NetData Dashboard

This uses NetData, and specifically it uses the most recent git version.

Here's the official wiki page on creating custom dashboards.

Install

I'm on Arch Linux, so this is easy to install

┬─[william@fillory:~]
╰─>$ pacaur -S netdata-git
┬─[william@fillory:~]
╰─>$ sudo systemctl enable netdata.service
┬─[william@fillory:~]
╰─>$ sudo systemctl start netdata.service

You can install my version by cloning this repository, and assuming you have installed via Arch Linux (or at least put the right things in the right spot) running the install.sh script.

┬─[william@fillory:~]─[11:46:38 PM]
╰─>$ ./install.sh

Under the hood, this is just copying things in the right spot and restarting NetData. (I know it's not the best install script, but ehh, whatever.)

sudo cp ./custom.html /usr/share/netdata/web/custom.html
sudo chown netdata /usr/share/netdata/web/custom.html
sudo chgrp netdata /usr/share/netdata/web/custom.html
sudo cp ./netdata.conf /etc/netdata/netdata.conf
sudo cp ./apps_groups.conf /etc/netdata/apps_groups.conf
sudo systemctl restart netdata.service

Custom Dashboard

Here's what my version looks like for personal use.
