That was fast and looks like a great start! :)

For future enhancements to this - in order to expose metrics/stats for
specific filters you could get inspiration from grok_exporter:
https://github.com/fstab/grok_exporter, and have configuration options that
accept nfdump filters and user-selectable tops that expose the data as
custom metrics (somebody could script and generate the exporter config, and
the exporter would gather data on request from nfdump/nfcapd).

It may be tricky to configure - having the configuration in the exporter
means it needs to run nfdump against a nfcapd file on demand - which might
not scale (it gathers data when the exporter URL is loaded, and it should
be a quick process). Having the configuration to export in nfcapd would
allow nfcapd to keep track of the metrics and the exporter would just
collect the latest values. But changes imply restarting nfcapd...

Regards,
Adrian
