We have an ever expanding network of MikroTik routers talking eBGP to eachother over radio links.
When some link is down for whatever reason, the routers start to log messages every 30 seconds,
all tagged with “route, bgp, info”.
The messages are:
- Failed to open TCP connection: No route to host
- RemoteAddress = ww.xx.yy.zz
Is there a possibility to suppress these messages, or better: only the regular repetition of the same messages?
They tend to overflow the log area and scroll more interesting messages out of reach.
Of course I could configure an external log server and do handling there (syslog-ng can do elaborate matching
on message contents), but I wonder if it is possible within the MikroTik to configure the logging of info events so that
these messages are not captured.
I know how to create a logging class that captures only certain events, and I know that “NOT” can be used in those
definitions, but I do not see a way to configure “info but not route, bgp, info”. Is that possible?
Or alternatively, to configure BGP so it does not emit those messages.
