unifi-poller VS mini-graph-card

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.

Unpoller to collect metrics from my network devices

Ich auch. Das ist aber Homeassistant + https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card

It's a Vertical Stack in Card with Simple Thermostats and some Mini Graph Cards to show the data. I really need to clean up that section of the dashboard, but it still looks better than the stock thermostat card in my opinion.

As mentioned in a previous post, this depends upon the Mini Graph Card available via HACS or here: https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card. Also note that the "Total payouts" graph depends upon an input_number helper (named input_number.total_mining_payouts in this case) and another script that updates that value. Let me know if you're interested in that and I can share it too. Otherwise, just remove the last graph to prevent errors. That script is also responsible for sending push notifications to my phone when payments are sent.

I'm using mini graph card custom lovelace card.

I'm using the 'custom:mini-graph-card' to display the graphs: https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card

I personally use mini-graph to stack all my temperature graphs together.

Here's a mini graph card on HACS that has a TON of options, including smoothing.
