# Respond Collector
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/FreifunkBremen/respond-collector.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/FreifunkBremen/respond-collector)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/FreifunkBremen/respond-collector/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/FreifunkBremen/respond-collector?branch=master)
`respond-collector` 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 ./respond-collector:
-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 InfluxDB
## How 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`.
