Standup Dashing dashboard and feed it aggregate information

[PaulDuvall]

Have a look at http://dashing.io/ and determine if we can standup a dashboard and feed it aggregate information such as the results of multiple pipeline views, etc. Jonny configured this already so may be worth finding out how he did it. Provisioning/configuration does not need to be automated (unless it's easier to do so)

we can overcome the 2 day limit lifespan for instances in the dev account for this dashboard app, if we create an ASG group via CFN for this service. It appears that after two days, when the instance termination happens, ASG persists and simply launches another instance. as long as we only care about real-time data, and not keeping history, this hack should work. otherwise, we could do permanent instance with mysql in prod stelligent account and have demo boxes do SQS/api calls? The permanent dashboard could then manage all instances of demos. do we set u a permanent demo "command and control" box in stelligent prod to take api calls from demo instances?

"The permanent dashboard could then manage all instances of demos. do we set u a permanent demo "command and control" box in stelligent prod to take api calls from demo instances?" - Since the idea is that it'd be a read-only view on multiple environments, I don't think it needs to always be running.

Some ideas for what we might show in this dashboard might include AWS resources as they're launched and terminated across the AWS account. For example:

• EC2 instances
• ELB endpoints
• VPCs
• RDS databases
• Route 53 endpoint(s)
• S3 buckets
• Docker containers

I'd be very interested in how you guys end up populating Dashing, since I've been wrangling with the best way to do it. If you guys want to talk about what I've been doing, hit me up.
