Have you dreamed of monitoring your UniFi network with Docker; the wait for me is over thanks to “UniFi-Poller”. First of all the credits for this goes to those guys (UniFi-Poller).
Requirements:
Unraid or Docker under Ubuntu
Grafana
InfluxDB
Ubiquiti makes networking devices like switches, gateways (routers) and wireless access points. They have a line of equipment named UniFi that uses a controller to keep stats and simplify network device configuration. This controller can be installed on Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, Linux or Docker. Ubiquiti also provides a dedicated hardware device called a CloudKey that runs the controller software. More recently they’ve developed the Dream Machine; it’s still in beta / early access, but UniFi Poller can collect its data!. For Installation and Configuration, visit: UniFi-Poller
There you will find all the steps you have to take. So far, I can say the setup was very easy and straight forward.
This is really great!!! Thank you so much. I have been using a UniFi exporter for managing the UniFi equipment in the office but as it seems I will migrate to this one. Support for InfluxDB and Prometheus is great and please don’t let start talking about the pre-made dashboards.
What kind of hardware would this need to run on? Would a pi Zero W be enough? I also have a pi 3b, but it is currently running pi hole and mqtt on DietPi OS
I’m 5 month late but I was wondering if this would work with a docker install of Home Assistant, using HA InfluxDB and Grafana addons ? Seems it works great but you have to duplicate both Grafana and InfluxDB which seems not optimal.
Does anyone knows of a good install tutorial connected to HA’s InfluxDB ? I thinl once the data is in InfluxDB, using HA’s Grafana should be easy.
and please don’t let start talking about the pre-made dashboards.
