Error retrieving RPKI information from Routinator

[tverschuren]

BGPAlerter error retrieving RPKI information from Routinator http service.

BGPalerter appends ?client=ntt-bgpalerter to the url, which is not accepted by Routinator.

Testing with curl shows http://127.0.0.1:8323/json results in RPKI data, while http://127.0.0.1:8323/json?client=ntt-bgpalerter results in a "Bad Request" response.

Find the relevant log attached. log.txt

config.yml
rpki:
vrpProvider: api
preCacheROAs: true
url: http://127.0.0.1:8323/json

Versions
Debian 10
BGPalerter 1.28.1
Routinator 0.9.0

Is it possible to prevent bgpalerter from appending the client part?

Let me know if more info/logs/testing is needed.

Hi @tverschuren,

Thanks for reporting this. I'm not sure since when this started to happen.
I pushed a patch but I don't know when I can release it in production.
In the meanwhile, you can:

1. create a cronjob to download the api output of Routinator and use a vrpFile configuration in BGPalerter; or
2. deploy/compile the patched version currently available in the dev/release branch.
