      Does anyone know of a way to monitor OpenBGPD status?  ie. looking for a way to monitor the status or BGP sessions, up, down, etc.  SNMP would be great as we already use it for so much and our NMS could store historical data on how long sessions are up, down, transitioning, etc.  I've done a bunch of searching for info, but it's all really old.  Polling pfSense with the generic OIDs (1.3.6.1.2.1.15) gives no results (unsupported).

      Thanks in advance.

        OpenBGPD messages used to show up in System Logs > General, and I'm pretty sure those were also included in Syslog messages.  I feel like in one of the recent updates they have been moved to System Logs > Routing.  These Routing messages are only sent to the Syslog server when Everything is checked in the Settings, but, I don't want to flood my Syslog server with every firewall event.  Any way to enable the Routing messages to be sent via Syslog without seeing every firewall message?  Seems odd that there's category of Syslog group for everything but Routing gets dumped into Firewall.
