Hi guys,
Looking for some open source 'dashboard' server monitoring software. I have seen a few which look okay but they aren't that 'easily readable' when it comes to the layouts etc. Looking for something which is big and blocky that has a traffic light system. So we can see quickly whats down etc. Email alerts would be awesome.
Any tips would be great. Thanks.
I know that this isn't monitoring software, but if you want a very customizable and good looking dashboard to display your data, check out Dashing.
Another good one similar to Dashing is StatusBoard from Panic. It requires a dedicated iPad but is also very customizable and beautiful.

That is the kind of layout i am looking for. Anyone know if this can be used to link to servers for what i need?
Thanks.
The idea is to "push" data to your widgets, whether it be through RubyScript (internal) or other programming/scripting languages that can POST (Python, PowerShell, etc).
You will need something else to monitor your servers, something like Zabbix or the like. Dashing is just to display information.
I found this widget that could work for Dashing, if anyone wanted it know :)

Kinda depends what you want to monitor. If you're just looking for a simple up/down system with a few statistics like CPU, connectivity and so on, then you can take a look at Healthstone
That looks like everything i would like to monitor. CPU %, HDD % Up and down. Just want it to be blocked like the dashing CSS. Being picky i know but it will be shown all the time so would like it to look half decent.
Thanks.
Grafana for Dashboards. Zabbix or Nagios for Alerts. ELK for syslog collection and parsing.
