Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Hi team,
In our Alice deployment we see in the BGP sessions Established section an uptime of 292 years, both for the IPv4 version and the IPv6 version. You can observe it clearly in the following screenshot.

Can you provide a fix for this issue? The birdwatcher is attached to a Bird v2 instance and we run the latest version both for Alice and birdwatcher.
Thanks

Hi,
this can be fixed in the alice config file, simply add this:
to the respective [source.rsfoo.birdwatcher] statement.
@mhannig: I guess you can resolve this issue however I'd suggest improving the documentation for the config file. I'd submit a PR but this was more or less trial and error
I think we can add this to the default config
btw is this bird2 specific?
Or maybe we can add to the documentation some guidelines like
if you are using XY in birdZ, then use
servertime = ...
....
otherwise:
servertime = ...
Hi Annika,
I have no bird1 installation I could test this with, all the insights I can give are that I'm using bird2 and the following time format settings:
I think adding this to the documentation as bird2 specific sounds good to me.
Hi again and thank's for the reply. I modified my alice.conf file and now I have this
I restarted the Alice process but the problem remains. Do I miss anything?
Thank's again.
Sorry, just realized my mistake and now I figured out where shall I place the workaround in the config. I did it and now I get the correct uptime being displayed.
That fix worked for Bird 1.6.8.
