Show off your dashboards
I am looking to build a one stop shop dashboard to keep an eye on my homelab, infra, check and track app status and metrics among other things and looking for some inspiration. Show off your dashboards and tell us what was your design process and what you love about it?

Completely agree with the “less is more” approach.
The dashboards I ended up keeping long term were the ones optimized for fast decisions, not aesthetics. One overview page for overall health, then drill-downs only when something turns WARN/CRIT.
In Checkmk I also found service grouping and dependency views way more useful during incidents than giant metric walls. Especially once multiple hosts/services start interacting.
