Dashboard Improvement Suggestion for Process Exporter #5

Open xd003 opened 1 week ago

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent Process Exporter Dashboard (ID: 13882) you've created. As someone who is not from a DevOps or sysadmin background, having your prebuilt dashboard has been incredibly helpful for just monitoring my VPS servers.

I would like to suggest an enhancement that could significantly improve user experience. Currently, the data presentation requires users to hover over the graphs to view detailed information which is bit inconvinient. I found this Docker Monitoring dashboard at this link (ID: 15798) particularly effective, as it displays a summary of key metrics—such as Name, Min, Max, and Last—directly alongside the graphs on the right. This layout allows users to grasp essential information at a glance without any additional interaction like hovering.

Furthermore, this dashboard also has the ability to sort these labels in ascending and descending order adds considerable value and make data analysis much more convenient. I hope you will agree with my suggestion and consider implementing these improvements.

@xd003 Hi,Thank you for the comment. I'm glad to hear that since it's rare opportunity to know how people use this dashboard.

It's not so difficult request to put legend information on right side, I'm going to consider it on next update. (You may modify it just with editing panel's Legend setting if you want.

Code in this repository is a little bit out-dated. I'm going to update it to adjust new grafonnet-lib style code, if I can take some time.

@egmc Thanks for accepting the request. Just wanted to mention that they also have multiple columns to better summarise the data. Eg Cpu & Memoery Usage - Min, Max & Last Network & Disk IO - Min, Total & Last
