MESHPROM

A simple script for collecting information about Meshtastic nodes and presenting them in Prometheus Node-Exporter format.

The script is in the testing phase!

The script consists of two Docker containers.

• node-device-stats - a virtual Meshtastic node is running inside, which exposes its API on the standard port 4403.
• meshprom - inside, you'll find the Meshtastic Python CLI, from which the output of the meshtastic --listen command is processed and made available in Prometheus Node-Exporter format.

To start using it, you need to build the images and run the containers:

docker compose up -d --build

To communicate with the node inside the container without exposing the API externally and using the local Meshtastic CLI, you can use the command:

docker exec meshprom meshtastic --host node-device-stats --export-config

Example Prometheus configuration:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'node-exporter'
    scrape_interval: 60s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['10.0.0.69:8000']
        labels:
          server: 'meshtastic-info'
