Grafana dashboard: Go Processes
Description: Process status published by Go Prometheus client library, e.g. memory used, fds open, GC details

I don't pretend to be an expert on the Go runtime or garbage collector.  These are just some panels that I found helpful in identifying problematic behaviour in Go programs, like file descriptor or memory leaks, or excessive garbage generation.  I publish this mostly to inspire someone more knowledgeable to create a better version.
