Hit count for route map and other routing objects

[boneyard]

haven't been able to find anything on knowledge base or while searching in general but maybe not (well) documented.

is there a way to check for hits on routing route map / acl / prefix lists counters. like when you create one that allows some and denies other, can you see which of the options is hit how often?

Hello @boneyard . The short answer is No. there is no way to see the number of hits for routing objects. The best way to see if they are working is by the effect of their application.

Besides, at least route-maps work only for filtering advertised/advertising routes. They won't be hit by user traffic/packets. So results of route-maps can be confirmed only by the routing protocol by comparing the routes or route counts before and after applying the route-maps.

Yeah sort of fair, you could still count the prefixes accepted or denied to see if some aren't advertised anymore.

Thanks for your input.
