# Backstory

Okay, so here's the deal. I found a simple piece of code on github that
sorta did what I needed; we all know that story. I wanted more data, so
I added more data collection. I believe I've completely rewritten every
piece of original code, except the copyright/license file and that's fine
by me. I probably wouldn't have made it this far if
[Garrett](https://github.com/dewski/unifi) hadn't written the original
code I started with. Many props my man.

The original code pulled only the client data. This app now pulls data
for clients, access points, security gateways and switches. I currently
own two UAP-AC-PROs, one USG-3 and one US-24-250W. If your devices differ
this app may miss some data. I'm willing to help and make it better.
Open an [Issue](https://github.com/davidnewhall/unifi-poller/issues) and
we'll figure out how to get things working for you.

# What's this data good for?

I've been trying to get my UAP data into Grafana. Sure, google search that.
You'll find [this](https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/Grafana-dashboard-for-UniFi-APs-now-available/td-p/1833532).
And that's all you'll find. What if you don't want to deal with SNMP?
Well, here you go. I've replicated 90% of what you see on those SNMP-powered
dashboards with this Go app running on the same mac as my Unifi controller.
All without enabling SNMP nor trying to understand those OIDs. Mad props
to [waterside](https://community.ubnt.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/303058)
for making this dashboard; it gave me a fantastic start to making my own.

# What now...

- I probably suck at InfluxDB.

I don't know what should be a tag and what should be a field. I think
I did my best, but there's certainly room for improvements in both
the data input and the Grafana graphs (output).


- The USW and USG code needs love.

Up to this point, my focus has been on UAP. I have only included dashboards
that focus on UAP. I am still working on the other two, but it may be a while
before I get around to publishing them. Help is appreciated.


- Are there other devices that need to be included?

I have: switch, router, access point. Three total, and the type structs are
likely missing data for variants of these devices. e.g. Some UAPs have more
radios, I probably didn't properly account for that. Some gateways have more
ports, some switches have 10Gb, etc. These are things I do not have data on
to write code for. If you have these devices, and want them graphed, open an
Issue and lets discuss.


- Better Installation instructions.

If you're a nerd you can probably figure it out. I'd still like some pretty
pictures and maybe even a Twitch VOD.


- Sanity Checking

Did I actually graph the right data in the right way? Some validation would
be nice.


- Radios, Frequencies, Interfaces, vAPs

My access points only seem to have two radios, one interface and vAP per radio.
I'm not sure if the graphs, as-is, provide enough insight into APs with other
configurations. Help me figure that out?

# What's it look like?

Here's a picture of the UAP dashboard. This only shows one device, but you can
select multiple to put specific stats side-by-side.
