No. Mechanisms like this are currently in a design and prototyping
phase. Also, we are very much first aiming to implement a working API
for route dumps as this is the most critical thing requested from us by
most of the customers of BIRD Support.

It's not easy to implement these hooks properly without impeding
performance on hot paths. It also takes a lot of time and effort to
design it all maintainable for the next, let's say, another 25 years.

We're very thankful for every company willing to get BIRD Support. These
companies are moving the development forward while also getting direct
line for resolving their technical problems discreetly and with
priority.

The most convenient way for now is to set `debug { states };` in the bfd
and bgp and then just parse logs by some ugly regexes.

Hoping that this helps.

Maria
