[ixpmanager] IXP Manager Route Server with Bird2 sync/api reconfigure script error.

Wed May 17 02:05:25 IST 2023

Good Day to all!

I canceled the previous one and resend this after subscribing with the
correct "email alias".

We keep encountering errors when running this script "
https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/blob/master/tools/runtime/route-servers/api-reconfigure-example-birdv2.sh"
in our BIRD Server with this error output "ERROR: non-zero return from
/usr/sbin/bird when parsing
/usr/local/etc/bird/bird-rcbc-rs2-ipv4.conf.281708".

We're confused why it keeps resulting in an error. We also followed a
demonstration(?)/guide in Youtube, stuck due to error ( "Command Used" )IXP
Manager and Route Servers - Tutorial Series (3 of 6)
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heKj-K1eMHM&t=350s>
Command Used:
"./api-reconfigure-example-birdv2.sh -h rcbc-rs2-ipv4"

Output of Command with Debug=1:
"curl --fail -s -H "X-IXP-Manager-API-Key: {our api-key}"

ERROR: non-zero return from /usr/sbin/bird when parsing

### Member vs. Customer
###
### IXP Manager is an open source project and typically used in member-owned IXPs.
### As such, the language used mostly is 'member'. To change this to 'customer' just
### uncomment the following lines:
#
# IXP_FE_FRONTEND_CUSTOMER_ONE=customer
# IXP_FE_FRONTEND_CUSTOMER_MANY=customers
# IXP_FE_FRONTEND_CUSTOMER_OWNER="customer's"
# IXP_FE_FRONTEND_CUSTOMER_OWNERS="customers'"

### Features

IXP_RESELLER_ENABLED=false

# See: http://docs.ixpmanager.org/features/as112/
IXP_AS112_UI_ACTIVE=false

#######################################################################################
### Frontend controllers and controller configuration
#
# Some frontend controllers are disabled by default. This is for a variety of reasons
# including: additional configuration may be required, maintain backwards
# compatibility, etc.

# Allow customers / admins to upload logos for members. Set to false to enabled.
# See: http://docs.ixpmanager.org/usage/customers/#customer-logos
IXP_FE_FRONTEND_DISABLED_LOGO=false

# Send email notifications when a customer's billing details are updated.
# See: http://docs.ixpmanager.org/usage/customers/#notification-of-billing-details-changed
# IXP_FE_CUSTOMER_BILLING_UPDATES_NOTIFY="mail at example.com"

# Disable links to the peering matrix if you have not set it up (with sflow):
# IXP_FE_FRONTEND_DISABLED_PEERING_MATRIX=true

#######################################################################################
### Graphing - see https://ixp-manager.readthedocs.org/en/latest/features/grapher.html

# Enable the backends you have configured. E.g.:
# GRAPHER_BACKENDS="mrtg|sflow|smokeping"

# On a new installation, we just use placeholders from the dummy backend:
GRAPHER_BACKENDS="mrtg|sflow|smokeping"
#GRAPHER_BACKENDS="dummy"

# With the cache enabled, IXP Manager does not have to regenerate / reload / reprocess
# log / rrd / image files if we have cached them and they are less than 5mins old. This
# is enabled by default which is the recommended setting.
GRAPHER_CACHE_ENABLED=true

#################################################################################
## Grapher - Mrtg - see: https://docs.ixpmanager.org/grapher/mrtg/
##

# For backwards compatibility, the default is 'log' but 'rrd' is more modern:
GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_DBTYPE="rrd"

# The defaults for these are '/tmp' to require you to change them to something
# more sensible such as:
GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_WORKDIR="/srv/mrtg"
GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_LOGDIR="/srv/mrtg"

#################################################################################
## Grapher - smokeping - see: https://docs.ixpmanager.org/grapher/smokeping/
##

# Mark it as enabled (this just affects whether certain UI elements are shown):
# GRAPHER_BACKEND_SMOKEPING_ENABLED=true

# And set the default location to fetch the Smokeping graphs from:
# GRAPHER_BACKEND_SMOKEPING_URL="http://www.example.com/smokeping"
