Grafana Example from Organizrr Discord (imported via Dashboards > Manage > Import) :
from: GilbN -- Plex dashboard for Grafana @Grafana-Group for anyone using Varken (https://github.com/Boerderij/Varken) Thought I'd share the dashboard I made (with the help of Rox and Tron): https://grafana.com/dashboards/9558 You will need to add the piechart and worldmap plugins for the dashboard to work. Use the variables to set the different data sources.
To Install PieChart/WorldMap:
cd /opt/grafana/plugins && git clone https://github.com/grafana/piechart-panel.git && git clone https://github.com/grafana/worldmap-panel.git && docker restart grafana -
