I am setting up a grafana+prometheus install for ~2000 servers, and am getting client performance issues with some of my template-generated pages.
The basic scheme right now is giving a visitor a top level dashboard that shows aggregate stats for a cluster, providing drilldown links for each graph that allows viewing a metric on a per-node basis. This works fine until a cluster has hundreds of servers in it… the per-node pages get very sluggish as a user’s web browser struggles to render all the graphs.
This isn’t a surprise to me, but I would like to come up with a way to deal with it and googling hasn’t found me anything on the topic.
Some kind of “result limit” might work, but I think a pagination system would be ideal. Are there any tricks out there to do something like this?
Or is there a smarter way to be doing this sort of thing?
thanks
