-Suggested content for Paula: +
- +
-  * Which Xrouter versions/builds have this telemetry already baked in +
-  * What, if anything, the sysop needs to set (host, port, interval) +
-  * How to confirm from Xrouter logs that it has sent an update +
-  * How to confirm on **https://node-api.packet.oarc.uk/** that the node is listed +
-  * Recommended reporting interval / not being too chatty +
-  * Notes about also talking to the *mapping API* (this monitoring service is separate but complementary) +
- +
-Example structure Paula could use: +
- +
-  *Prerequisites* +
-  *Configuration block / commands* +
-  *Restart / reload instructions* +
-  *How to verify on the web front end (including the Network Map)* +
-  *How to back off reporting if bandwidth is tight* +
- +
-(Replace this whole subsection with Paula’s real notes.)+
