After reading this thread and comparing Influx and Prometheus, I've concluded that both look promising. I was going to go with Prometheus (as it's easier to get started with), but I was really put off by the 'promdash' dashboard - it uses iframes and depends on mysql. So I'm going with InfluxDB + Grafana and I'll keep an eye out for developments.

The only time where PromDash uses iframes is when you specifically add a "frame" (iframe) widget to your dashboard to embed arbitrary web content. Native Prometheus graphs and pie charts don't use iframes at all.

Some kind of SQL backend is a dependency for now, however.

Ah! Good to know, thanks. Somehow I missed that.

You may want to look at the console templates, as they don't have any dependencies:
