Yet another node info collector

Build Status Coverage Status

yanic is a respondd client that fetches, stores and publishes information about a Freifunk network. The goals:

  • Generating JSON for Meshviewer
  • Storing statistics in InfluxDB to be analyzed by Grafana
  • Provide a little webserver for a standalone installation with a meshviewer

Usage

Usage of ./yanic:
  -config path/to/config.toml

Configuration

Read comments in config_example.toml for more information.

Live

  • meshviewer Freifunk Bremen with a patch to show state-version of nodes.json
  • grafana Freifunk Bremen show data of InfluxDB

How it works

In the first step Yanic sends a multicast message to the group ff02:0:0:0:0:0:2:1001 and port 1001. Recently seen nodes that does not reply are requested via a unicast message.
