Project 4: Monitoring Dashboard Script

Build monitoring dashboard. Collect metrics. Display them. Real project.

Here's the thing: Monitoring dashboards are useful. Build one. Learn from it.

Features​

  • Collect system metrics
  • Display dashboard
  • Alert on problems
  • Generate reports

Implementation​

#!/bin/bash
# Monitoring dashboard
# Collects and displays system metrics

collect_metrics() {
    cpu=$(top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | awk '{print $2}')
    memory=$(free | grep Mem | awk '{print $3/$2 * 100.0}')
    echo "CPU: $cpu% Memory: $memory%"
}

My take: Build projects. Learn from them.

What's Next?​

Now that you understand monitoring dashboards, let's talk about Project 5: Infrastructure Setup.

Personal note: Projects teach you. Build them. Learn from them. They're valuable.
