v2.0

v2 Breaking Changes​

These things have changed and will require you to take action when you upgrade to this version. Make sure to copy your old config file values to the new config file format. If you use environment variables, they all need to be updated!

  • Config file format changed. All key names refactored for consistency.
  • Environment variable names changed. All key names refactored for consistency.
  • Some graphs require Grafana 6.6.0. Upgrade yours today!
  • All graphs require InfluxDB 1.7.x. Upgrade yours today!

v2 Updates​

  • New GitHub Org created for UniFi Poller. Moved from personal repo.
  • InfluxDB output code moved to separate library as modular plugin. (output module)
  • UniFi input code moved to separate library as modular plugin. (input module)
  • Prometheus code moved to separate library as modular plugin. (output module)
  • Poller app code moved to separate library. The main repo only handles builds and golang vendors now.
  • UniFi API code moved to new location from golift github org. It fits better in the new unpoller org.
  • New library created for config file and environment variable parsing.
  • Dynamic go plugin support added for output modules. May not prove useful.
  • Example (MySQL) dynamic output module created (for above).
  • Support for latest UDM OS using 5.12.55+ controller version. API paths changed.
  • Switch from dep to go modules. Now using to Go 1.13, from 1.12.
  • Clients' and Sites' DPI data added. It was a lot of work.
  • Application refactored to use "registering module" approach.
    • This means the main library knows nothing about the input or output modules. They register their own interfaces on load.
  • Adds FreeBSD packages and binaries for amd64, i386 and armhf.
  • New dashboard: Client DPI (for Prometheus and InfluxDB, 12 total)
  • New JFrogg Bintray YUM and APT repos for users to keep up to date.
  • Multiple controller support added to input module. You may configure multiple controllers and group them with roles.
  • Dynamic controller support added to input module and prometheus module.
  • All dashboards updated. Multi-controller support added, but hidden (since most users wont need it).
  • Many build fixes and improvements for packages, FreeBSD, Homebrew and Docker.
  • Type Conflict error fixes for InfluxDB (and probably more errors added, uhg).
  • Install script updates. Supports arm64 better and now supports FreeBSD packages.
  • unRAID Community Applications template updated.
  • Many many wiki updates.
  • The wiki was moved into its own repo and attached to a build pipeline that auto deploys tested changes to the main wiki (linked above)
  • The dashboards were moved into their own repo and attached to a build pipeline that auto deploys them to Grafana.com.
