Real-time test execution metrics (time-series)

We run most of the automated suites in a remote machine and thus the test results are accessible only at the end of the execution OR else, we need to check the console for the results for the progress. What if we can have a way that gives us the execution results while the tests are actually being executed in the remote machines? Yes, it's possible by using time-series database like InfluxDB, Graphite, etc. that supports insertion and real-time querying of data via a SQL-like query language, so we can use it to collect all the test metrics and then use Grafana or Kibana which is an excellent and powerful visualization tool to form a dashboard.
