Feature Request: Repeater Stress / Health Indicator

[gras64]

I would like to propose a lightweight Repeater Stress (Health) Indicator to help identify overloaded or congested mesh nodes without increasing network traffic significantly.

The idea is not to expose many raw statistics, but to provide a single aggregated value that reflects the overall health of a repeater. The score could take existing internal metrics into account, such as:

• Packet forwarding activity
• Retry/error count
• Duty cycle delays (if applicable)
• LBT / Activity Detection (int.thresh) delays

The averaging window should be user configurable, for example:

• 1 hour: Live troubleshooting
• 24 hours: Daily operation
• 7 days (default): Network planning and long-term node health

The default 7-day view would highlight repeaters that are consistently under heavy load, while shorter windows would help diagnose temporary congestion.

This feature would make it much easier to identify repeaters that deserve a closer look without requiring users to manually interpret multiple statistics or continuously monitor the network.
I will run some tests.
