malformed JSON string

[luigdima]

Hi!

When send this command:

root@zabbix:~/unifi_miner# ./unifi_miner.pl -a discovery -o uap -s bcg2fhu9 -l http://172.16.44.12:8443 -u admin -p pass00 -c 0

I will return this string:

malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "\x{15}\x{3}\x{3}\x{0}...") at ./unifi_miner.pl line 892.

Any idea? =)

Thanks!!

Hello again, Luis.

UniFi controller/Miner/Proxy works over HTTPS, not HTTP. Just use https:// instead http:// for the location option.

If tested with https:// the response is:

Seems that you use UniFi Controller >= v5.5.

Now i'm preparing new Miner/Proxy for release. It must be able to monitor a few new objects/metrics, and will have real v5 controller support, and fixed 'Error #500'.

At this time you can try to use quick fix from Proxy issue (i have fixed this error for Proxy, but did not have time for Miner, because switched to new release development...) - https://github.com/zbx-sadman/unifi_proxy/issues/11 - just change 'tlsv1' to 'TLSv12' in Miner's source code.

[luigdima]

Yes! I've changed 'tlsv1' to 'tlsv12' and it works! thanks!!

TLS moved to 1.2 in v1.3.5 release
