It is a question about useful information. What problem are you trying to solve? What is useful to the user? And: is the information actionable? Information that is just displayed, or something to be informed about does not necessarily need a dashboard. This is called reporting. Something that screams "Action!" is useful as a dashboard. It should help guiding the decision making process. You might also consider automation. If a machine can do what a dashboard asks for, an action step, then you actually don't need a dashboard instead you can do reporting ("X steps done during Y period"). Build something useful and have fun!
