Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and metrics visualization frontend can be vibe-coded easily, but integrating with OPNsense and MikroTik APIs/SNMP/Syslog requires networking domain knowledge and real-time metric ingestion pipelines.
What it would actually take: The stack would typically consist of a Go/Python backend collector polling MikroTik RouterOS API and OPNsense REST APIs alongside SNMP/NetFlow exporters, storing time-series data in Prometheus or InfluxDB, visualized via Next.js or Grafana. The difficult piece is reliably handling router connection state, firewall flow tracking, and diverse network protocol nuances across hardware firmware versions. It requires practical network engineering experience and access to physical/virtual router testbeds.
