+ Yet another node info collector `` (previously respond-collector

+ .
+ Build Status (https://travis-ci.org/FreifunkBremen/yanic) Coverage Status
+ (https://coveralls.io/github/FreifunkBremen/respond-collector?branch=master)
+ .
+ yanic is a respondd client that fetches, stores and publishes information
+ about a Freifunk network. The goals: * Generating JSON for Meshviewer
+ (https://github.com/ffrgb/meshviewer) * Storing statistics in InfluxDB
+ (https://influxdata.com/) to be analyzed by Grafana (http://grafana.org/)
+ * 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
+ (config_example.toml) for more information.  Live•
+ meshviewer (https://map.bremen.freifunk.net) Freifunk Bremen
+ with a patch to show state-version of nodes.json• grafana
+ (https://grafana.bremen.freifunk.net)  Freifunk Bremen show data of
+ InfluxDBHow it works It sends the gluon-neighbour-info request and
+ collects the answers.
+ .
+ It will send UDP packets with multicast group ff02:0:0:0:0:0:2:1001 and
+ port 1001.
+ .
+ If a node does not answer, it will request with the last know address
+ under the port 1001.  Related projects Collecting data from respondd: *
+ Node informant (https://github.com/ffdo/node-informant) written in Go *
+ HopGlass Server (https://github.com/plumpudding/hopglass-server) written
+ in Node.js
