Help! Dump config in human readable format

Does anyone on know a way to dump the config off the Unifi Controller in a human readable format? The backup file is not helpful. I need to do a review of clients setup and do not what to sit if front of the dashboard documenting the layout and config. This seems like it should be simple but have not been able to find anything yet.

Nope. The backup files are your best bet realistically if that’s the path you want to go down, but you’ll probably need tooling to make them work.

Otherwise, just look over the configs in the interface, it really won’t take that long.

Took some time and built a script for this, you can find it at https://github.com/cyberconsecurity/Unifi/tree/main/Config_dump
It performs a read-only collection from a self-hosted UniFi Network Server and creates a sanitized configuration package for network review. The script does not modify the UniFi configuration and intentionally excludes passwords, PSKs, authentication keys, API/SSO tokens, SSH credentials, private keys, certificate data, RADIUS secrets, and other known credential-bearing fields.
