verify_ssl

(boolean or filename)(Optional) Whether to do strict validation on SSL certificates of the Unifi controller. This can be true/false or the path to a locally trusted certificate to use for verification. Default value: false

monitored_conditions

(list)(Optional) A list of the sensors to monitor Default value: If not defined all sensors are setup

Monitored Conditions

The following sensors can be monitored

vpn

The status of the VPN sub-system

www

The status of the WWW sub-system Attribute data includes speedtest results

lan

The status of the LAN sub-system Attribute data includes the IP of the USG

wan

The status of the WAN sub-system Attribute data includes the WAN IP (e.g. dynamic IP as allocated by your ISP)

wlan

The status of the Wifi Access Points Attribute data includes number of guests

alerts

The number of unarchived alerts on the controller Attribute data lists the detail of each alert

firmware

The number of devices that are available for a firmware update. Attribute data lists the friendly name of the relvant devices.

In Development - Notes

The sensor currently accesses the controller everytime an individual sensor is updated. This should be optimised to access once and then feed data to the other appropriate sensors to reduce overhead.
