Grafana Example from Organizrr Discord (imported via Dashboards > Manage > Import) :

from: GilbN -- Plex dashboard for Grafana @Grafana-Group for anyone using Varken Thought I'd share the dashboard I made. (with the help of Rox and Tron) You will need to add the piechart and worldmap plugins for the dashboard to work. Use the variables to set the different data sources.

To Install PieChart/WorldMap:
```
    cd /opt/grafana/plugins && git clone https://github.com/grafana/piechart-panel.git && git clone
  https://github.com/grafana/worldmap-panel.git && docker restart grafana
```
