What's the most popular open-source router software in the world? OpenWRT, of course! It's the go-to firmware replacement for a huge number of routers both for home and business use. So, of course, you need to monitor it! Now, routers are, strictly speaking, an IoT device, but hey, it is a (relatively) small, embedded device that is ubiquitous and really deserves some attention. As it turns out, monitoring your WRT-enabled router with InfluxDB is so simple it's scary!

Built-In Monitoring

OpenWRT does have some basic built-in monitoring that you can look at, but it's only available on the web page served by the router. It's not, as far as I can tell, able to be aggregated across multiple devices, and it is, as I said, pretty basic.
