API

These are the available API paths that the built-in web server provides.

  • The web server was added in UniFi Poller v2.0.2.

/debug/vars​

This path prints expvar data, which currently contains only memory statistics.

/health​

Prints OK.

/api/v1/config​

Prints poller config, uptime and plugins.

The empty plugins list under poller represents configured and loaded *.so shared-object plugins. These are rare and that list will almost always be empty.
