This really doesn't make sense to me, but then again, it is Ubiquiti.

I was trying to use your unfi_exporter for pulling stats into Prometheus, but was getting a weird type conversion error. When I traced it down, I found that on my controller (v5.5.7), the API endpoint for device stats is returning the stats.bytes field as a float64 rather than an int64. I don't know how partial bytes work, but ok.

At the top level, I see "bytes": 4710984, but then down within stats, I see "bytes": 4710984.8.

I also found it doing it with packets. It is kind of odd. I got around it by changing the raw object returned to use float64 for everything, then had it convert them to int64 when populating the public object.

I did see controller 5.5.9 is out, so may try it. I might also then fall back down to the stable 5.4.11 release. I was trying out the RCs, but don't know if they did some API breakage.

Hey @mdlayher! I'm not sure if you heard, but it looks like 5.7.20 has been fully released as stable: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Updates-Blog/UniFi-5-7-20-Release-Update/ba-p/2278500

I upgraded on a whim today and it looks like there are a few changes in the API responses in places - at least enough that I noticed unifi_exporter wasn't collecting some stats.

If you haven't updated already, I wouldn't advise updating quite yet - if we all run the new version, there's nobody around to save API responses for 5.6.xx so that we can make sure it's as backwards compatible as possible (if that's a goal of yours).

Either way, I'll probably be taking a look at this over the next few days as I get it working on my local network, and look to see if I can find any other obvious places that it's not working. I don't expect you to do any work right now, but I wanted to flag this for you so you knew not to update, and so you'd know to expect a PR sometime this week hopefully.

Let me know if that works for you and if you'd be open to accepting PRs for it!

They now seem to be called "wan" and "lan" and only exist for USGs. The "uplink" prefix seems to be gone.
