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.

Very cool.
I wish I had a valid use case for my nodes, but they’re basically just toys at the moment.

Yeah, so far the most prevalent thing around my area has been “it’s a hobby for the sake of being a hobby.” No one does anything terribly useful or important with it. I can tell you that I would certainly never rely on it as a form of emergency communication.

Yeah its pretty spotty. A walky talkie would probably be better in an actual emergency. Im hoping meshcore or related projects will make it less spotty.
