Some days ago I stumbled upon a real cool blog post from Chris Wahl about his progress in creating a Grafana dashboard and filling data from PowerCLI.
I checked Grafana by myself, trying his manual and it’s a pretty amazing open source project 100% worth trying.
Behind Grafana is the team of raintank.io, also worth checking out.
If you want to start with a simple test, playing around, there is a demo environment you can use – play.grafana.org

Installation is extremly simple on a ubuntu, redhat or other linux system and you can connect it with a couple of open source databases.
Furthermore you can install it not just on an linux system but also on Windows, MacOS or directly in a docker container.
