# Meshtastic Metrics Exporter
[![CodeQL](https://github.com/tcivie/meshtastic-metrics-exporter/actions/workflows/github-code-scanning/codeql/badge.svg)](https://github.com/tcivie/meshtastic-metrics-exporter/actions/workflows/github-code-scanning/codeql)
The `meshtastic-metrics-exporter` is a tool designed to export nearly all available data from an MQTT server to a
Prometheus server. It comes with a pre-configured Grafana dashboard connected to both data sources, allowing users to
start creating dashboards immediately.
The `meshtastic-metrics-exporter` is a tool designed to export nearly all available data from an MQTT server
to a Prometheus server. It comes with a pre-configured Grafana dashboard connected to both data sources,
allowing users to start creating dashboards immediately.
## Features
- Exports a comprehensive set of metrics from an MQTT server to Prometheus.
- Comes with a Grafana dashboard configured to connect to both Prometheus and Postgres data sources.
- Comes with some basic dashboards, see the section below for general view of the dashboards
- Stores node details (ID, short/long name, hardware details, and client type) in a Postgres server, which is also part of
the package.
- Stores node details (ID, short/long name, hardware details, and client type) in a Postgres server, which is also part
of the package.
- Configuration via a `.env` file.
### Grafana Dashboards
The project comes wtih 2 dashboards.
#### Main Dashboard

### Database Structure
> The dashboard has some basic data about the mesh network and it's data is temporarely updated (With new data coming in it would fill out the missing pieces automatically)
The system uses PostgreSQL with the following tables:
#### 1. messages
- Stores message IDs and timestamps
- Auto-expires messages older than 1 minute using a trigger
```sql
Columns:
- id (TEXT, PRIMARY KEY)
- received_at (TIMESTAMP)
```
#### 2. node_details
- Stores basic information about mesh nodes
```sql
Columns:
- node_id (VARCHAR, PRIMARY KEY)
- short_name (VARCHAR)
- long_name (VARCHAR)
- hardware_model (VARCHAR)
- role (VARCHAR)
- mqtt_status (VARCHAR, default 'none')
- longitude (INT)
- latitude (INT)
- altitude (INT)
- precision (INT)
- created_at (TIMESTAMP)
- updated_at (TIMESTAMP)
```
#### 3. node_neighbors
- Tracks connections between nodes
```sql
Columns:
- id (SERIAL, PRIMARY KEY)
- node_id (VARCHAR, FOREIGN KEY)
- neighbor_id (VARCHAR, FOREIGN KEY)
- snr (FLOAT)
```
#### 4. node_configurations
- Stores detailed configuration and timing information for nodes
```sql
Columns:
- node_id (VARCHAR, PRIMARY KEY)
- last_updated (TIMESTAMP)
- environment_update_interval (INTERVAL)
- environment_update_last_timestamp (TIMESTAMP)
- device_update_interval (INTERVAL)

- range_test_interval (INTERVAL)
- range_test_packets_total (INT)
- range_test_first_packet_timestamp (TIMESTAMP)
- range_test_last_packet_timestamp (TIMESTAMP)
- pax_counter_interval (INTERVAL)
- pax_counter_last_timestamp (TIMESTAMP)
- neighbor_info_interval (INTERVAL)

### Grafana Dashboards
The project comes with 2 dashboards.
#### Main Dashboard
![Main Dashboard](https://github.com/tcivie/meshtastic-metrics-exporter/assets/87943721/9679c140-c5f7-4ea5-bfc6-0173b52fb28c)
> The dashboard has some basic data about the mesh network and its data is temporarily updated
> (With new data coming in it would fill out the missing pieces automatically)
**Note:** The dashboard contains links to nodes that target `localhost:3000`.
If you're accessing Grafana from a different host, you'll need to modify these links in the panel configuration
to match your Grafana server's address.
#### User Panel
<img width="1470" alt="SCR-20240707-qhth" src="https://github.com/tcivie/meshtastic-metrics-exporter/assets/87943721/58f15190-127d-4481-b896-1c3e2121dea5">
> This panel can be reached from the "Node ID" link on the main dashboard (The table in the center) or you can go to it from the dashbaords tab in grafana and select the node you want to spectate. This board includes some telemetry data and basic information about the node.

> Both boards also include node graph which allows you to view nodes which are sending [Neighbour Info packets](https://meshtastic.org/docs/configuration/module/neighbor-info)
> As long as we have some node which is connected to our MQTT server the data would be read buy the exporter and parsed as node graph. The line colors indicate the SNR value and the arrow is the direction of the flow captured (It can be two way). And the node circle color indicates which node is connected to MQTT (Green) which one is disconnected from MQTT (Red) and unknown (Gray - Never connected to the MQTT server)

**I highly recomend giving the system to stabilize over 24 hours before seeking any useful information from it.**
