does not support multi-instance when using `vtysh` to interface with FRR
via the `--frr.vtysh` flag for the following reasons:
* Invalid JSON is returned when OSPF commands are executed by `vtysh`. For example,\
`show ip ospf vrf all interface json` returns the concatenated JSON from each OSPF instance.
* Vtysh does not support `vrf` and `instance` in the same commend. For example,\
`show ip ospf 1 vrf all interface json` is an invalid command.
