3 weeks ago When exabgp is provided with multiple configuration files, it will fork an instance per file and run it. Each process is fully independent and can not access the resources of the other. You will also have a problem if you use the CLI as they will both be attempting to access the same underlying pipe.
While not documented, this limitation becomes logical once you understand what is in the background. However, it's understandable that this concept may not be immediately clear.
To do what you want, you can:
- merge both peer under the file
- give each process a different process section name
- use one of each per peer
It's important to note that when using a single configuration file, exabgp will only utilise a single core, as opposed to the 2 cores used when forking.
To preempt a question I was already asked, I am not looking at adding configuration templating to exabgp. There are good external tools for it, and the parsing code is complex enough as it is—sorry.
for your script what you want is more likely to be something like:
import socket
import sys
s = None
backlog = []
def main():
while True:
line = sys.stdin.readline().strip()
if not any(line):
sys.exit(0)
backlog.append(line + '\n')
# if it grows too much perhaps better bomb out?
if s is None:
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(("", 1790))
try:
while backlog:
sending = backlog[0]
s.sendall((sending).encode())
backlog = backlog[1:]
except Exception:
s = None
exit(5)
if __name__ == "__main__":
try:
main()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass

Describe the bug Running exabgp, I am not able to announce routes to certain neighbors. In this example it's neighbor 10.90.0.3
I had a look at issues
To Reproduce I am running exabgp as following:
config diff
I am trying to announce routers to the neighbors using exabgpcli.
10.90.0.2.conf
10.90.0.3.conf
notifier.py
Expected behavior Announce to neighbor should be done succesfully by exabgpcli.
Environment (please complete the following information):
