hi Cris,

Thank you for the welcome <3

it is ok, pirania was the first approach we used to control the network
currently it was turned off.

Here you can have some info about the network
https://open.janastu.org/projects/cowmesh

We are not having the phone booths anymore, currently we have a kiosk
inside the school to allow who does not have a device to connect to
internet and the "gate" is down, APs connection is open without pirania.
We have a server providing some services but seems that people is not using
it so much, understanding their internet usage could help us to
provide services that feets better to their needs (I believe that
talking to them also can help in such way but I have the perception of when we
directly ask the answer use to be different of how they really behave
hehe)

I spoke to them and they agree, what infos we should to provide?

this stands for traffic control, it is a package that can be used by
libremesh/openwrt.

thank you for sharing the documentation. I was reading it and can you
please help me to understand some details?

I saw that you have configured prometheus with 3 groups:
- station(AP), node(mesh) and home(gatway)
So the configuration of each node-export of them are diffents?
Do you have examples?

ohhhhh it is nice to use Ansible to give a hand <3 in our case, is a
single network and we was already using grafana to monitor local services
so adding a new category for the network itself was not an issue BUT
currently all the nodes are threated as the same hehe...
Can you share please the template you are using to plot the graphs? I
would like to compare the differences between what we have.

Was really nice to meet you and everybody else during the meeting.

bjs,
