Community-Lab is an open and distributed infrastructure that provides a testbed for researchers to carry out experiments within wireless community networks. Community networks are an emergent model of infrastructures built with off-the-shelf communication equipment that aims to satisfy a community's demand for Internet access and ICT services. Community-Lab consists of a set of nodes integrated into the existing community networks to give researchers access to the network and to allow them to perform experiments. The challenging environment of community networks needs a careful evaluation of experimental data to understand application behavior and spot any misbehavior or anomalies. This paper focuses on demonstrating a monitoring system tailored to meet the specific requirements of the testbed and proposes an architecture for self management to automate management. This demonstration aims to present the current status of the monitoring system, the data gathered and also invite others to experiment with the data generated by the monitoring system.
