PLUSInsights Plus

Browser Extension

A companion extension that brings Insights Plus data directly into your UniFi Network Controller.

Latest Version1.1.2

Breaking Change

Extension version 1.0.0 is not compatible with app version 3.3.0. If your server has authentication enabled, extension 1.1.0 or later is required and must be configured with an API token. Create one in Settings → API with client type Extension, then paste it into the extension (v1.1.0) popup.

What It Does

  • Threat Badges in Flow View - Every flow in your UniFi controller gets an inline threat score badge. See at a glance which connections involve known malicious IPs, port scanners, or brute-force sources.
  • Side Panel Enrichment - Click any flow row and the detail panel shows AbuseIPDB threat score, rDNS hostname, ASN/ISP name, abuse categories, and blacklist status.
  • Embedded Dashboard Tab - An “Insights Plus” tab appears in your UniFi controller's navigation, embedding your full dashboard without leaving the controller.
  • Click-to-Investigate - Click “View Traffic” on any enriched IP to jump directly to filtered log results in your Insights Plus instance.
  • Dark/Light Mode- Automatically matches your UniFi controller's theme.

  4. If authentication is enabled, create an API token in Settings → API with client type Extension, then paste it into the extension popup
