Warning: The project is generally abandoned, it depends on obsolete libraries, Python 2.7 and has been tested only with rather old routers and their software.

ULG version 0.9

development started in June 2012
sponsored by CZ.NIC (http://www.nic.cz)
intention is to create a versatile Looking Glass for various routers
genshi and cherrypy was used in the beginning
cherrypy was later dropped and simple CGI was used instead
the CGI scripts currently do not support mod_python nor mod_wsgi

Basic installation procedure is:

install prerequisites: Python 2.6 or 2.7, Genshi, Python CGI module, urllib, pexpect and pygraph and GraphViz
install additional router-specific prerequisities:

JuniperRouterRemoteTelnet: Telnet
CiscoRouter: OpenSSH client
BirdRouterRemote: OpenSSH client (default)

deploy files in src directory to some place in WWW tree
mkdir /etc/ulg; cp config.py.example /etc/ulg/config.py
edit config.py to set up routers and credentials
edit defaults.py to set up correct paths toward bins
create .htaccess file with following contents:

Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .py

(Or use corresponding config of your web server.)

access http://yourserver/path-to-ulg/ulg.py via browser
change strings and templates in defaults.py and templates/*.html .

Procedure for Debian Squeeze/Wheezy and Linux Mint 14 (nadia):

apt-get install python python-pexpect python-pygraph python-genshi libgv-python whois

All other steps are the same as in generic case.

Future plans:

This "pre-release" is only a preview and "technology demonstrator". Requests and contributions are welcomed. I intend to support BIRD (http://bird.network.cz) and Cisco routers and switches and support typical BGP-related commands and also IGP and L2 management commands in order to make LG more useful for ordinary NOC staff especially for information aquisition during outages and problems.
