Configure ASN Routing Reports
The ASN Routing Report provides you with an easy to understand overview of any changes in route announcements and peering relationships for your Autonomous System. The ASN Routing Report captures the current state of an ASN, highlighting the changes from the time the last report instance was generated. The report runs daily, but can also be triggered on demand.
Crosswork Cloud collects and persists the following information for a selected ASN:
-
Prefix BGP announcements
-
ASN peers
-
RIR, ROA, and RPSL prefix information
Important Notes
-
A report refers to the report configuration. A report instance is the result of running a single instance of the report and contains the generated data.
-
Each time a report instance is generated, the data is compared with the last generated report. The report instance includes a summary of changes from the last report. The last generated report can be either a daily report or a report generated manually.
-
Individual report instances are stored for 30 days and then are deleted from the system.
-
There is a limit of 30 total report instances that are saved per report configuration. The total report instances include both the daily reports and any reports generated on demand. For more information, see Generate Reports on Demand.
-
You can disable an ASN Routing Report (External Routing Analytics > Configure > Reports, then click the ASN Routing Report name and Disable) to prevent future generation of daily report instances. All previous report instances are still available unless they age out. However, if you delete an ASN Routing Report (External Routing Analytics > Configure > Reports, then click the ASN Routing Report name and Delete), all previous report instances are also deleted.
-
If you later unsubscribe from an ASN that is associated with a report configuration, no new report instances are generated. However, you will still be able to view prior report instances.
-
Report instances age out and are deleted if a paid Crosswork Cloud subscription expires.
-
You can also import or export report configurations. For more information, see Import and Export Configuration Files.
Before you begin
Procedure
Step 1 |
Confirm that you are subscribed to the ASN you are interested in. |
||
Step 2 |
In the main menu, click External Routing Analytics > Configure > Reports. |
||
Step 3 |
Click Add. |
||
Step 4 |
Enter a report name in the Name field. When a report is generated, that report instance is named "<report name>-<month>-<day>-<timestamp>". For example, if you configure the report name as ASN7100 and a report instance is generated on July 4, 2021 at 10:00 UTC, then the name given to that report instance is ASN7100-Jul-04-10:00-UTC. |
||
Step 5 |
Enter the ASN and any tags. |
||
Step 6 |
Click Add Endpoint and add the endpoint to which the daily report will be sent to.
|
||
Step 7 |
Click Save. The first report will be sent the next day to the endpoint you specified. |
