Adds a new `unas` input plugin that polls UNAS Pro storage consoles and
exports console health, storage pools, disks and shares to Prometheus,
InfluxDB and DataDog.
UNAS is a separate plugin rather than a device type inside inputunifi
because a storage-only console has no Network application: it cannot
answer /status, has no sites, and shares none of the UniFi device schema.
The plugin is opt-in and inert until an operator names a console. Opt-in
is expressed as "no devices configured" rather than a `disable` flag,
because a bool named `disable` zero-values to false and so cannot make a
plugin default-off. Initialize returns silently on an empty device list
and, unlike inputunifi, nothing synthesizes a default URL.
Two behaviours are worth calling out for reviewers:
- Metrics returns (metrics, nil) whenever any console was collected.
poller.collectMetrics uses `if err != nil {} else if metric != nil`,
so returning both would discard every healthy console because one
failed. Only a total failure returns an error.
- Re-auth fires on total failure, not on a 401. A mid-session 401 from
GetData surfaces as ErrInvalidStatusCode, not ErrAuthenticationFailed,
so there is no sentinel to match on. Session expiry fails all four
endpoints at once, which is exactly the total-failure case.
Prometheus metrics use the `unifi_unas_` prefix, which diverges from the
`unas_` prefix used by the reference implementation; dashboards built
against that will need query edits.
Requires unifi/v5 v5.31.0 for the UNAS client and structs.
Credit to alexgreenbank/unaspoller for mapping the endpoints.

Collect your UniFi controller data and report it to an InfluxDB instance, or export it for Prometheus collection. Twelve Grafana Dashboards included; with screenshots. Six for InfluxDB and six for Prometheus.
Installation
See the Documentation! We're willing to help if you have troubles. Open an Issue and we'll figure out how to get things working for you. You can also get help in the #unpoller channel on the GoLift Discord server. There is also a forum post you may use to get additional help.
Description
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, and UnPoller can collect its data!
UnPoller is a small Golang application that runs on Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, Linux or Docker. In Influx-mode it polls a UniFi controller every 30 seconds for measurements and exports the data to an Influx database. In Prometheus mode the poller opens a web port and accepts Prometheus polling. It converts the UniFi Controller API data into Prometheus exports on the fly.
This application requires your controller to be running all the time. If you run a UniFi controller, there's no excuse not to install Influx or Prometheus, Grafana and this app. You'll have a plethora of data at your fingertips and the ability to craft custom graphs to slice the data any way you choose. Good luck!
Supported as of Poller v2.0.2, are Loki and the collection of UniFi events, alarms, anomalies and IDS data. This data can be exported to Loki or InfluxDB, or both!
Operation
You can control this app with puppet, chef, saltstack, homebrew or a simple bash script if you needed to. Packages are available for macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and Docker. It works just fine on Windows too.
What does it look like?
There are 12 total dashboards available; the 6 InfluxDB dashboards are very similar to the 6 Prometheus dashboards. On the documentation website you'll find screenshots of some of the dashboards.
Integrations
The following fine folks are providing their services, completely free! These service integrations are used for things like storage, building, compiling, distribution and documentation support. This project succeeds because of them. Thank you!
