[kwlug-disc] GUI presentation of data?

[Jason]

Lots of different tools you could use for this.

For other systems, we used FluentD to collect data on the application
server, send to a Graphite server for metrics aggregation.
Then we'd build a Grafana dashboard to display the data in Graphite based
on the information we wanted to show on dashboards.

https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/stable/overview.html
https://grafana.com/oss/

You could use Loki or InfluxDB to aggregate the data instead.
You could use OpenTelemetry components to use a standard as well.
