MatWerk Monitoring Dashboard

Introduction

The MatWerk Monitoring Dashboard is a web-based tool designed to provide real-time monitoring and visualization of usage metrics for various MatWerk services developed by KIT. Built with Flask and Jinja2, it serves as a centralized platform for tracking KPIs and analyzing user engagement.

This project is adapted from the RPDM Dashboard Template and incorporates additional features to support MatWerk services.

Features

• Visualization of Usage Metrics: Includes user distribution, plugin usage, and user growth charts.
• Interactive Dashboards: Dynamic and customizable visualization using Plotly.
• Support for Multiple Services: Metrics for services like EVOKS, Mapping Service, and FAIRDOScope.
• Customizable UI: Easily modify the dashboard layout and style to meet project requirements.
