Analytics
The Analytics page provides deep-dive charts and tables about your mesh network. Select a tab to explore different aspects.

Overview
Summary dashboard with key network metrics at a glance. Quick sparklines and counts across all data dimensions.
RF / Signal
Radio frequency analysis:
- SNR distribution — histogram of signal-to-noise ratios across all packets
- RSSI distribution — histogram of received signal strength
- SNR by observer — which observers are getting the best signals
- Signal trends — how signal quality changes over time
Use this to identify weak links or noisy observers.
Topology
Network structure analysis:
- Hop count distribution — how many relay hops packets typically take
- Top relay nodes — which repeaters handle the most traffic
- Node connectivity — how well-connected each node is
Channels
Channel message statistics:
- Messages per channel — which channels are most active
- Channel activity over time — traffic trends by channel
- Top senders — most active nodes per channel
Hash Stats
Mesh hash size analysis:
- Hash size distribution — how many bytes nodes use for addressing
- Hash sizes by role — do repeaters use different hash sizes than companions?
Hash Issues
Potential hash collision detection:
- Collision pairs — nodes whose short hash prefixes overlap
- Risk assessment — how likely collisions are at current hash sizes
Hash collisions can cause packet misrouting. If you see collisions here, consider increasing hash sizes on affected nodes.
Route Patterns (Subpaths)
Common routing paths through the mesh:
- Frequent subpaths — which relay chains appear most often
- Path reliability — how consistently each path is used
- Path detail — click a subpath to see every packet that used it
Nodes
Per-node analytics with sortable metrics across the fleet.
Distance
Estimated distances between nodes based on GPS coordinates, correlated with signal quality.
Neighbor Graph
Interactive visualization of which nodes can directly hear each other. Shows the mesh topology as a network graph.
RF Health
Per-observer signal health over time. Identifies observers with degrading reception.
Prefix Tool
Test hash prefix lengths to see how many collisions different sizes would produce. Useful for deciding on hash_size settings.
Region filter
All analytics tabs respect the region filter at the top. Select a region to scope the data to observers in that area.
Deep linking
Each tab is deep-linkable. Share a URL like #/analytics?tab=collisions to point someone directly at hash issues.
