About:
Monocle is a command-line interface tool designed to query and analyze BGP data from the BGPKIT data services. It provides fast access to historical and real-time BGP routing information, enabling network operators and researchers to investigate routing anomalies and network topology.
Key Features:
  • Query BGP data by prefix, ASN, or time range
  • Support for multiple output formats (JSON, CSV)
  • Integration with BGPKIT's comprehensive data sources
  • Fast and efficient data retrieval
Use Cases:
  • Investigating BGP hijacks or route leaks
  • Analyzing historical routing changes for network forensics
  • Monitoring prefix visibility across the global routing table
Alternatives:
  • bgpq4 – bgpq4 focuses on generating prefix filters from IRR data, whereas Monocle focuses on querying actual BGP routing data.
  • RIPEstat – RIPEstat is a web-based interface for RIPE NCC data; Monocle offers a CLI alternative with access to broader multi-source data.
