Dashing seems eye-appealing to start and there are many widgets, however most are abandoned like Dashing. IMHO Dashing has an awkward syntax to add or extend widgets which is why it dropped off.

That's one of the reasons I updated Godot [0] (similar to Ruby's Riemann), a NodeJS stream processor, and re-ported Riemann's dash [1] to match.

You can send any event into the stream processor including any metadata, and receive it into any of the dash widgets, such as Title, List, Grid, Knob, Timeseries, and many more. I use it to monitor anything from active container instances to queue stats to CPU wait times.

It's really similar to Dashing, in fact I ported the Knob directly from Dashing, but it's much much easier to add a data source.

As a bonus any event can trigger a Slack, email, SMS, or webhook.

If you have any trouble getting running just open an issue, the docs still have a few holes.
