Hi Glenn,
 
There is also bird-snmp-agent that works with LibreNMS out of the box if you 
are looking for something quick.

While I am not sure who the original author was as there were multiple copies 
of the package on both web and github - I've added support for bird2 and some 
quality (or so I like to think) documentation.

https://github.com/mikenowak/bird-snmp-agent

The only caveat is that IPv6 BGP sessions can not be currently monitored, as 
BGP4-MIB does not have support for IPv6.

I've researched a possibility to include support for BGP4-V2-MIB which includes 
IPv6 peers support, but at the time we had limited interest in IPv6 - so that 
never got done.

I also recall that there were changes required to LibreNMS to get BGP4-V2-MIB 
working.

If you are not necessary limited to Nagios (Barry's reply) or LibreNMS (the 
above) then you may also consider prometheus exporter for bird by Daniel 
Czerwonk - https://github.com/czerwonk/bird_exporter

HTH,
Michal
