polling rate and additional disks on dashboard

[jammin1911]

It would be really nice to be able to adjust the polling rate that the dashboard is updated, seems like it might be around 1 minutes. The software I from to beszel let me set it to whatever I wanted and I used 1000ms so almost real time.

Also, maybe a less reasonable ask but it would be also really nice to be able to have additional columns on dashboard for systems with multiple hard drives so free space can be more easily monitored without having to click through to each system

Updates are every 60 seconds. All metrics besides RAM / disk usage are averages of the entire minute, not a point-in-time snapshot. So if CPU spikes for 20 seconds in between updates, it will still be reflected in the numbers.

I don't want to save metrics to the DB every second, however I'd like to have faster updates if someone is actively viewing data in the dashboard. That's on the list for the future.

I agree that having something for additional disks in the dashboard table would be nice, I'm just not sure how we can display that nicely.

When we add network services, we'll probably have a separate table you can click into, so maybe we can add additional disks in a separate table as well. So you can click between 'Systems', 'Services', and 'Disks'.

100% agree on everything. No need to write to DB but faster updates would be nice.

For the disk display, I was thinking the same thing and theres probably a few clean ways to display it. Maybe a drop down to show and/or select displaying a different disk as primary. Or left/right arrows to flip through which one is displayed. Maybe scrolling through them on a timer like a slideshow....
