We currently have a number of device metrics available, from CPU and memory usage, to (I guess) IP-address based location.
Could we add network signal strength to the list of things that are tracked?

This would be very helpful in allowing support staff to troubleshoot issues with devices deployed in the field.
Ken Bannister: Please take a look at the recent blog post on use of OpenTelemetry with Prometheus. It references a block that you can use to setup your own dashboards or alerts on Grafana Cloud. The block uses the Prometheus node-exporter image to collect device data. Prometheus does include the ability to collect WiFi metrics, including signal strength. It does look like a custom build of Prometheus node-exporter Docker image is necessary to make these metrics available, but hopefully the task is a matter of configuration.
