Comment on Presenting ilias, yet another dashboard because obviously the world needed one more

  Loved that idea so much that I went and implemented it: - The checks now have an automatic type inferrence and shorthand - introduced default rules that are used when nothing’s configured - realized that yaml-anchors always worked thanks to the lib I’m using.

  So now with this preamble:

  # Defaults are used when nothing is defined at the slot level. They can be overridden by defining rules directly on a slot.
  defaults:
    rules:
      - match:
          code: 0
        status: { id: ok, label: "✅" }
      - match: {}
        status: { id: error, label: "❌" }
  
  # YAML anchors: reusable fragments ilias doesn't interpret directly... 
  # it's all just yaml
  _anchors:
    pct_rules: &pct_rules           # works for disk, memory, CPU …
      - match:
          output: "^[0-6]\\d%$|^[0-9]%$"
        status: { id: ok, label: "✅ <70%" }
      - match:
          output: "^[7-8]\\d%$"
        status: { id: warn, label: "⚠️ 70–89%" }
      - match: {}
        status: { id: critical, label: "🔴 ≥90%" }
  

  I can now have a tile like this:

        - name: Memory
          slots: # combine anchors and default rules as well as check shorthands
            - name: usage
              check: "free | awk '/^Mem:/ {printf \"%.0f%\", $3/$2 * 100}'"
              rules: *pct_rules
            - name: available
              check: "free -h | awk '/^Mem:/ {print $7 \" free\"}'"
              # uses default rules
            - name: total
              check: "free -h | awk '/^Mem:/ {print $2 \" total\"}'"
              # uses default rules
  

  And the best? It’s fully backwards compatible ❤️

  Thanks again for the suggestion!
