I'm looking at trying to find a way to pull data from the various (and disparate) IT systems to show general data in an "overall" IT systems dashboard. This would be something I can put on a large 50"-ish TV in our department as just a general snapshot of IT system activity.

System data points would come from all over the place, and I have no idea how to fetch the data, I just know what I am looking for.

As an example: * number of e-mail messages sent/received in the last 24 hours (we use Microsoft Exchange 2013) * Number of users in a given application (we use Citrix) * Number of "orders" processed (we use a proprietary app, but it uses a flat file database system) * amount of data backed up in the last 24 hours (we use CommVault) * ect...

So, with that in mind, where do I start? I've seen things like Grafana which looks like it could be really slick. I'm not a programmer, coder, or DBA; heck, I don't even use PowerShell very much. I'm an infrastructure generalist. I know my way around Windows systems pretty good, though, and I'm not afraid of rolling up my sleeves to learn what I need to know to make something like this come together.

Anyone done something like this?
