## Common questions

### What installation order works well for the telemetry stack?

Install InfluxDB before UniFi-Poller, confirm data is being saved, then install Grafana.

### What do I need to enable to collect DPI data?

Enable DPI collection in the poller and in the UniFi controller configuration.

### How often does UniFi-Poller collect data in Influx mode?

It polls the UniFi controller every 30 seconds for measurements and exports the data to an Influx database.

### How does Prometheus mode work?

In Prometheus mode the poller opens a web port and accepts Prometheus polling. It converts UniFi Controller API data into Prometheus exports on the fly.

### How are plugin settings configured?

Plugin config structs are automatically unmarshaled from a config file and/or environment variables, and imported plugins are initialized on startup.
