Here is the config file :

[root@test-vnf-s22 blk]# cat conf.ini
process announce-routes {
run /usr/bin/python3.8 /tmp/blk/final_script.py;
encoder json;
}

neighbor 10.91.126.140 {
router-id 10.55.55.2;
local-address 10.55.55.2;
local-as 15404;
peer-as 8222;

api {
processes [announce-routes];
}

family {
ipv4 unicast;
}
}

Systemd config:

This is a sysadmin question, not an exabgp issue. I appreciate that it prevents you from doing what you want, but this is not something I can "fix". It is probably an issue with the current working directory, path and/or env. I wish you good luck in debugging it.

If you are generous, please help us with the Wiki and provide a page for other users which may encounter the same challenge as you do.

Thanks thomas for the response. let me check from my end . do you have any sample systemd config with trigger exabgp and python script inside exabgp to announce route.

[vijayqwe]

Thomas after modifying systemd config file exabgp.service like below it worked. Thanks again.
