The BGPmon::Fetch::Archive module, to connect to an online archive of BGP files, download XML files and read XML messages one at a time.
The BGPmon::Fetch::Archive module provides functionality to connect to an BGP archive and read one XML message at a time.
use BGPmon::Fetch::Archive; my $ret = init_bgpdata('scratch_dir' => '/tmp/', 'ignore_incomplete_data' => 1, 'ignore_data_errors' => 0); my $ret = connect_archive('archive.netsec.colostate.edu/collectors/bgpdata-netsec/', 1234567890,2345678901); my $xml_msg = read_xml_message(); my $ret = is_connected(); my $num_read = messages_read(); my $num_files = files_read(); my $uptime = uptime(); my $ret = close_connection(); my $downtime = connection_endtime(); my $duration = connection_duration();

Initializes the scratch directory and error-checking flags for the next archive connection. Input: The location to create a scratch directory in (default is /tmp) Whether to ignore potentially incomplete data (default is to check) Whether to ignore all data errors (must also specify ignore incomplete data flag as well) (default is to check) Output: 0 if initialization fails 1 if initialization succeeds Usage: my $ret = init_bgpdata('scratch_dir' => '/tmp', 'ignore_incomplete_data' => 1, 'ignore_data_errors' => 0);
Connects to an online archive.
Input: archive URL page for some collector (i.e. "archive.netsec.colostate.edu/bgpdata-netsec/") start/end (UNIX timestamps corresponding to the data interval the user wants)
Output: 0 on success, 1 on failure
Usage: my $ret = connect_archive( 'archive.netsec.colostate.edu/collectors/bgpdata-netsec', 1234567890, 2345678901);
Reads the next XML message from the data source that is in the interval.
Input: None, but assumes connect_archive has been called
Output: The next XML message from the archive "stream" or undef
Usage: my $msg = read_xml_message();
Function to close and delete any files and reset the module's state variables
Function to report whether currently connected to an archive.
Get number of messages read.
Usage: my $num_msgs = messages_read();
Get the number of files read.
Usage: my $num_files = files_read();
Returns number of seconds the connection has been up. If the connection is down, return 0.
Usage: my $time = uptime();
Returns the time the connection ended . If the connection is up, return 0.
Usage: my $time = connection_endtime();
Returns the total time the last connection was up for. If the connection is up, returns 0.
NOTE: If a connection is currently established, call uptime().
Usage: my $dur = connection_duration();
Get the error code for a given function
Input : the name of the function whose error code we should report
Output: the function's error code or UNDEFINED_ARGUMENT if the user did not supply a function or INVALID_FUNCTION_SPECIFIED if the user provided an invalid function
Usage: my $err_code = get_error_code("connect_archive");
Get the error message of a given function
Input : the name of the function whose error message we should report
Output: the function's error message or UNDEFINED_ARGUMENT if the user did not supply a function or INVALID_FUNCTION_SPECIFIED if the user provided an invalid function
Usage: my $err_msg = get_error_message("read_xml_message");
Shorthand call for get_error_message
0: No Error 'No Error' 401: A subroutine was missing an expected argument 'Undefined Argument(s)' 402: There is no active connection to an archive 'Not connected to an archive' 403: There is a currently-active connection to an archive 'Already connected to an archive' 404: The module was unable to find an HTML index page or any download links on the index page 'Unable to find an index page' 405: A system call failed 'System call failed' 406: An invalid value was passed to a subroutine as an argument 'Invalid value given for argument' 407: The connection could not be initialized, either by a failure to set the scratch directory, ignore-error flags, or the first update file could not be loaded. 'Failed to initialize connection to archive' 408: A filesystem 'open' command failed 'File operation failed' 409: There was a failure trying to download a file 'Failed to download file' 410: An invalid XML message was read, or the end of the archive was read 'Invalid message read' 411: An invalid function name was passed to get_error_[code/message/msg] 'Invalid function specified' 412: User tried to ignore all data errors, but was checking for incomplete data 'Cannot have ignore_incomplete_data off with ignore_data_errors on'
