This is a generic metrics post to leverage a spare ESP32 meshtastic node to ingest metrics into Grafana! We've had some congestion issues due to poor config in my area, and this has helped me pinpoint which nodes are causing the biggest problems, and block them at my repeater.

Agreed! I wish they could have worked with meshtastic instead of trying to get everyone off and using their project. Which is totally open source but not really.

I think the next year or so will be interesting in the space. Im just sitting here with my little nodes making an impromtu weather station.

    What’s the difference between the two? Reading the GitHub for meshcore, it sounds exactly like meshtastic. What makes it better?

    The primary thing is rather than "dumb" flood routing, you can choose the path your message takes to its destination; as a repeater operator you can also choose the path it takes to repeat out. Its a slight compensation to people carelessly placing infrastructure nodes with poor configurations in poor places. Not perfect, but better. Adoption is much, much lower though, and the licensing is not copyleft.
