I have various bots etc running, and I'm tired of logging into servers to make sure they are behaving. Is therea generic dashboad that can display various types of information in various ways (graphs, pie charts, tables, whatever), that can take HTTP POSTs (of JSON would be neat) to get stats into the system?

What's up with ruby?

And although it's ruby, fnord has its own DSL and makes it pretty simply to tell it what you want to track.

Ruby's for fags in Silicon Valley, who want to appear to be hipsters, and charged double, like this is dot net complicating.

It's slow as shit too.

Good luck bro

there's nothing wrong with charging double so long as someone will pay you, and it's just as fast as Python. Considering Jake has run apps in both languages in production, he knows what he's talking about
 
I liked GeckoBoard, It would be cool to utilize their stuff, but I don't want to pay, And I didn't want my sensitive stuff on other people's servers - so 2 hours of programming later:

I'm working on the Google Analytics pull now. Once that's done, I have some additional 3rd party tracking scripts I am going to install, like logging into my affiliate offer stats, and pulling the results.

I can make this theme available if anyone's interested.

Also, I am probably thinking of releasing the source code for everything I am putting together. We'll see how it pans out.

Good luck bros.
 
Right now I am utilizing Javascript, CSS3, HTML 5, Ajax through Jquery, Highcharts, and Perl/cgi for database calls (custom), Python was one route i was going for the Google Analytics calls.

What i think everyone wants first will be the barebones framework. I am making the squares draggable, resizeable, and will make it a responsive for mobile and tablets.

The next thing will be to make the Google Analytics scripts available. Now I love perl, but i figure some people would like a php/javascript version. Once i get the perl calls done, i will integrate a php/javascript/ajax version.

I'll add generic perl and jquery bots to help people map it to their custom 3rd party logins, etc.

One thing that is important will be the ability to read rss, xml, and json files. That should solve 70% of most people's customization problems.

I'm pretty excited, so I am looking to give this a fast turn around time.
 
Thought about an event loop on the backend with periodic timers to update the data, and then push the data down the socket using the websocket API? Seems like the kind of project that an event loop would be perfect for.
 
Actually, every box is utilizing a timed interval. Some are updating every second, like the time, others at 10, 20, 30, 120, and 600 second intervals. It's all being pulled by ajax. In the small footer of each box, the intervals is stated. I might put a count down.
 
None of the suggestions so far are even slightly related to brainfuck, how am I meant to ascend to another plane of existence without brainfuck?
