Is there any way<br>> we can get this working, even if its semi manually for now? Is there any<br>> hope to have that multi IXP functionality working.<br><br>The history of multi-IXP functionality is that it was added under a<br>commercial support arrangement with an organisation that never ended up<br>using IXP Manager.<br><br>Multi-IXP functionality is not functionality that INEX / the main<br>developers want or need and nor is it something that the core target<br>market for IXP Manager needs. The core/target market being small to<br>medium IXPs.<br><br>The unfortunate reality is that we have a feature list as long as our<br>arms of things we want and need and so there is no possibility of that<br>specific functionality being re-implemented in v4.<br><br>It's not all dark and gloomy though:<br><br>> Firstly, is there any other functionality that wasnt ported across from<br>> the 3. codebase that affects Multi ixp.<br><br>We have conscientiously dropped support for the explicit "multi-IXP"<br>functionality. There is too much overhead and too little time to<br>maintain code that is not core to the project.<br><br>But:<br><br>> Secondly, Ive heard of hacks to get the graphing working. Is there<br>> anyone who can nudge me in the right direction?<br><br>In the main, multi-IXP functionality provided ways of generating<br>configuration for ancillary services on a per-IXP basis. As we move<br>stuff from the older code base to the newer code base, we've generally<br>stopped doing stuff on a per-IXP basis and now generate scripts as<br>appropriate on a per-infrastructure or per-VLAN basis (VLANs being<br>children of infrastructure).<br><br>In other words, the multi-IXP functionality is mostly implemented by<br>using infrastructures.<br><br>One of the few things that I can think of that this doesn't include is<br>graphing which, right now, is an 'all or nothing' system.<br><br>We have however written a new graphing backend:<br><br>http://docs.ixpmanager.org/features/grapher/<br><br>It should be relatively easy for an experienced PHP programmer to copy<br>the MRTG backend to create a new one that works on a per infrastructure<br>basis.<br><br>If you want to do this and the code is fit for purpose, we'd be happy to<br>accept a pull request that includes:<br><br> - the code<br> - updates to the documentation<br><br>See:<br><br>https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md<br><br>To ensure a PR is successful, it would be advisable to link in with us<br>on the planned methodology.<br><br>Cheers,<br> - Barry<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>INEX IXP Manager mailing list<br>ixpmanager@inex.ie<br>https://www.inex.ie/mailman/listinfo/ixpmanager<br></div><br></div></body></html>
