Research direction

Start by locating the telemetry integration for BIG-IP BGP data and the Grafana and Alertmanager configuration. Use the IMISH CLI output as the reference for the requested BGP state, message counts, table versions, and prefix counts. Done means these details are exposed for continuous monitoring and alerting.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In order to continuously monitor routing based changes which can be caused/inflicted by outside entities, it would be imperative to be able to use Grafana (and by extension Alertmanager) to monitor the salient BGP detail, which are normally provided by IMISH on CLI.

Examples of useful info:

-BGP State
-Received Messages
-Sent Messages
-BGP Table Version
-Neighbor Table Version
-Accepted Prefixes
-Announced Prefixes
