Keep your applications reachable with continuous BGP Route monitoring

Hi everyone,

Even when your servers and applications are healthy, internet routing issues such as route hijacks, route leaks, unexpected AS path changes, and route flapping can impact how users reach your services. These routing anomalies often occur outside your infrastructure, making them difficult to detect with traditional monitoring tools.

With the new BGP Route monitor, Site24x7 helps you proactively monitor your IP prefixes and their expected Origin AS  and quickly identify routing anomalies before they affect application availability or user connectivity.

Key benefits

  1. Detect route hijacks, route leaks, AS path changes, and route flapping in real time.
  2. Monitor specific IP prefixes and validate them against their expected Origin AS.Gain route visibility across multiple global vantage points.
  3. Visualize AS paths, routing trends, and geographic distribution of routing issues.
  4. Receive instant alerts and automate incident response using threshold profiles and IT Automation.

How it works

  1. Add a BGP Route Monitor and configure the IP Prefix and its expected Origin AS.
  2. Continuously monitor BGP route announcements from multiple internet vantage points.
  3. Each route is validated against the configured Origin AS and checked for routing anomalies and RPKI issues.
  4. Receive alerts when unexpected routing behavior or threshold violations are detected.
  5. Investigate issues using Prefix Details, List View, AS Flow View, and detailed routing information.
