14 sourcesWe use dashing at my workplace extensively. From my research into the space a year ago, dashing is the one with the largest library of plugins [0], and its super easy to make your own- here's mine [1].

Case in point: https://github.com/Shopify/dashing
In Netdata – Linux performance monitoring, done rightWell, a popular one is Dashing by Shopify - https://github.com/shopify/dashing
In Termui – Go terminal dashboardIf you can't afford Geckoboard, Dashing is open source https://shopify.github.io/dashing/
There's a tutorial specifically about MySQL https://github.com/Shopify/dashing/wiki/How-to%3A-send-mysql...
And a variety of Google Analytics (and other platform) widgets https://github.com/Shopify/dashing/wiki/Additional-Widgets
In ChartSQL: Create Charts and Dashboards from SQLTake a look at Dashing[0] by Shopify, it can be a base for what you want. There is already a Google Analytics plugin[1]. For Lulu.com, they are saying they are not accepting new developers[2] but if you have an API key, you may have luck building a widget for Dashing.

In A crash course in startup metricsI've been working pretty extensively on our in-house dashboard. We've settled on the Dashing framework written by Shopify with some rather heavy customization.
The main focus has been on readability from long distances and the ability to switch context when up close using the leap motion.
Check it out here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMM2rPX2Rok
There seems to be some pretty useful information in this book that we can apply to our current setup.

In Information Dashboard Design, 2nd EditionThats dashing from shopify. Its really awesome, took me only an hour or so to setup with the integrations. Here's the original https://github.com/Shopify/dashing.
I am using the nodejs port though - npm install dashing-js
In Autoscaling on AWS$10 is quite a bit to pay before I know how "custom" my custom data input can be. Especially when there are quite a few open source similar-looking dashboards (like dashing: https://github.com/Shopify/dashing). Sure, not a full-blown app (but how hard is it to full-screen a browser from a set top box?)
I need to track a lot of metrics. Very few of them have been covered by Panic. I'm happy to pay a bit for good design, but I don't feel like forking over cash on the promise that it "might" cover my use case.
In Status BoardThe graph widget is based on Rickshaw (http://code.shutterstock.com/rickshaw/).
The current implementation requires you to send an array of hashes with the x and y co-ordinates you want to plot.
Here's the example job where you can see it in action: https://github.com/Shopify/dashing/blob/master/templates/pro...
