Looking Glass needs a help page

Open ichilton opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

The route server looking glass page really needs a help page.

Users don't know what pb_1234_as12345, t_1234_12345 or master4 means.

Hmm. I thought I'd mentioned this somewhere before.

https://portal.lonap.net/lg/rs1-ipv4/route-search

Has a "Help" button that doesn't do anything. I've been asked in our training classes what it all means, and how to do the equivalent of Cisco "show ip bgp (neighbor) advertised-routes" for example.

Also it's still broken for the prefix display. Just gives an empty window.

It's not so easy to explain, but some stuff is configuration specific, so the help can't be too IXP-Manager specific, perhaps some customisable help box?

Is this the right place, or should this go in birdseye?

I was planning to link these to member names in the next iteration.

That's fixed in release-v6 @listerr via 5f7b338b16189c9284bf133f1fd8ca94355967fb and will be in the next release.
