+# Hyperglass PyLint: Notes
+#
+# This is a mostly default pylintrc file, generated by PyLint. Only cosmetic parameters have been
+# changed, mostly naming-style standards.
+#
+# Additionally, the "cyclic-import" and "logging-fstring-interpolation" messages have been disabled.
+#
+# "cyclic-import" was disabled due to the structure of the project; almost all modules rely on or
+# pass data back and forth between other modules.
+#
+# "logging-fstring-interpolation" was disabled due to me thinking it's stupid. I find fstrings
+# extremely valuable, and while I could get around this default setting by setting variables for
+# each log message, e.g.:
+#     log_message = f"Error: {var1}, {var2}, {var3}"
+#     logger.error(log_message)
+# I find this to be needlessly obtuse, and therefore log fstrings directly:
+#     logger.error(f"Error: {var1}, {var2}, {var3}")
+# Perhaps this is "incorrect", but it works well and is more elegant, in my uneducated opinion.
+#
+# "duplicate-code" was disabled due to PyLint complaining about using the same logzero debug
+# configuration in two files. Apparently having a consistent logging configuration is "bad".

+# hyperglass-bird
+
+hyperglass-bird is a restful API for the BIRD routing stack, for use by [hyperglass](https://github.com/checktheroads/hyperglass). hyperglass-bird ingests an HTTP POST request with JSON data and constructs 1 of 5 shell commands to run based on the passed parameters. For example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "query_type": "ping",
+  "afi": "ipv4",
+  "source": "192.0.2.1",
+  "target": "1.1.1.1"
+}
+```
+
+Would construct (by default) `ping -4 -c 5 -I 192.0.2.1 1.1.1.1`, execute the command, and return the output as a string.
+
+For BGP commands, BIRD's `birdc` and `birdc6` are used to get the output. For example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "query_type": "bgp_route",
+  "afi": "ipv6",
+  "target": "2606:4700:4700::/48"
+}
+```
+Would construct (by default) `birdc6 -r show route all where 2606:4700:4700::/48 ~ net`, execute the command, and return the output as a string.
+
+BGP AS Path and Community queries are converted from "standard" hyperglass-supported syntax to BIRD's syntax:
+
+```json
+{
+  "query_type": "bgp_aspath",
+  "afi": "dual",
+  "target": "_65000$"
+}
+```
+
+Would construct `birdc -r show route all where bgp_path ~ [= * 65000 =]` and `birdc6 -r show route all where bgp_path ~ [= * 65000 =]` and concatenate the output for both commands.
+

+# chown -R bird:bird /opt/hyperglass-bird
+```
+
+### Generate API Key
+```console
+$ cd /opt/hyperglass-bird
+$ python3 manage.py generate-key
+Your API Key is: B3K1ckWUpwNyFU1F
+Your Key Hash is: $pbkdf2-sha256$29000$9T5njNFaS6lVag1B6H2vFQ$mLEbQD5kOAgjfZZ1zEVlrke6wE8vBEHzK.zI.7MOAVo
+```
+
+Copy the API Key, in this example `B3K1ckWUpwNyFU1F` and add it to `configuration.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[api]
+# listen_addr = "*"
+# port = 8080
+key = "B3K1ckWUpwNyFU1F"
+```
+
+If needed, you can uncomment the `listen_addr` or `port` varibales if you need to define a specific listen address or TCP port for hyperglass-bird to run on. For exmaple:
+
+```toml
+[api]
+listen_addr = "10.0.1.1"
+port = 8001
+key = "B3K1ckWUpwNyFU1F"
+```
+
+In hyperglass, configure `devices.toml` to use the Key Hash (in this example `$pbkdf2-sha256$29000$9T5njNFaS6lVag1B6H2vFQ$mLEbQD5kOAgjfZZ1zEVlrke6wE8vBEHzK.zI.7MOAVo`) as your FRRouting device's password:
+
+```toml
+[router.'router1']
+address = "10.0.0.1"
+asn = "65000"
+src_addr_ipv4 = "192.0.2.1"
+src_addr_ipv6 = "2001:db8::1"
+credential = "bird_api_router1"
+location = "pop1"
+display_name = "POP 1"
+port = "8080"
+type = "bird"
+proxy = ""
+
+[credential.'bird_api_router1']
+username = "bird"
+password = "$pbkdf2-sha256$29000$9T5njNFaS6lVag1B6H2vFQ$mLEbQD5kOAgjfZZ1zEVlrke6wE8vBEHzK.zI.7MOAVo"
+```
+
+## Start hyperglass-bird
+
+```console
+# systemctl restart hyperglass-bird
+# systemctl status hyperglass-bird
+```
+
+## Test
+
+hyperglass-bird should now be active, and you can run a simple test to verify that it is working apart from your main hyperglass implementation:
+
+```python
+>>> import json
+>>> import requests
+>>> query = '{"query_type": "bgp_route", "afi": "ipv4", "target": "1.1.1.0/24"}'
+>>> query_json = json.dumps(query)
+>>> headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'X-API-Key': '$pbkdf2-sha256$29000$m9M6R.j9HwMgJGRs7f0/Jw$5HERwfOIn3P0U/M9t5t04SmgRmTzk3435Lr0duqz07w'}
+>>> url = "http://192.168.15.130:8080/bird"
+>>> output = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=query_json)
+>>> print(output.text)
+```
