Have been working on my Grafana dashboard recently and am thinking about what else I could add. So far, I have:
- CPU usage and temperature
- Memory usage
- Network usage
- Backrest daily backup status
- SMART status of drives
- CPU and memory usage of containers
Anything else that you find useful? I have a few other ideas, but am curious what others have up. Is everything on one scrollable dashboard, or do you have it organized across multiple?
Right now I’m just using it for an AirGradient dashboard, which is an open hardware / open software air quality monitor. I used claude to rewrite the firmware to send the data to prometheus instead if their own servers, and countless other frustrating changes because they make the whole operation dependent on a connection to their servers…anyway, I didn’t want to pay a subscription for something so simple. I’ve thought about using it for some other projects, but for a lot of stuff I just don’t see the need for a dedicated dash.
