Ultimate Plex Dashboard | Monitor All the Things

Learn how to monitor your Plex server like a pro using Prometheus, Grafana, and Docker. In this video, I’ll show you how to track CPU, GPU, disk health, network usage, and Plex streams in a single dashboard. Stop Plex buffering, catch server issues early, and get full visibility into your media server.
