Linux-dash is not a network monitoring tool rather a tool to have a quick nice too, see performance stats real-time on a single system.

By default, linux-dash listens on port 80, if you need to listen on an alternate port, edit server/index.js file and update the line “server.listen(80)” . I use the default port here.
3. Allow the TCP port through firewall (if running)
If you have firewall running on your system, either allow the port or disable firewall. In my case, I use the default port 80 and hence allow port 80 through the firewall
4. Start linux-dash
[root@rhel7master linux-dash-master]# node server/ &
Linux Dash Server Started!
