Completely agree.

My home network is built with Mikrotik kit which is priced where it's affordable to have spares. I have yet to encounter a failure, but could drop in a new router in a couple of minutes with the saved configs.

I have SNMP monitoring feeding from telegraf into influxdb on an RPI. Dashboard rendered with Grafana on PC. Also have telegraf pinging to all 24x7 devices and collecting data from electricity meter, smartplugs, and Nests. It's been fun to do.

What advantage does that offer over something like LibreNMS which will do everything ?

Would you consider doing a write-up of how you set this up?
