[arm-allstar] Monitoring of my system.

Hi
Sorry if this has been asked before.
I am looking for a way to see all of my connected nodes to see which repeater (node) the incoming signal  comes from. This is handy for may things including troubleshooting.
In the beginning I connected all of my to one hub node, this allowed me to easily see which repeater (node) any incoming signal came from.
at this point I have more than 25 (pi3) nodes up (on my way to about 40) and permanently connected, thus connecting all to one node considering the way my system is connected did not make a lot of sense.
as the system is connected primarily by microwave site to site, it seemed to be more logical the sites that have  more than one repeater to have a HUB node at the site connecting all of the repeaters at that site together then connecting to the next site.
with the old method if the microwave failed, each site wood no longer be linked to repeaters at the same site or to sites that still had connectivity.
this method seems to be better with respect to linking, however it is not as good for monitoring with allmon2. signals can be traced back  by looking at the main Hub Node then seeing what sub-hub node it cam from and trace it back. While this is works with watching during normal times, it does not allow to see things quickly as it was when all connected to one hub node.
is there a way to list all of my nodes on one screen similar to when i have all connected to one hub node to watch activity with existing tools? (grouped nodes to dose not provide a good screen)
If not would it be possible for me  to modify something to do this?
on the simple usb tune menu command "v" provides other useful information that would be nice to see for all of my nodes at once, is there anything available that does that?
Thank you
Chris
