Hi,

you probably can't. The vis server is still in alpha status and up to now 
nobody thought about porting it to other systems.
You have to use Linux or to make the neccessary changes for you system of 
choice.

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-networks/
It works with batman, but not with bat-adv.

Wayne

You do need a VIS server but Afrimesh is not required to make Spud work.

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.

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.

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:

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.
