Hi All
I'm trying to interogate vis on a bat-adv server node, Can anybody point me in the right direction, It's for use with this http://villagetelco.org/2011/06/spud-simple-unified-dashboard-for-mesh-netwo... It works with batman, but not with bat-adv.

Hi All
I am trying out spud, looks very good, I'm just needing some info , google fu is not up to it I'm afraid. The php scrip interrogates a vis server, I do not have Afrimesh setup,
You do need a VIS server but Afrimesh is not required to make Spud work.
Vis is running on my bat-adv network, Gateway node set as vis server on node and it's accepting info from rest of the network.
We haven't actually tried Spud with the batman-adv VIS server so we'd need to check that it was giving the same output as the batman VIS server.
However, It seems I need a external vis server for the script to interrogate. Or is there a way to interrogate the vis server node from this machine?
In theory, as long as you can see the IP address of the node running the VIS server, that should be sufficient. It may be an incompatibility with the batman-adv VIS output.

Hi,
I'm trying to interogate vis on a bat-adv server node, Can anybody point me in the right direction, It's for use with this http://villagetelco.org/2011/06/spud-simple-unified-dashboard-for-mesh-netw orks/ It works with batman, but not with bat-adv.
unlike batmand (our layer 3 implementation) batman-adv has the vis server built-in. Using the layer 3 vis server on top of batman-adv won't help you.
Please read our documentation regarding the layer 2 vis server first and feel free to come back with any questions you might have: http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/VisAdv

Thanks Marek, I get this, and vis is working internally in my bat-adv environment, What this implementation is trying to do is monitor the vis from outside the mesh, thus my question? How could this be achieved?

Hello Wayne,
if you want access from outside the mesh, you should set up one of the mesh nodes to share information, e.g.:
1.) set up a netcat server which constantly runs "batctl vd dot" 2.) periodically (or on demand?) ssh in to a mesh node which
We have used solution 1 for meshs3d and it works quite fine. It will give you pretty much the same behaviour as the old vis server.

Thanks Simon Yes, I will try also to modify the PHP, maybe using PHP to log in using SSH and exec the cmd. I'll try to get the Dev, to modify if I don't get it right, SPUD II, for bat-adv sounds good! Here's a working model running batmand. http://villagetelco.org/2011/06/spud-simple-unified-dashboard-for-mesh-netwo...
