They're honestly not that hard to bang out, a quick custom query and at the very basic level a javascript SetInterval.
It's a bit like shell scripts or build scripts or starting to use a new source control system, once you've done one any more takes no more than an hour.
It's just that first one that takes a day.

If you're a web developer, I bet this is really easy. If you come from a systems programming/admin background like me, this looks like a great deal of work for little payoff. I'd like to think someone, somewhere has come up with a dashboard framework that's user friendly and doesn't require forwarding proprietary data outside the company.
