FreeBSD
This page assumes that you have decided to install UniFi Poller on to an existing FreeBSD operating system.
First
Make sure you have set up a user on your controller for UniFi Poller to poll. You must have a working (and supported) version of Grafana and at least one of InfluxDB or Prometheus. If you don't have them, follow these instructions for installing InfluxDB and Grafana.
Installation
Install compiled binary from ports run:
pkg install net/unpoller
Compile
To build and install from ports run:
cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/unpoller
make install clean
Maintenance
See Application Configuration and the example config file for additional post-install configuration information.
When configuring make sure that you do not include :8443 on the url of the controller
if you are using unifios. Those are: UDM Pro, UDM, UXG, or CloudKey with recent firmware.
Use these commands to maintain the service:
# View manual.
man unpoller
# Edit config file.
# A defualt configuration file is placed in /usr/local/etc/unpoller/up.conf which is not overwritten on upgrades
# A sample configuration is placed in /usr/local/etc/unpoller/up.conf.sample
vi /usr/local/etc/unpoller/up.conf
# enable the service. Or edit /etc/rc.conf
sysrc unpoller_enable="YES"
# Start, Restart, Stop service.
service unpoller start
service unpoller restart
service unpoller stop
# Check service status, useful for scripts.
service unpoller status
# Logs should wind up in this file, but your syslog may differ.
grep unpoller /var/log/messages
