Node-RED Device Statistics

node-red-contrib-device-stats provides a Node-RED node designed to capture and emit various operating system statistics within a Node-RED flow. It collects data such as CPU usage, memory consumption, network statistics, and system load average, embedding this information into `msg.payload` for further processing. The current stable version is 1.1.2. Releases appear to be infrequent, primarily addressing bug fixes and dependency updates, with notable changes like migrating build systems (Grunt to Gulp) in version 1.1.0. A key differentiator is its seamless integration into Node-RED's visual programming paradigm, allowing users to trigger statistic collection based on incoming messages. However, it is explicitly limited to Linux and macOS environments, making it unsuitable for Windows deployments. The node requires an incoming message to its input port to trigger data collection, it does not poll automatically.
