+Disk space is running low and /var/lib/mongodb/journal/* has lots of files in it.  On a test VM, modify /etc/mongod.conf to add in small files for journal.  See https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.4/reference/configuration-options/
+Then do the following:
+  sudo service mongodb stop (or find processID and kill it)
+  sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mongodb/journal/*
+  sudo service mongodb start (or reboot)
+The WiredTigerLog files in /var/lib/mongodb/journal/* are still 100MB large but after testing the Unifi app with the old journals cleared out the web application is responding normally.
+Since the test VM still had 100MB journal files, did not do that on the primary VM.

   * Review the [[https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/218506997-UniFi-Ports-Used|Unifi ports to open]]
     * As of 14 July 2018, add TCP ports 8080, 8443 and UDP 3478 to public/permanent
+      * Also add 8880 if you want guest portal access
     * Note: Enabling Cloud Access and accessing the controller via [[https://unifi.ubnt.com]] instead does not require opening 8443, and is safer since no direct Internet access is permitted to your controller's management.

 Then login to the controller and adopt the AP.
+NOTE:  If the controller won't adopt, you may have to factory reset it by logging via ssh and issuing hte command ''set-default''.  See tips at [[https://lazyadmin.nl/home-network/unifi-adoption-failed/]]
+Always follow the instructions when you ssh into the AP...you may need to run the ''set-inform'' command again.
