ADS-B Aircraft Tracking Dashboard

Provided by: Tim Yocum

This dashboard will help you monitor and visualize metrics scraped from a dump1090 ADS-B flight tracking instance using dump1090-exporter to present a Prometheus endpoint that Telegraf will scrape. While this dashboard is vendor-agnostic, it has been tested against a PiAware instance as provided by FlightAware.
