Right, so you can scrape the data from /proc, iwinfo, or wherever else,
you can push that back to the server using some kind of HTTP call. It
just depends on what's handy and what they've included in their busybox
build. Like...
#!/bin/sh
cat /proc/net/wireless | grep ath | sed 's/[ ]\+/,/g' | while read
ATHSTAT; do
wget -O /dev/null "http://gcserver/stat?dev=foo&athstats=$ATHSTAT";
done

For at least MikroTik and Ubnt devices, you could push the stats from
the device to the server with a REST call using wget and /tool fetch,
respectively. For everything else, you're probably going to have to
just poll with SNMP, which isn't (shouldn't be) terrible and would be
the most widely supported approach.

Mmmm there's still ssh keys in devices that are used for C&C to AC2
severs. They did build a "custom protocol" that runs inside that

I've done a bit of work previously to reverse engineering the
provisioning mechanism, and I see nothing that would be a problem
collecting stats via that method. You'd still have to use
groundcontrol to initially connect/provision the units first to
exchange SSH keys, and you'd want it to be on a different ip that
your previous aircontrol server.
A nasty thing about ubnt provisioning... if you replace the server
on the same ip or a different ip, all of the radios that were
previously provisioned will always try to connect to the old
ip/server,which causes quite a bit of arp traffic.
.... one thing I'd like to do is create a "cleanup tool" for that,
though pssh (parallel ssh) + wireshark helped me clean up that mess
"manually" in the past.

Would it pay to see if UBNT would allow us to continue to use some

I was wondering if that might come about. Maybe another wisp that uses

For those of you who haven't heard, several of us started a new
project yesterday.
https://github.com/esseph/groundcontrol
Licensing is tentatively set as falling under GPLv2.
We have already been offered code snippets, a dev box, a db server,
and several people have decided to volunteer time to make this happen.
The initial idea is that the system itself will be free, with a
possibly paid support/features option, or maybe a model similar to
observium where the is a "community" (free as in beer) version that
comes out every 6mo or so, and a "paid" version with newer features
and direct support. We're not sure yet, but we want to make this
project accessible and fairly vendor-neutral.
If any of you could volunteer time, support, code, documentation,
ideas, etc.it would be greatly appreciated. This is a project by and
for the WISP community. Thank you!
