Sorry I've been of little help only attending a few meetings. I've been working on finishing touches to a gift economy web page.

One aspect I'm trying to build on is a peer sharing feature that allows a shared gift service (eg internet) to be easily duplicated and reviewed by peers, users who would like to be notified of similar services based on keywords can opt in. There is also mapping features. 

The main issue is promoting the service while privacy and net neutrality is being struck down. 

So my question is: can we load balance, efficiently route traffic, and provide tor on the back end to multiple uplinks - ie business line t1's, sonic and other sharable connections.

I think this would be a good way to promote what many users want. 

This would be pursued under Creative Commons/Sweat Equity provisions unless someone has a better idea?

Hey all,

So I've been messing around  with the collectd daemon, which
I think will work quite well for collecting statistics from the mesh
nodes.

Specifically, I was able to set up two copies of the daemon
and have a "client" (a PicoStation) transmit data to a "server"
(my laptop), which stores the data in RRD files (circular
databases of time-series data). From there, there appear
to be many tools that can produce pretty graphics (cacti,
cricket, drraw), but I haven't really explored this too much.

It is easy to set up and pretty lightweight and I believe it can
also be made to scale rather well. I didn't find a BATMAN module,
but there is one for OLSR which we could pillage. It uses a push
model (clients initiate the sending of data), which might be a good
fit for a decentralized network.

If we go this route we're going to need a machine on the mesh
running a web server that receives the RRD data from all the
nodes (and optionally syslog data).

Looks pretty good. I'll try to set it up on a node. I also ordered a couple of microcontrollers with microsd card slots that we can hook up to the serial interface on nodes to log crashes.

Hey folks,

Last week at the meeting we talked a bunch about the necessity of
getting some basic node monitoring/error reporting up. Chris J mentioned
that NRPE w/ an Icinga (nagios fork) monitor server would be a
potentially quick and easy way to bootstrap some basic reporting. Alex
said that he was going to try to install the openWRT NRPE package on a
node and try to get a monitor server build receiving info from that test
node.

Are there any status updates on this? Alex, I realized I don't have your
email, so this is kind of my overly-public way of getting in touch. I
have some time this week to work on this, but I thought I'd check in to
see where other folks were at to prevent any duplication of efforts.
Also, I realized that if you need github write access, I can provide you
with that.



Awesome - keep on meshin!
