Change Summary

This PR refactors the Monitoring page to comply with the current VyOS documentation style guide.

Changes:

  • AI & SEO Context: Added :description: and :keywords: metadata tags.
  • Content: Proofread and improved. The introduction now describes what Telegraf collects and how each output plugin delivers the data.
  • New sections “Configuration” and “Examples” added.
  • Technical accuracy: Verified commands against VyOS 1.5.
  • Added examples for all commands.
  • The style guide checklist was applied.

Added new conf-mode commands:
set service monitoring telegraf vrf
set service monitoring prometheus frr-exporter collector bgp accept-filtered-prefixes
set service monitoring prometheus frr-exporter collector bgp advertised-prefixes
set service monitoring prometheus frr-exporter collector bgp peer-description <json | plain-text>
set service monitoring prometheus frr-exporter collector bgp peer-group
set service monitoring prometheus frr-exporter collector bgp peer-hostname
set service monitoring prometheus frr-exporter collector bgp peer-type
set service monitoring prometheus frr-exporter collector bgp-l2-vpn
set service monitoring prometheus frr-exporter collector pim
set service monitoring prometheus frr-exporter collector ospf-instance <1-65535>

Relevant review context

  • T973 — “Create Prometheus Exporter for VyOS ” — Resolved: Prometheus exporters were intended to include node_exporter and frr_exporter; verify the documentation uses the supported exporter names and endpoints.
  • T6949 — “blackbox_exporter for probing endpoints” — Resolved: Blackbox Exporter supports connectivity monitoring such as ICMP/ping and DNS probing; examples should provide complete module configuration.
  • T6953 — “Group prometheus exporter config options” — Resolved: The documented hierarchy should be service monitoring prometheus {node-exporter|frr-exporter|blackbox-exporter}, rather than placing exporters directly under monitoring.
  • T4411 — “Add migration for service monitoring telegraf influxdb” — Resolved: Telegraf options should be nested under their plugin, e.g. telegraf influxdb ...; check that the rewritten commands consistently follow plugin-specific nesting.
  • T9002 — “blackbox-exporter ICMP probes fail silently in default configuration due to missing net.ipv4.ping_group_range permission” — Resolved: ICMP modules may require the associated permission handling; documentation should not imply that merely configuring an ICMP module guarantees successful probes without noting prerequisites.
  • T7794 — “Prometheus Exporters (Blackbox, FRR, Node) Fail to Start with IPv6 Listen Address Configuration” — Resolved: IPv6 listen-address values require bracketed formatting (for example, `
  • T4617 — “VRF specification is needed for telegraf prometheus-client listen-address ” — Resolved: Telegraf Prometheus-client configuration supports specifying a VRF alongside listen-address; verify the page documents both options and their relationship.

Added Blackbox listen and VRF settings, DNS and ICMP module options, protocol fallback, query requirements, timeouts, and complete configuration examples.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a99cf

The PR substantially updates the Monitoring documentation, but one L2VPN command still appears inconsistent with the supported command syntax and could lead users to apply an invalid configuration. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on that command.

docs/**/*.md: Canonical docs pages must be written as MyST Markdown (.md); edit existing pages in .md only and never use the old md- prefix for new pages.
Use {cfgcmd}, {opcmd}, and {cmdincludemd} fenced directives in MyST pages for VyOS command coverage; do not replace them with plain text or bash fences.
Use MyST ATX headings (#, ##, ###, etc.) in canonical pages; the RST heading hierarchy does not apply to .md sources.
In MyST pages, prefer single backticks for inline code; double backticks are reserved for embedded RST contexts.
Use % stop_vyoslinter and % start_vyoslinter comment markers in top-level MyST content to suppress real IPs or other allowed long-line exceptions, and keep them paired.
In MyST pages, write TODO markers as {todo} fenced directives.

File: CLAUDE.md:71-71
Timestamp: 2026-05-06T20:48:49.689Z
Learning: In vyos/vyos-documentation, the 80-character line-length rule documented under Source conventions / Formatting applies only to documentation source files located under docs/ (e.g., docs/**/*.rst and docs/**/*.md). The rule is enforced by the vyoslinter (doc-linter.py from vyos/.github) when reviewing changed files via lint-doc.yml, and only for files within docs/**. Do not suggest hard-wrapping CLAUDE.md (repo-root documentation) because GitHub renders and reflows content. For CLAUDE.md, reviews should not enforce the 80-char wrapping; apply the rule only to files matching **/docs/**/*.{rst,md}.

Learning: The 80-character line limit applies only to documentation sources under docs/** (RST/MD). Do not enforce this limit on repo-root Markdown files like CLAUDE.md or README.md. The vyoslinter (doc-linter.py, run via lint-doc.yml from vyos/.github) lints only changed files within docs/**; root files are excluded. GitHub renders root Markdown with viewport-width reflow, so hard-wrapping these files reduces readability without tooling benefit.

Do not flag line-length issues in repository-root Markdown files such as CLAUDE.md or README.md, which GitHub renders with viewport-width reflow. This applies to all files within docs/ that are part of the documentation source.

Learning: Enforce the 80-character line-length limit only for documentation source files under docs/ (docs/**/*.rst and docs/**/*.md). Do not flag repo-root files like CLAUDE.md or README.md, since they are rendered by GitHub and not subject to this rule. The doc-linter (doc-linter.py via lint-doc.yml) only lints docs/**, so CI checks won't flag root files for line length.

Learning: Limit the 80-character line length check and vyoslinter (doc-linter.py) enforcement to documentation source files under docs/**/*.{rst,md}. Do not apply or flag line-length issues in repo-root files like CLAUDE.md or README.md, which are rendered directly by GitHub and are not linted by lint-doc.yml.

Learning: For the VyOS documentation (MyST-based docs), MyST directive opener lines must keep the entire directive arguments on a single line. This includes MyST fenced-directive openers like ```{opcmd} ... ``` and the RST-equivalent form .. opcmd:: ... when ported/used in MyST. Because the MyST parser does not support wrapped/continued directive arguments across multiple lines, do not raise/keep review warnings suggesting line wrapping for these directive opener lines due to line-length (even if they exceed 80 characters).

CI does not enforce the 80-character limit for these specific opener lines, and existing documentation contains longer opener lines that pass lint.

Learning: In the vyos/vyos-documentation repo, when a PR is a byte-for-byte documentation port of an existing file from the rolling branch to a release branch (e.g., circinus, sagitta), keep the port content identical to the production-tested rolling source. For these ports, do not raise new review findings for documentation issues that are already present in the rolling source (for example, markdownlint MD059 like non-descriptive link text such as `[link]`/`[install]`). Instead, defer those existing issues to a rolling-side cleanup PR (e.g., `#2024`) and then backport the cleanup via Mergify.

Learning: In docs/**/*.md, for Markdown reference definition lines of the form `[label]: <URL>`, if the line cannot be shortened to <= 80 characters (because the URL itself is near/at the limit), suppress the vyoslinter warning by wrapping only that reference definition with a `% stop_vyoslinter` / `% start_vyoslinter` block. If the reference definition can fit within 80 characters, leave it outside any suppression block.

Learning: In the vyos/vyos-documentation MyST documentation pages, when writing CLI example invocations directly under a `{cfgcmd}` directive, use `none` fenced code blocks for those examples. Do not change these example blocks to `{opcmd}` or `{cfgcmd}`—`{opcmd}` is reserved for operational-mode commands, and the surrounding `{cfgcmd}` directive already documents the target command. Plain `none` blocks for these CLI examples are intentional and correct.

Relevant review context

  • T973 — “Create Prometheus Exporter for VyOS ” — status “Resolved”. Its discussion explicitly identified missing monitoring documentation; it also records that node_exporter was completed, FRR exporter work was underway, and the Prometheus client exposes /metrics by default. Verify the rewritten page matches these endpoints and supported exporters.

  • T6949 — “blackbox_exporter for probing endpoints” — status “Resolved”. Blackbox is intended for ICMP/ping and DNS probing. A discussion note says module configuration is required for IPv4/IPv6 ping and DNS A/AAAA probes, so the new module examples should include complete, usable configuration.

  • Configuration syntax is a key compatibility point. T6953 documents the migration from exporter options directly under monitoring to monitoring prometheus; T4411 similarly specifies plugin-specific nesting under telegraf. Confirm every command in the page uses the current hierarchy and hyphenation.

  • Relevant exporter edge cases are tracked. T9002 reports silent ICMP probe failures caused by ping_group_range permissions on 1.5.0-S1, while T7794 reports IPv6 listen-address failures when brackets are omitted. Both tasks are marked “Resolved”; ICMP and IPv6 examples should be checked against those fixes.

  • VRF behavior has prior tracking. T4617 records a resolved request for VRF support alongside Telegraf listen-address, making the new VRF/listen-address documentation particularly important to validate.
