I've seen the other day people talking about Heimdall in a thread about self-hosted things.

I do run a (distributed!) homelab, but it's not clear to me what problem these dashboards solve.

I can split the things I run on my homelab in two categories: either "infrastructure", things like VPNs, routing, DB, etc, or "actual apps", like a wiki and whatnot.

For the first category, I basically don't "do" anything to them once they're set up.

For the second, I type directly the URL as I do with any other website.

For my monitoring needs I have a bunch of Grafana dashboards connected to Prometheus. I check them from time to time because I like looking at the pretty colored graphs for some reason, but that's about it.
