Pilot Mesh Status

Comprehensive mesh status — peers, encryption, relay, bandwidth. Use this skill when: 1. Getting a complete overview of network status and health 2. Debugging connectivity or performance issues across the mesh 3. Generating status reports for monitoring or dashboards Do NOT use this skill when: - You only need peer discovery (use pilot-discover instead) - You need detailed health monitoring (use pilot-health instead) - You need to visualize topology (use pilot-network-map instead)

Comprehensive mesh network status reporting for Pilot Protocol. Aggregates daemon health, peer status, encryption state, relay usage, bandwidth metrics, and connection details into unified reports.

Commands

List All Peers

pilotctl --json peers

List Active Connections

pilotctl --json connections

Get Agent Info

pilotctl --json info

Benchmark Connection

pilotctl --json bench <node-id>

Check Daemon Status

pilotctl --json daemon status

Status Dimensions

A complete mesh status report covers:

1. Daemon health: Uptime, resource usage, error rate
2. Network membership: Peer count, discovery status
3. Connections: Active connections, ports, encryption
4. Trust: Trust relationships, mutual trust count
5. Relay usage: Relay vs direct connections
6. Bandwidth: Total bytes sent/received
7. Latency: RTT to key peers
8. Security: Encryption coverage, trust coverage

Workflow Example

Generate comprehensive mesh status report:

#!/bin/bash
echo "========== PILOT MESH STATUS =========="
echo "Generated: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"

# Daemon Health
daemon_status=$(pilotctl --json daemon status)
echo "$daemon_status" | jq -r '
  "Uptime: \(.uptime_seconds)s",
  "Memory: \(.memory_mb)MB",
  "Connections: \(.connection_count)"'

# Network Membership
peers=$(pilotctl --json peers)
peer_count=$(echo "$peers" | jq '.peers | length')
echo "Total peers: $peer_count"

# Active Connections
connections=$(pilotctl --json connections)
conn_count=$(echo "$connections" | jq '.connections | length')
echo "Total connections: $conn_count"

# Relay Usage
relay_count=$(echo "$connections" | jq '[.connections[] | select(.relay)] | length')
direct_count=$((conn_count - relay_count))
echo "Direct: $direct_count, Relay: $relay_count"

# Bandwidth
total_sent=$(echo "$connections" | jq '[.connections[].bytes_sent] | add // 0')
total_recv=$(echo "$connections" | jq '[.connections[].bytes_received] | add // 0')
echo "Sent: $(numfmt --to=iec $total_sent)"
echo "Recv: $(numfmt --to=iec $total_recv)"

# Encryption Coverage
encrypted_count=$(echo "$connections" | jq '[.connections[] | select(.encrypted)] | length')
if [ "$conn_count" -gt 0 ]; then
  enc_pct=$(echo "scale=1; $encrypted_count * 100 / $conn_count" | bc)
  echo "Encrypted: $encrypted_count/$conn_count ($enc_pct%)"
fi
