      This is what you see currently when you click on an ERL in UNMS.

        I can then click on Interfaces and then an interface and get this.

          Routing, you can add a static route.

            You cannot configure services, but you can turn some on and off.

              Thanks @JaredBusch, can they use DPI to see who is screwing the internet with Youtube, they way they could do with a local ERX via the IP address on the lan?

                @JaredBusch Would you run a Unifi Controller on the same VM as a UMNS? Or have them Separate?

                  No, the DPI info is not in UNMS yet.

                    UNMS runs in a docker container, unless you like pain.

                      @bigbear The statistics are just high level at this time.

                      The latency & outage is a measure from the unit to the UNMS controller.

                        You can click on almost any IP on any screen and it will pop it into a browser window. So if you have rules setup for that, you will be taken directly to the unit's login.

                          The only thing I can see suited to their described needs in the Unifi is the ability to use the web browser or mobile app to remotely look at what is going on with internet access when users start complaining about the speed slowing down.

                          I have a Unifi at home and I use the mobile app to block my kids at night, and can see they are on Youtube, etc.

                          I have always preferred the Edgemax, only bought the Unifi when I started reading here about the Unifi controller software.

                              Nope, just install a clean Debian 9.1 (or whatever is now current) and then run the UNMS install script.

                                Then the IT person can log in to UNMS and see what the overall speeds and such are. If there is a specific issue, they can log into the specific site. But this is a business and this below should not be an issue.

                                This is not a feature that should be used in a business. It is a business, not a fucking adult daycare.

                                  I dont think they intend to use as such other than to figure out where the bottlenecks are while they are occuring.

                                  Personally, I dont think there are bottlenecks, I think its the Sonicwall stuff they currently have.

                                    Well, the UNMS will certainly show bandwidth totals by port.

                                    I will be adding my first EdgeSwitch to my UNMS system this weekend. I assuming some per port statistics would also be available there.

                                      UniFi routers suck horribly. They are just EdgeMax router hardware with different firmware anyway.

                                      By suck he means they are a huge PITA to setup anything that's not currently in the GUI in the Unifi Controller software.

                                      If your setup is dead simple.. USG could probably work. But if you want VPNs, etc, I'd skip the USG and go ER-whatever.

                                        It does not yet, just CPU and latency right now. At least from what I have seen.
