Plexporters, Energize: How we monitor Plex with Grafana
If this could replace the semi-stale project called Varken, I’d be soo happy https://github.com/Boerderij/Varken

Grafana Dashboard for my current instance of Home Prod
The Dashboard consists of: Varken for aggregating data from the Plex ecosystem into InfluxDB using Grafana for a frontend. OPNsense capturing with the help of Telegraf plugin. Adguard Home monitoring utilizing a custom exporter named Adguard_Exporter for prometheus. UniFi agregating with UnPoller. For TrueNAS Scale, I installed the community catalog for installing Kube Apps, this allowed me to installed Prometheus and use the node-exporter provided on this dashboard. Proxmox metrics server provided here.

Complete Noob, need some help please?
To monitor plex, I use Varken connected to Tautulli and Ombi. Data are pushed into InfluxDB and then you can create some cool realtime dashboard.
- Sonarr data into Grafana?
- Got inspired by the recent dashboard posts so I redesigned my server's dashboard hub. Hope you like it!

Plex Grafana Dashboard
Not to take away from your dashboard, but varken is worth a look. It's a little outdated but still works great.

Check this project.

Made myself a Plex Dashboard!
I used Varken as well, but since I have a unifi setup I used UnPoller to get stats from my network, also set up snmp and ping tests using telegraf. I'm still tweaking things myself but love what you have already done :)

Made this little monitor for my plex/unraid dashboard.
You can also use Varken to put it into Grafana
- At the beach, but Plex is down and I’ll be toast if it’s not up when we get home later

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
The Overseer part In truth, I'm less familiar with and it's full feature set, But at a quick glance it looks like it would be similar to ombi (https://ombi.io/). I know for a fact that you can set up OMBI to let users just type in stuff and it will grab it for them. I didn't like that and opted to manually approve requests.

This would have made my life so much easier in the beginning....
Now add Ombi so that shared plex users have the ability to request content by themselves
- [Sonarr] Overseerr ou Ombi?
- Error repeats every 60mi: Ombi.Store.Context.MySql.SettingsMySqlContext
- Best way to let friends add movies to radarr
-
Plex, sonarr, and radarr have saved my sanity... and ruined my gaming computer at the same time
Now pipe that all through ombi and you will live like a king! Also, don't forget to add your watchlist from plex to radarr and sonarr.

Everytime when I ask someone what they watch movies on
Ombi: Let users request both movies/tv shows from a simple web interface.
- [Sonarr] Overseerr ou Ombi ?
