Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We would like to have a dashboard to show the mesh network if is working well from node to node and create alerts when connective problem occurs, for instance

• node interface is down
• connection between nodes fallback from P2P to Relay (for some reason)
• ping latency

Describe the solution you'd like

1. make the client expose metrics with prometheus sdk via an http port

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. a new exporter project that can communicate with netbird client and expose the metrics

Additional context We use netbird to create a private network, so that all nodes in our global K8s network can communicate with Nodes that not in the K8s cluster securely.

+1

agree, we need some additional metrics exposed in prometheus

We need to check how much this could increase the binary size if we use a library like "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric" (used in management and signal).

We also have some options to get some information using the status command with flags like the ones described in https://docs.netbird.io/how-to/cli#status
