System Dashboard

Start of the Dahsboard page. I will try to explain the best I can. I will also post the links to the original developers who with the help of their scripts made this Dashboard possible.

This installation it's based on my Ubuntu Server 16.04. It may or not work on all distros!

Things you need before you start:

I will not explian how to install these aplications, there are numerous guides on the Internet that you can look at!

Create InfluxDB datasources

* Name:       Plex_Data
* Type:       influxDB
* URL:        http://localhost:8086
* Access:     Server (Default)
* Database:   plex_data

* Name:       Plex Users
* Type:       influxDB
* URL:        http://localhost:8086
* Access:     Server (Default)
* Database:   plexpy

* Name:       Tautulli
* Type:       influxDB
* URL:        http://localhost:8086
* Access:     Server (Default)
* Database:   newplex

System Stats

System stats that you see on the Dashboard are based on Telegraf! Create a datasource as well if you want to see some system details. Edit the file /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf to monitor the services you want!

* Name:       plex
* Type:       influxDB
* URL:        http://localhost:8086
* Access:     Server (Default)
* Database:   telegraf
