# dashboard
|
|
|
|
A data aggregating dashboard, capable of periodically fetching, parsing, archiving and plotting data.
|
|
|
|
### Name
|
|
Do you have a good name idea for this project? [Let me know](https://alemi.dev/suggestions/What%27s%20a%20good%20name%20for%20the%20project%3F)!
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
This software periodically (customizable interval) makes a GET request to given URL, then applies all metric JQL queries to the JSON output, then inserts all extracted points into its underlying SQLite.
|
|
Each panel displays all points gathered respecting limits, without redrawing until user interacts with UI or data changes.
|
|
If no "x" query is specified, current time will be used (as timestamp) for each sample "x" coordinate, making this software especially useful for timeseries.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
This program will work on a database stored in `$HOME/.local/share/dashboard.db`. By default, nothing will be shown.
|
|
To add sources or panels, toggle edit mode (top left). Once in edit mode you can:
|
|
* Add panels (top bar)
|
|
* Add sources (in source sidebar, bottom)
|
|
* Edit panels (name, height, display options)
|
|
* Edit sources (name, color, query, panel)
|
|
Each change is effective as soon as you type it, but won't persist a restart if you don't "save" it. Just close and reopen if you mess something up!
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
* parse JSON apis with [JQL syntax](https://github.com/yamafaktory/jql)
|
|
* embedded SQLite, no need for external database
|
|
* import/export metrics data to/from CSV
|
|
* split data from 1 fetch to many metrics
|
|
* customize source color and name, toggle them (visibility or fetching)
|
|
* customize panels (size, span, offset)
|
|
* reduce data points with average or sampling
|
|
* per-source query interval
|
|
* light/dark mode
|
|
* log panel endlessly tracking errors
|
|
* tiny performance impact
|
|
|
|
## Drawbacks
|
|
* Log panel has no limit, thus very long runtimes will make it slower
|
|
* Being monolithic, this project doesn't scale well with large data needs
|
|
* Untested on Windows and MacOS
|
|
* No limit on points displayed might slow down the UI, use the `reduce` feature
|
|
* All fields are editable at the same time

# Installation
|
|
`cargo build --release`, then drop it in your `~/.local/bin`. Done, have fun hoarding data!
