Killall is not supplied by default in Jessie debian anymore, apt-get install psmisc is needed.

After setting up the monitoring, this trigger worked, because the firmware version was obsolete. However, after updating the firmware at all the access point - it also hangs in the list of problems.

Zabbix agent/server 3.4.7
unifi_proxy 1.3.5
Template "Template UBNT UniFi Controller v5 - active checks"
Unifi server 5.6.11

Have this mostly working - can see throughput graphs etc in Zabbix.

However, the item "Template UBNT UniFi Controller v5 - active checks: [{#DESC}] Number of all UAPs on site | unifi.proxy[get,site,{#NAME},num_ap,,0]" is somehow always zero. Calculated items that subtract something from num_ap then end up disabled because the answer goes negative.

I have tested on the Unifi server with:

unifi_proxy_get 127.0.0.1 8448 get,site,sitename,num_ap,,0

and that always returns zero, regardless of how many APs are actually configured in that site.

We have your current unifi proxy running for many months with the Zabbix Agent 3.2.7. But today we updated the Zabbix Agent via their repository on an Oracle Linux 7.3 server and it gave us the error:

Got signal [signal:11(SIGSEGV),reason:1,refaddr:(nil)]. Crashing ...

I rebuilt the unifi.so file from zabbix source 3.2.10 and deployed it, all based on your instructions, but the same error occurred. We had to return to using a 3.2.7 agent to restore functionality.

The agent produced additional output, which i have attached.
unifi_proxy_errors.txt

Followed Proxy Guide to configure UniFi proxy v1.3.5 with controller v5.5.20

UniFi Controller has ~50 sites with 1-3 APs each, and about 100 users at per site at peak

$ tune unifi_proxy.conf user/password/location
$ mv unifi_proxy.conf /etc/zabbix
$ mv unifi_proxy.pl /usr/local/sbin
$ mv unifi_proxy /etc/init.d/
$ update-rc.d unifi_proxy defaults
$ invoke-rc.d unifi_proxy start

After a while, after items started to get values, I noticed that sertain items eventually become unsupported.
The message in Info column displays:
Value "" of type "string" is not suitable for value type "Numeric (unsigned)"
or
Value "" of type "string" is not suitable for value type "Float .."
On next one or two iterations "last check" and value columns updated, then item "recovers".

This effect drifts over items randomly.

In zabbix agent UserParameter conf is

UserParameter=unifi.proxy[*],echo "$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7" |nc 127.0.0.1 8448 -q 1

Testing from shell:
zabbix_get -s unifi -k unifi.proxy[get,sysinfo,default,version]
Gives emty string, and after a while it can yeld valid result.

So far no time dependency between queries, apperently cache issue, but can't figure out where. Please Help.

I am running Zabbix-Server 3.2.1. I have compiled unifi using the 3.2.1 source code but when I load the zabbix-agent I get this error.

cannot load module "unifi.so": /usr/local/lib/zabbix/unifi.so: undefined symbol: zbx_tcp_recv_line

Any suggestions?

I got this error:

root@server:~# /etc/init.d/unifi_proxy start

Can't locate IO/Socket/IP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/sbin/unifi_proxy.pl line 18.

So had to:

Please update the Guide. Thanks :)

Hi I have a little problem where I cant import any template besides USW one (active and passive). Other templates throw error at importing:

I cant find any info on this issue.

Zabbix 5.0, Ubuntu Server 20.0.4 (Focal)

Thanks for response.

Currently there is a template for Zabbix 2.4 is there also one that works for 2.0 or 2.2?

Great tool, stopped working with Unifi 5.6.10.......

Could you please look into that? Would be great if it starts working again!!!

Thank you for the superb work!

Can I use loadable module with zabbix 4 or 5??

Добрый день,
При использовании Unifi-Proxy версии 1.3.8 (JsonOutput=pretty) у нас возникла проблема с интеграцией UniFi Virtual Access Points discovery.
В заббиксе это выражено сообщением "Invalid discovery rule value: cannot parse as a valid JSON object: unexpected end of string data".
При попытке выполнить запрос вручную на сервере мы видим, что происходит не полный вывод json. В нем явно не все объекты и нет закрывающих скобок.
Пример окончания вывода

{
         "{#UAPMAC}" : "f0:9f:c2:30:cd:2c",
         "{#ID}" : "5e7d538ca9f6163bb0c3c9c9",

Немного о инсталляции:

Greetings,
Finding templates that work for unifi on zabbix is really not an easy task. I stumbled across your templates by accident while researching grafina possibilities.
I have downloaded the templates but when I try to import them into zabbix, I get the error "Import failed No file was uploaded." Reading your issues page I saw someone suggested removing the screens. Iwill try this and see.

My question is, how will this work with unifi controller v6?
Thanks
Lawrence

Hi,
Trying to monitor half dozen UAP, software controller V5.8, Ubuntu 18.04 server both on unifi controller and zabbix server.
zabbix_agentd -t unifi.proxy[discovery,uap] works on command line, but when I try to associate a template with a UAP host I get this message:

Cannot find host interface on "apu-fab.domain.tld" for item key "unifi.proxy[discovery,uap]".

Thanks for your assistance and time to make this code, best regards. Let me know if you need further information.

Receive the following error when trying to import zbx_v2_4_passive_Template_UBNT_UniFi_Controller_v_5_UAP.xml or its active counterpart to my zabbix 5.4 installation.

Cannot find value map "Service state" used for item prototype "[{#SITEDESC}] UAP "{#NAME}" ICMP ping" of discovery rule "UniFi Access Points discovery" on "Template UBNT UAP - UniFi Controller v5 - active checks".

Hello,

I made the unifi.so version of installation, but i have no datas from Unifi Controller:
# zabbix_agentd -t "unifi.proxy[discovery,wlan]"
# unifi.proxy[discovery,wlan] [s|{"data":[]}]

With the unifi_proxy_get script I have the same:
# ./unifi_proxy_get 127.0.0.1 8448 "discovery,uap"
# {"data":[]}

Unifi Controller Version: 5.5.20
Zabbix Server Version: 3.2.6
Zabbix Agent Version: 3.2.7

What can I do? Am I do something wrong?

Thanking in advance,
CsabiDuke

Здравствуй. Направь пожалуйста на правильный путь. Библиотеку скомпилировал, все положил и прописал как в инструкции. Но если ввести zabbix_agentd -t "unifi.proxy[discovery,wlan]" в консоли получаю следующее:

После этого zabbix агент умирает. В чем может быть проблема?

Document that in order get most of the data from unifi_proxy, zabbix_agentd.conf needs to have

Many of the items otherwise become unsupported as many parameters are passed with quotes symbol:
e.g. unifi.proxy[get,usergroup,default,"[_id=564c517ce4b07de37a55ff18].qos_rate_max_down"]

Hi.
I get the following error in the zabbix server.
How can we bypass or reduce output?

I suppose the problem is on the contorller side or some caching problem with the perl.

CONTROLLER VERSION: 5.7.23

Hello,

First of all thank you so much for the amazing work done here!
I've been facing more than 1000 unsupported items in Zabbix with the following message:

Preprocessing failed for:

1. Failed: cannot convert value of type "string" from boolean format: invalid value format

I noticed the issue is being caused because Unifi Controller's API is returning the string 't' for the keys and the template is expecting a boolean value (Numeric (unsigned)). I assume they've changed it recently.

Here is an example of key and the return I receive from unifi_proxy:

zabbix_agentd -t unifi.proxy[get,wlan,ibshgukd,schedule_enabled,588aa961c2dc433e74e46248]
unifi.proxy[get,wlan,ibshgukd,schedule_enabled,588aa961c2dc433e74e46248] [t|]

What can I do to solve this issue?

Best regards,

Everton Bernardi

Hi,
I installed the miner.pl but I receive a lot of 0 values and even no values.
I'm uqing the commands unifi.proxy, when using it in command line with zabbix_agentd -t unifi.proxy I receive the correct values but not in the zabbix interface.

I am running Zabbix-agent 3.2.10. I've compiled the zbx_unifi_Zabbix_3_2/unifi.c without error and the Zabbix agent loads it.

I can pull the unifi.alive value without issue, but the agent crashes when I try to pull a unifi.proxy value.

We've got a problem that we were hoping you could help us with. We're using the latest version of unifi_proxy with Zabbix 3.4.8. We've made a map that has an ICMP trigger for each access point so that we can see if they're up or not. Occasionally, the unifi controller (which has unifi_proxy on it) will lose communication with the access points for some reason. When it does, after a period of time, the triggers disappear from the map. The icons are still there, but the trigger that was configured for ICMP is gone. The strange thing is that the ICMP item and trigger are still in Zabbix. The problem appears to just be with the map. This doesn't happen with any other equipment that we've made maps for. It appears to be specific to any item generated from the unifi_proxy. Have you ever experienced this behavior before? If so, what was causing the problem? If not, what would you suggest I do to troubleshoot the map? I'm not sure where to start.

What would you recommend if i wanted to pull metrics into Zabbix? Miner or Proxy. From reading your guide, Proxy is faster and less stress on the server?

After setting up unifi_proxy and configuring Zabbix with the passive check templates, a good amount of the items are showing up as "Not Supported" with reason as "Special characters ", ', ", `, *, ?, [, ], {, }, ~, $, !, &, ;, (, ), <, >, |, #, @, 0x0a" are not allowed in the parameters." I am not sure clear on why this is happening. It is able to retrieve the other items just fine. The conf is set to use v5 and the Controller is running on 5.6.29. Items that are not working for instance:

Automatic upgrade firmware
UAP "Upstairs" clients with excellent signal
UAP "Upstairs" clients with low signal

Hello. I am trying to import the templates into a new load of Zabbix 4.4, and getting "Incorrect max columns provided for screen element" on the controller, uap, and user active templates. The usw template imported just fine. I've attempted to change/delete the max columns in the xml, but that did not work.

I am trying to import the new / updated templates in UniFi Proxy 1.3.0/UBNT_UniFi_Controller_v_5_Active_Checks but they do not seem to work:

I'm running Zabbix 4.2.1 and I was able to import the old templates in to 4.0.x and upgrade to Zabbix 4.2 later on without any issues.

I have also tested this on Zabbix 4.0.7 but no luck either.

3.0
Tested this on 3.0.27 as well, getting errors there as well.

They import, but are showing the following errors:

Just tried to import templates in https://github.com/zbx-sadman/unifi_proxy/tree/master/Zabbix_Templates/UniFi%20Proxy%201.3.0/UBNT_UniFi_Controller_v_5_Active_Checks and found that the "Discovery rules" are not using the type 'Zabbix agent (active)' but 'Zabbix agent' to query the discovery parameters.

Trying to use it with Zabbix 3.0 & Unifi 4.8.15

Some requests return valid data, some return an empty string. (checking the zabbix_agent.log)

I've tried to extend the timeout in zabbix_agent.conf and when calling nc(added -w 3). But did not helped.

The responses require a rather long time (when not cached): between 2 and 3 sec.

What to check?

Hi,

i have Unifi Controller with more than 150 AP's.
When i'm using unifi_miner, all is ok (only performance is bad).
For better performance, i want to use unifi_proxy.
I deploy it to server. Proxy is working, but when i execute for example main discovery query
/usr/local/bin/zabbix/unifi_proxy_get 127.0.0.1 8448
i get only 25 AP's.
Why? Where could be a problem?

Hi,

Constantly receiving these errors within the zabbix agent log. I have configured the timeout to 30.

also, for the unifi switch there is no data being mined.

zabbix_agentd.conf file has the following line -

UserParameter=unifi.proxy[*],echo "$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7" | nc 127.0.0.1 8448 -q 1

any pointers on how this can be resolved?

I was wondering if this has been tested with the Unifi Dream Machine or the Dream Machine Pro?

Hello,

Can you please check my configuration? I have been struggling to get Unifi_Proxy to work for many hours now. I can run the test command in documentation and get a response OK:

Then on my Zabbix Server I have created a new host and applied the templates you provided:

But no data is ever gathered, only "Unifi System Info":

Hi,

Is there some list of which type of commands I can run to get data from my Unifi proxy?

And in this case I mean, what I can insert in here (marked in bold):
./unifi_proxy_get 127.0.0.1 8448 "discovery,uap"

How can I use the key to get values directly from the Zabbix agent?
I’v tried to check value of “max client RX Rate” item, it’s seems to be in 10 times larger (300 Mbps instead of 30). I’v got the key from the Zabbix item in debug mode:

unifi.proxy[max,user,default,"[ap_mac=80:2a:a8:53:16:ee].rx_rate",,0]
And put it to the zabbix-agent request:
> zabbix_agentd -t "unifi.proxy[median,user,default,ap_mac=80:2a:a8:53:16:ee.rx_rate,,0]"
The answer is always “0”, and its seems to take this number from the end of request.

Please, explain me the correct way to make up unifi_proxy request. Thanks a lot!

Hello, how can I use unifi_proxy for version 7 controller, & zabbix 6?

Hi,

please, in our system is lot of AP devices and unifi_proxy_get return result, which has maximum count of chars in script (Buffer 65536).
I know, i can modify it and rebuild, but same problem is in Zabbix, where is limit of buffer also 65536.

Do you know some issue except rebuild whole Zabbix for solve this? For example something like separate results and make more discovery jobs.

Thanks

My unifi controller manages multiple sites. I have read through both the proxy and miner English manuals and I see no mention on how to implement this for each site when you have multiple sites on your controller. These sites are also monitored via zabbix by utilizing zabbix proxy.

TIA
