Infrastructure Dashboards

This repository contains the source code for the infrastructure dashboards developed with plot.ly and dash.

Why Plotly

Plotly allows you to make beautiful and interactive dashboards in just a few lines of code, with data virtually any source that has a Python API.

How do the Infrastructure Dashboards work?

Plotly objects consist of one or more data components and a layout component. Both have subcomponents. Most, but not all, of the formatting is controlled in the layout.

This app is divided into the following resources:

• wrappers/: where the API wrappers, style.py and settings.py live.
• .env: where all the constants and keys/secrets are set.
• app.py: entry point for the dashboard app: where the layout elements and the callback functions are set.
