How Meshtastic Metrics Exporter Turned Eight Prometheus Queries Into One with Tiger Data
An open source monitoring tool for the Meshtastic mesh radio community moved off Prometheus, where 10,000 nodes meant half a million metric series, and put node data and telemetry history on a single Postgres database with TimescaleDB.
This is an installment of our “Community Member Spotlight” series, in which we invite our customers to share their work, spotlight their success, and inspire others with new ways to use technology to solve problems.
