The thing I’ve been wanting is to have a diagramming tool that can serve as a live health dashboard with links to logs.

Infrastructure diagrams always get out of date, unless they’re looked at frequently. By hooking the diagrams with live status and logs, it becomes a tool that’s used daily. It would make logs easier to navigate and diagrams kept up to date.



If you just want links to logs then you can use draw.io and export an svg: https://svgshare.com/i/H7g.svg

If you want dynamically updating diagrams you can maybe consider some of the diagram creation generation tools listed here: https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoctor-diagram/#creating-a...


If you use Kubernetes you might find ArgoCD and Weave Scope interesting, both _sort of_ do this


That’s an interesting feature to add as an enterprise feature. Something like a webhook with a programmable action (eg turn red when pinged health down).


We have developed something on these lines. Please send me an email omkar@wynum.com for a demo.
