Monitor Unifi AP's

Votes:

0

Maybe this is a long shoot, but I thought I would ask anyway.

I have a Unifi AP and from what I can understand it should be possible to obtain some data from it. I have read through some forum threads and also contacted Unifi support regarding this. They refered to this forum thread:

http://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/UniFi-PRO-AP-SNMP-OID/m-p/772894#M59490

From the info I got Unifi AP's do not have MIB's at this time. But it should be possible to use SNMP and OID for monitoring. I used MIB Browser to find some OID's and this is what i could extract:

My question is if there is anyone that know how I can use this information and get data from it in PRTG?

Thanks!

From what I can tell, you can use SNMP CPU Load and SNMP Uptime. SNMP Traffic should work as well. SNMP Memory might work. Can you try to create those sensors on the target device?

I tried to creaty SNMP CPU Load, but I only get a error "No response (check: firewalls, routing, snmp settings of device, IPs, SNMP version, community, passwords etc) (SNMP error # -2003)"

Then SNMP is either not configured correctly or still turned off. This maybe needs to be configured in the UniFi Controller :)

The SNMP has been enabled since several days. See here https://imgur.com/IyxvAGQ

And PRTG is configured accordingly? SNMP v1 will only give you 32bit counters. (Proper) SNMP support for wireless APs will probably never come :(

Not sure if you got it working, but I have added the following to config.gateway.json file on the controller, and then I got access.:

{
  "service": {
    "snmp": {
      "community": {
        "public": {
          "authorization": "ro",
          "network": [
            "192.168.0.0\/24"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
