Description

Every day we download two snapshots from mirrorbrain.org with ipv4 and ipv6 route information. These are loaded into table "pfx2asn". Unfortunately, the 'pfx^ column is of type 'ip4r' which only accepts ipv4 ranges.

When the daily job reports:

Downloading http://mirrorbrain.org/routeviews/oix-full-snapshot-latest.dat.bz2
nothing imported, no change comitted to the database

That is really a problem - it means our pfx2asn table was NOT updated, but it should ALWAYS be updated.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/asn_imp2", line 95, in
import_raw()
File "/tmp/asn_imp2", line 74, in import_raw
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO %s VALUES ( %%s, %%s )" % tablename, [pfx, asn])
psycopg2.DataError: invalid IP4R value: "2001::/32"
LINE 1: INSERT INTO pfx2asn VALUES ( '2001::/32', 1101 )

Therefore, the import fails and ALL the changes are rolled back.

I am wondering if maybe asn_get_routeview and asn_import were updated (in apache2-mod_asn-tools) without our database being updated?

I hesitate suggesting changing the column type to 'iprange' which accepts both ipv4 and ipv6 ranges, I have no idea what it might affect.

To start with, I'll just remove the file from the download. See /usr/bin/asn_get_routeviews.

Correction - looking at the setup sql in apache2-mod_asn :

CREATE TABLE "pfx2asn" (
"pfx" iprange NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
"asn" integer NOT NULL
);

the schema was updated to use 'iprange', but when we updated pontifex, this was not spotted. I suggest this problem is best fixed by just ALTERing that column type from 'ip4r' to 'iprange'.

I have updated the column type to 'iprange'. It was automatically propagated from mirrordb1 to mirrordb2. I did a reload of the pfx2asn table, worked fine.

Reopening. I tried to add some new mirrors this morning, "mb new" complained about ip4r_size being used in an ORDER BY clause.
This seems to be in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/mb/asn.py, from package python-mb.

I have updated asn.py, line 53, to use iprange instead of ip4r and iprange_size instead of ip4r_size.

I don't know if this is related, but -

looking at the weblogs for 20200105, and only requests for distribution/leap/15.1/repo (to limit the amount of data), I see 23693 unique address of which 20128 did not have any geolocation. That can't be right. Looking at the aame for 20200204, I also see addresses sometimes correctly geolocated, sometimes not. E.g. 102.141.173.49 - this is an address in South Africa, so should read 'AF:ZA'. In the logs from that date, 14 it is correct, 54 times it is not.

AFAICT, this is not related to my fixing the routeviews problem. The country and continent are looked up my the maxmind module. I think I will open a separate issue.

you can drop mod_asn and related tools from pontifex. we can leave postgresqlXY-ip4r for now but it is only used in the mod_asn table IIRC

the whole ASN and Geo data lookup is now handled in via mod_maxminddb.

<IfModule mod_maxminddb.c>
        MaxMindDBEnable On

        # ###
        # specify database locations
        #
        MaxMindDBFile CITY_DB    /etc/apache2/dbs/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
        MaxMindDBFile ASN_DB     /etc/apache2/dbs/GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb

        # ###
        # assign the lookup result to an environment variable
        #
        #                   variable              DB name/selector
        #
        MaxMindDBEnv        GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE    CITY_DB/country/iso_code
        MaxMindDBEnv        GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME    CITY_DB/country/names/en
        MaxMindDBEnv        GEOIP_CONTINENT_CODE  CITY_DB/continent/code
        MaxMindDBEnv        GEOIP_LATITUDE        CITY_DB/location/latitude
        MaxMindDBEnv        GEOIP_LONGITUDE       CITY_DB/location/longitude
        MaxMindDBEnv        ASN                   ASN_DB/autonomous_system_number


        #                   DB name               variable
        #
        MaxMindDBNetworkEnv ASN_DB                PFX
        </IfModule>

With the recent upgrade of libmaxminddb and mod_maxminddb even the PFX match is working again.

In table pfx2asn, I changed the column to 'iprange', back in January. So I don't even need to run asn_get_routeview etc?

Ah, that's cool.

I guess you've found ours in /var/lib/GeoIP.

Hi there - and a Happy and Healthy 2022!

I'm currently closing old tickets which did not see much change.
If the main concern still exists and should be handled, please re-open by just replying to this Email.

Thanks in advance,
Lars
