erldash connects to an Erlang node using the dynamic node name feature to collect metrics. It only depends on erlang and erpc modules. So you can use this dashboard out of the box without installing any additional packages to the target Erlang node: erldash run [-c $COOKIE] name@$IP Metrics are collected using erlang:statistics/1, erlang:memory/0 and erlang:system_info/1 functions.
