Don M (ID: 0000007e94e344b2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/18/2022 Clickbait/does not work. Options are not intuitive, and being able to edit it to actually use as described in the Overview don't work unless you run this on a docker or other server/host. If I wanted to go through all that trouble, there are better dashboards I could deploy. I added this specifically to get the dashboard without the need for a docker/server as I did not need to use it for monitoring those.
