Garbage-Collection VS unifi-poller

I've gone a step further - I let my home automation setup remind me using a home assistant integration I found: https://github.com/bruxy70/Garbage-Collection

https://github.com/bruxy70/Garbage-Collection on Home Assistant will manage the schedule and set state that you can then read form NodeRed to do things like light something up to warn you, etc.

I've used this integration in HACS for the recycling component: https://github.com/bruxy70/Garbage-Collection

I use the garbage collection sensor custom integration (Link). Despite it being named garbage collection, it is a very powerful countdown to scheduled tasks sensor. You can set it up for all sorts of schedules so hopefully it works for you. Then you can have automations trigger off of the sensor value to know when it is close to going off, or due.

The trash schedule is another HACS integration although you can add it manually. Details can be found at https://github.com/bruxy70/Garbage-Collection

Not in default HA, but you could 100% repurpose the Garbage Collection HACS integration for this! https://github.com/bruxy70/Garbage-Collection

Are you running NodeRed on HomeAssistant? If so look at the Garbage Collection integration. I'm not kidding! It's perfect for creating a sensor that enables every other week on a specific day of the week. Then just watch for that sensor in NodeRed and take action accordingly.

possibly https://unpoller.com/ ?

I'm looking for something that will pull near real time switch port traffic. The 5 min avg that the gui gives you isn't granular enough. I did find https://unpoller.com/, but doesn't appear to be updated in a few years. Is there anything else, that maybe uses SNMP or something?

I have Unfi equipment and I use unpoller

Not at all. If you're looking to get accurate metrics from the Unifi, then I'd suggest using UniFi Poller with Grafana

If you've got Ubiquiti like I do you can use https://github.com/unpoller/unpoller to push your logs / stats to your stack I believe. Or alternatively the OPNsense one.

Unifi Poller -> Prometheus -> Grafana

The Dashboard consists of: Varken for aggregating data from the Plex ecosystem into InfluxDB using Grafana for a frontend. OPNsense capturing with the help of Telegraf plugin. Adguard Home monitoring utilizing a custom exporter named Adguard_Exporter for prometheus. UniFi agregating with UnPoller. For TrueNAS Scale, I installed the community catalog for installing Kube Apps, this allowed me to installed Prometheus and use the node-exporter provided on this dashboard. Proxmox metrics server provided here.

Why not just use https://github.com/unpoller/unpoller and modern observability like Prometheus and Loki for events and logs ?? It is working on my side and cannot back to things like Zabbix, Cacti or anything like this. Alerting also possible without any problems.
