notification scripts ?

[Alexander Zubkov]

Hello,

Depending on the type of events needed, besides logs or active
monitoring with birdc, one can also do things like exporting routes to
some kernel table and monitoring them using netlink. Or setup a
"monitoring" bgp (or other protocol) sessions with something like
exabgp.

Regards,
Alexander
