Meerkat – a new Icinga Dashboarding tool
summary
An open source dashboard called Meerkat visualizes Icinga API objects on a custom background and embeds HLS video and audio streams; it uses a Go backend and Preact frontend, pulls host vars from NetBox into dynamic text fields, and overlays service performance metrics and plugin output on draggable cards. Dashboards live as JSON on disk, accept HTTP auth, and tune a group cache to handle ~1500 checks so it performs in 24x7 NOC-style displays.
