Cyclotron: A web application for constructing dashboards

I like Grafana. I use Grafana. I've got Grafana open in another tab right now. For all that, Grafana ain't all that and a bag of chips.

Grafana is very hard to extend with new visualizations. It uses "flot", a JavaScript library that hasn't seen a commit in Github in 2 and a half years. The documentation is poor.

There is definitely a need for dashboard software that allows for more complex custom visualizations -- I'll be looking closely at this.

The latest versions of Grafana now have a pretty extensible plugin architecture, and the types of panels have been growing by the community at Grafana.net. We're even seeing some new contributions that use D3 instead of Flot, which is super exciting to me.

Full disclosure, I work for Grafana, but seemed relevant to mention.

I worked with Chart.js contributors to add real-time graphs, to use them as a replacement for Flot in Godot2-dash/Riemann-dash.

Here's examples of the final result [0], it's better than I could have hoped for.

I haven't run across a worse-documented or harder to wrangle JS charting library than Flot, ha...
