In plain English

MikroDash is a real-time network monitoring dashboard for MikroTik routers, which are widely used networking devices running an operating system called RouterOS. The dashboard connects directly to the router's built-in API over a persistent connection and streams live data to a web browser using Socket.IO, a technology that pushes updates without requiring the page to reload. The main dashboard shows live CPU and memory usage, traffic rates per network interface, active wireless clients, WireGuard VPN peers (WireGuard is a modern VPN protocol), DHCP leases (the assignments that give devices their local IP addresses), firewall rule hit counts, and a live map showing the geographic origins of active network connections. Cards on the dashboard are drag-and-drop rearrangeable and resizable. You can monitor multiple routers from one installation and switch between them via a dropdown menu. Alert notifications can be sent via Telegram, email, or Pushbullet when things like interface outages, high CPU, or VPN peer changes occur. The project is built in JavaScript, runs in Docker, and is intended for use on a local private network. The readme explicitly warns not to expose it to the internet without first placing it behind an authenticated proxy or VPN.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Deploy MikroDash with Docker and connect it to my MikroTik router's API.
Prompt 2
Set up Telegram alerts in MikroDash for interface outages and high CPU usage.
Prompt 3
Configure MikroDash to monitor multiple MikroTik routers from one dashboard.
Prompt 4
Put MikroDash behind an authenticated proxy so it's safe to access remotely.
