Monitor UniFi Controller via API without additional scripts

[dancastroofc]

Would it be possible to convert this template to be used in Zabbix 6.0 LTS?

[Yamdar]

Thanks for this template.
I was able to import it on Zabbix 6.0 and it's working fine for Unifi Controller on linux servers.

I am trying to make it work against UDM or CloudKey Gen2

I know for a fact that,
1: Port is different, it uses 443 as default
2: Login URL API is different, it uses: /api/auth/login instead of /api/login
3: API for Network app (on cloud key) is reachable through: /proxy/network/api/stat/sites instead of /api/stat/sites


If i do not modify anything to the script, i have a 404 result.

If i modify the code

var obj = JSON.parse(value);
host = obj.host;
port = obj.port;
user = obj.user;
password = obj.password;

var response, login = new HttpRequest();
login.addHeader('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
response = login.post(
  'https://'+host+':'+port+'/api/auth/login',
  '{"username": "'+user+'", "password": "'+password+'"}'
);

if (login.getStatus() !== 200) {
  throw 'Login failed with status code ' + login.getStatus() + ': ' + response;
}
try {
  response = login.get('https://'+host+':'+port+'/proxy/network/api/stat/sites');
  response = JSON.parse(response);
}
catch (error) {
  throw 'No JSON Response';
}
sites = response.data;
return JSON.stringify(sites);​

it returns

Cannot execute script: Error: cannot get URL: Timeout was reached.

• at [anon] (httprequest.c:375) internal
• at [anon] () native strict preventsyield
• at [anon] (function:12) preventsyield

Does anyone knows why ?

had the same issue... you need to set 'Content-Type: application/json'

Hey guys!

It worked until the part where it discovers it on the website, but then it displays the error
Can't run the script, no Json response, any ideas how to resolve it?

It's looking like this:

Hi,

I would like to use it but i get this error:

[michael.weber]

Helllo jvdb the template is using the Hosts IP Address for the URL:

Aside form that you need to condfigure the Macros {$UNIFI_USER} {$UNIFI_PASSWORD} and {$UNIFI_PORT}

Please check this.

hi,

I got it working and it's awesome!,
Maybe a weird request, we have multiple sites and sometimes we are preparing AP or Switches for our customers, once prepped and provisioned they are taken offline till they are shipped / installed on site.

They now show up as offline, we had a script before in Zabbix that filtered the devices were the name started with "#" or "^".

Is there a small possibility that device filter can be implemented so we can select or name devices that are prepared or waiting for installation or is there an easy way to implement this ourselfs?

Fixed Version in Github available. Let me know if it is working for you. I added some more "usable" error message now,

are you removing the APs from the controller after you configured them? If you remove them, everything should be fine.
The number about connected / adopted APs are returned by the UniFi Controller API and these values are not related to any name. So it is not possbile to filter these.
If you use different sites I can add a "filter" based on regex for sites to:

• Option A: dont create triggers if the names patches the regex
• Option B: ignore the whole site

Please let me know if I got your problem. If i am wrong please be more detailed

Thank you very much! 100% resolved, so much so that new alerts started to arrive...

michael.weber One question, do I have any alerts if someone connects to a specific network?
