This is a Munin plugin to monitor your Ubiquiti Unifi wireless AP status.

• It queries the APs via SNMPv2 and converts result for munin.
• Requires:
  • Enabled SNMP on Access Points.
  • Network access from munin-node server to AP's network.
  • PHP 7.0 or above
  • PHP SNMP module
  • PHP JSON module
  • Debian(9+): sudo apt-get install php php-cgi php-snmp php-json
• It can use php child-processes to get responses faster.
• If snmp oids are different on your product, you can use
  snmpwalk -v2c -c public ap01.network.lan 'iso.3.6.1.4.1.41112' command to clarify them.
• Official UBNT Unifi SNMP MIBs are available here: Forum
• Tested with: AP-AC-PRO (up to now).

Installing on Debian

1. Copy the ubnt_unifi.php into the /usr/share/munin/plugins/ folder.

2. Set the rights:
   chmod 755 /usr/share/munin/plugins/ubnt_unifi.php

3. Create a symlink to this file:
   ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/ubnt_unifi.php /etc/munin/plugins/ubnt_unifi

4. Edit the /etc/munin/munin.conf and /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node files, add the following configuration lines.

5. Restart the munin, and munin-node with /etc/init.d/munin restart and /etc/init.d/munin-node restart commands.

6. Test the plugin with the munin-run ubnt_unifi command.

7. Check for munin configuration with: munin-run ubnt_unifi config command.

8. Debug information are available under munin-run ubnt_unifi debug command.

CONFIGURATION

Edit the /etc/munin/munin.conf with the following options:

[unifi.company.com]   #Unifi Controller hostname
  address 127.0.0.1   #This plugin uses a wirtual munin node on localhost,
  use_node_name no    #but don't need to use the node name.
  timeout 240         #Timeout, while this plugin can be running.

Edit the /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node, and use the following configurations:

[ubnt_unifi]   
  timeout           -   Munin-update timeout for this plugin.  
  env.controller    -   The unifi controller hostname/ip.  
  env.devices       -   A "space" separated list of the hostnames or IP addresses of wireless APs.  
  env.timeout       -   The maximum timeout in milliseconds of SNMP requests. (must enough to get all data!).  
  env.retry         -   Number of retry after failed/time out SNMP requets.  
  env.maxproc       -   Maximum nuber of child processes (for SNMP get)
  env.devnetw       -   The network of the APs. (COMMENT IT OUT, IF NOT USED !!!)  
  env.resolvdup     -   Clarify if Ap is duplicated (Listed via hostname at "devices", and also is in "devnet" network/mask)  

For example:

 [ubnt_unifi]    
   timeout 240  
   env.controller unifi.company.com
   env.devices ap01.wl.company.lan ap02.wl.company.lan ap03.wl.company.lan 10.10.1.6 10.10.1.7 10.10.1.8   
  #env.devnetw 10.10.1.10/24  
   env.timeout 850  
   env.retry 3  
   env.maxproc 32  
   env.resolvdup 1  

DEBUG Checklist

• Munin output with: munin-run ubnt_unifi command.
• Munin configuration with: munin-run ubnt_unifi config command.
• Debug information with: munin-run ubnt_unifi debug command.
• Is there a direct connection (Routing/SNMP_port: 161) between munin-server and Access Points?
