By virtue of necessity, I’ve “rolled my own” dashboards for years.
Dashboard
The dashboard system – in the last two decades – I’ve used a myriad of systems, the current one keeps track of server stats and uptime.
One is easy – astrofish.net/TV – short script and links, reveals server stats at a quick glance.
I was using the URL astrofish.TV, but that’s too expensive of name to maintain for essentially just a monitoring page.
A dashboard.
There is another dashboard-like page I’ve tried, and continue to use, a List of links. That’s one that I can administer from anywhere with web access, etc. That was lesson I learned, or the point was hammered home resoundingly, most near fifteen years back.
Web access is ubiquitous.
Having a dashboard to monitor is nice.
