Metrics:

Metric	Description	Dimensions	Unit
wireless.status	Internal status reported by interface.	status	status
wireless.link_quality	Overall quality of the link. This is an aggregate value, and depends on the driver and hardware.	link_quality	value
wireless.signal_level	The signal level is the wireless signal power level received by the wireless client. The closer the value is to 0, the stronger the signal.	signal_level	dBm
wireless.noise_level	The noise level indicates the amount of background noise in your environment. The closer the value to 0, the greater the noise level.	noise_level	dBm
wireless.discarded_packets	Packet discarded in the wireless adapter due to wireless specific problems.	nwid, crypt, frag, retry, misc	packets/s
wireless.missed_beacons	Number of missed beacons.	missed_beacons	frames/s
