### Ideas
1. Currently we get IPs and dial, but should reverse so the nodes dial the netmon, both for node privacy and easier reconfig (validators changing ip/port).
2. Uptime over last day, month, year (Q: how do I get this?)
3. `statsd` output (plugin?)
4. log metrics for charts (Q: what charts?)
5. show network size (Q: how do I get the number?)
6. metrics RPC (Q: do we need this?)
- currently we get IPs and dial, but should reverse so the nodes dial the
netmon, both for node privacy and easier reconfig (validators changing
ip/port). It would be good to have both. For testnets with others we def need
them to dial the monitor. But I want to be able to run the monitor from my
laptop without openning ports.
- uptime over last day, month, year. There are different meanings for uptime.
One is to constantly ping the nodes and make sure they respond to eg.
/status. A more fine-grained one is to check for votes in the block commits.
- show network size + auto discovery. You can get a list of connected peers at
/net_info. But no single one will be connected to the whole network, so need
to tease out all the unique peers from calling /net_info on all of them.
Unless you have some prior information about how many peers in the net ...
More: we could add `-auto-discovery` option and try to connect to every node.
- input plugin for https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf, so the user is able
to get the metrics and send them whenever he wants to (grafana, prometheus,
etc.).
