What can I use as a dashboard for some pi zero 2s that show CPU/mem
usage as well as allowing me to provide links to available services on
it?
reddit / selfhosted

So, I'm going to be building a mini network of pi zero 2s to take over
the world and I want to display the CPU/memory usage with little
graphs maybe when I hit the machine in a browser. I have NGINX running
so a simple PHP thing should suffice? I don't really care about
template/design as I'll be too busy putting frickin' lasers on my
sharks.

I don't really want to have to make it myself as I'll keep fiddling
with it and adding things, so what are these things called and what
options do I have?

As it's just me who'll be monitoring it, I don't want some java-laden
thing but even if it just caches graphs every x seconds will suffice.

I would recommend not to have such a dashboard with CPU/Mem usage :
they use a fair amount of CPU themselves.

Homepage or Homarr? Both on github. There are lots of others as well
but I believe both have options for adding things like cpu and memory
usage.

yeah, that's why i was thinking about caching the stats output then
drawing the graph every x seconds / minutes. that'd be enough
considering it's just on an internal network.

Also reading those values takes recourses since cpu interrupts are
useful

I have been really happy with netdata. Can also view on their
webportal. Probably more info than you need

Setup a zabbix node, and run an agent on each device. Data will be
centralized... otherwise something like collectd is pretty darn tiny.
That and|or rrdtool to store data for ad-hoc viewing.

You could setup Grafana with Prometheus and it should work fine.
