packages: prometheus...-wifi-stations-extra: use babeld if available

[a-gave]

This collector currently doesn't work with profile-libremesh-suggested-packages-tiny
due to the lack of shared-state-bat_hosts (since this is based on shared-state-async which is too big for 8-64 devices)

This commit allows the collector to print hostnames taking the info from /etc/babeld-hosts
It also introduces a check to verify the existence of /tmp/dhcp.leases,
this in case of a setup without anygw or another dhcp server.

Didn't test but the code and the concept look good to me. Feel free to merge this if you tested it.

Thanks, yes tested on a ubnt_nanostation-m-xw running latest lime code and openwrt 24.10.4.
Fixed the wording.

Mmm.. this was not sufficient. I tested it on two ubnt_nanostation-m-xw but they both were connected to some tplink_cpe510-v3 which is the only device which has the same mac for wlan0-mesh and br-lan so the match via /etc/babeld-hosts works. Doesn't work with different devices.
Still need to figure out a better way to retrieve hostnames. Maybe parsing the nodes_and_links.json

[ilario]

If you consider so, open an issue so that we remember this :)

do you think that the static building is enough ? #1218 (comment)
that pull requires two pull requests approval, one in the shared state async repo and another one in the lime packages, I wold like to confirm that someone else has tested it to approve both.

Yes, totally, I was awaiting for the merge to test if it fits in outdoor 8/64 devices both in openwrt-24.10.4 and SNAPSHOT

If some tests could speed the time of merge I'll try to test it in the next days
Still need to go further with https://github.com/a-gave/openwrt-tests and add tests for libremesh

Nice ! ! Yes please ! it would be great if you could test the pull request Two students from the university are also working on the testing topic. I have just created a matrix channel to talk about this. Here is a brief summary * GitHub project for activity tracking: [ https://github.com/users/francoriba/projects/3](https://github.com/users/francoriba/projects/3) * Our fork of `openwrt-tests` (currently with one PR open, and another one ready to be submitted, in which we already added the three Belkin routers to the project infrastructure): [ https://github.com/francoriba/openwrt-tests/tree/feat/add-fcefyn-labnet](https://github.com/francoriba/openwrt-tests/tree/feat/add-fcefyn-labnet) * Report repository in LaTeX: [ https://github.com/francoriba/PI_Casanueva_Riba](https://github.com/francoriba/PI_Casanueva_Riba) * Repository with scripts/configurations for setting up our host: [ https://github.com/ccasanueva7/pi-hil-testing-utils/tree/main](https://github.com/ccasanueva7/pi-hil-testing-utils/tree/main) * Fork of Víctor’s repository for vWiFi tests: [ https://github.com/francoriba/libremesh-virtual-mesh](https://github.com/francoriba/libremesh-virtual-mesh) Maybe we can talk about this in a meet Saludos Ing.
