Six Open Source Dashboards to Organize Your Data

1

Metabase

You start with a question like, ”How many women between the ages of 18 and 25 in either New York or LA have made a purchase in the last week?” Then use Metabase’s dropdown filters (Gender = Female; City is LA or NYC; Age between 18 and 25) to answer them. Metabase establishes data types for each column when a new table is added, so these filters are generated automatically. What this means from a practical standpoint is that everyone in your organization can subset tables (and even create basic charts!) without knowing any SQL. The only problem is that if you DO know SQL, you’ll probably find Metabase to be a bit limiting and might want explore more advanced options.

Mozaik

A relatively new entry (first commit in Dec ‘14) into the open-source dashboard space that we’re pretty excited about is the modularly designed Mozaik. Mozaik was built using our favorite JS trifecta (Node, React, d3) and while it still has room to grow, its extendable and customizable modules make it both a powerful and flexible choice. Need to add a new widget type to your dashboard? Just npm install mozaik-ext-{widget-name} and there you have it. There are already widgets built to access Github, Travis, Google Analytics, Twitter, AWS, and ElasticSearch, among many others. And if they don’t have what you’re looking for? Build it yourself with React and d3! Simple as that.

Grafana

This project is the most active we’ve profiled with ~250 active contributors, 10k stars, and ~7.5k commits over the last two years. Of all the dashboards on this list, Grafana is best used when monitoring engineering systems rather than sales KPIs but in a world where every company is a tech company, it’s more useful than ever to have a universal view of your infrastructure’s health. If the words Cloudwatch, InfluxDB, or Graphite don’t mean anything to you, then you probably don’t need to worry about Grafana. Still might be worth showing it to your dev team though; devs need metrics too.
