** Bug Report **

BGP UP/Connected message is not showing in the logs. [ExaBGP : 4.2.21]

Describe the bug

Upgraded from 3.14.9 version to 4.2.21. We are seeing BGP connected messages in the log file. Only Shutdown message appears in the log file. Found below insights while looking for the resolution. Not sure if this is the reason ie. DEBUG messages? Can we see this log messages in the upcoming versions?

[ src/exabgp/reactor/protocol.py ]
before:
123 log.debug(reason, self.connection.session())
after:
123 log.info(reason, self.connection.session())

Any insights to resolve this would be really appreciated.

The stdout logs format is not a stable API, please do not use code which parse it, it can change without warning.

The way to get it is by using the API feature. If you updated from 3 to 4 you also need to look at the wiki for the API change too.

The format on master (what will be 5.x) has changed too.
