Learning Resources for Dashboard Design

Question

I'm looking for recommendations on resources that will help improve the skill of creating effective dashboards. It's an interesting area considering it crosses the boundary of statistics, UX, and knowledge sharing. I often know what a good dashboard looks like when I see it, yet I often can't pinpoint exactly what makes it good.Can anyone recommend some books, blog posts, etc. on this topic?

Just to clarify, dashboards in the sense of monitoring/grafana?In that case reading about RED/USE (https://medium.com/thron-tech/how-we-implemented-red-and-use...) was a real eye-opener.
