This workflow corresponds to n8n.io template #13565 — we link there as the canonical source.
This workflow follows the Chainllm → Google Sheets recipe pattern — see all workflows that pair these two integrations.

"content": "# Homelab Health Dashboard\n\nAutomated daily health monitoring for your homelab. SSH into your Docker host, collect 30+ system and container metrics, analyze with AI for actionable insights, and get a structured multi-embed dashboard delivered to Discord.\n\n### How it works\n1. Schedule Trigger fires daily at 7:00 AM (configurable)\n2. SSH collects system metrics (real CPU %, memory, all filesystems, swap, network I/O, top processes, zombies, failed services) and Docker metrics (container stats, health checks, disk usage, dangling images)\n3. A Code node parses everything into structured data and calculates a 100-point health score\n4. Historical metrics are loaded from Google Sheets for trend comparison\n5. AI analyzes current vs. historical data and returns structured JSON with severity-tagged findings and fix commands\n6. A 4-embed Discord dashboard is built: status header with inline metrics, actionable findings with CLI commands, Docker ecosystem + trends, and a footer with cost/timing\n7. Today's metrics are stored in Google Sheets for future trend analysis\n8. A separate path runs every 5 minutes for critical threshold alerts\n\n### Setup steps\n1. Add your SSH credentials - [SSH key setup guide](https://nxsi.io/guides/ssh-key-setup)\n2. Add your OpenAI API key - [OpenAI API setup guide](https://nxsi.io/guides/openai-api-setup)\n3. Add Google Sheets credentials - [n8n Google Sheets docs](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/google/oauth-single-service/)\n4. Click \"Test workflow\" on the \"\u25b6\ufe0f Run first-time setup\" trigger to create your tracking spreadsheet\n5. Copy the Sheet ID into the \"\u2699\ufe0f Configure monitoring settings\" node\n6. Add your Discord webhook URL - [Discord webhook setup guide](https://nxsi.io/guides/discord-webhook)\n7. Wire credentials to the SSH, Google Sheets, and OpenAI nodes\n8. Run the daily digest path manually to verify, then activate\n\n### Customization\n- Change the digest schedule in the \"Run daily health check\" trigger node\n- Adjust thresholds in the configuration and alert settings nodes\n- Swap OpenAI for Claude or Ollama by replacing the LLM sub-node\n- Replace Discord with Telegram, Slack, or ntfy by changing the webhook URL and payload format"
