Summary

Our system has strong system monitoring (Beszel heritage) and good domain monitoring (Domain Locker inspired). The gaps are primarily in:

1. Public-facing features (Status pages)
2. Enterprise integrations (SSO, 2FA, Teams)
3. Advanced monitoring (Real browser, gRPC)
4. API access for external integrations

The chart library is now exportable and can be used in other projects.
