Puh that looks very crude.
The dashboard gives you a very bad overview. Its not even clear with one look what you are looking at.
And then as a kicker, not a timeseries based database.
You should have a look at how prometheus is doing it.

Anyway, I think open source stuff sometimes needs constructive criticism but should always be appreciated first as a contribution to the ecosystem even if you're not personally planning to use it.
I appreciate new tools, but I do think it's fair to ask what it does better than the existing tools. Prometheus' biggest problem is its learning curve, IMO, so there might be some gains to be made there, but after using it, I think the learning curve is a function of its architecture, which is a large part of what makes it so resilient. If it can be improved while maintaining (or improving on) resilience, awesome, but I personally know that I won't sleep well at night if my monitoring service isn't rock-solid.
About dashboard: we fully agree with you, but for that we need some more experience in UI/ux and design. Also we are not so big as, for example, datadog. But we will be glad to improve it and to hear the suggestions.
Why? Because you are not building a tracer but a monitoring tool.
Your dashboard is very hard to read because it is basically just tables and your tables do not give you any visual cue. I would highly recommend getting some icons from something like https://fontawesome.com/ and make it visual clear in what screen you are.
If you have any status text, like open/closed etc. give them appropriate color like green and red.
With your rules, it does look like code so why not with a coding theme? Like how githubs markdown makes code different from the rest of the text.
Give buttons appropriate colors.
with your live view, make sure that certain text is aligned vertically;
Give your Memory graphs proper units. 500000000 is not helpful.
I would highly recommend you to take a little bit of time to look to current existing and well working solutions so you can see what makes sense and what doesn't.
I would argue that not using something like Grafana for your frontend, is a big missing feature.
