Interface counters via iControl

Hi,

 

We are in process of building analytics graphs, by collecting equipment counters via iControl (REST API). We managed to fetch the pool, node, member, VS counters and stats but we could not find a way to find the following metrics : - total connections - TPS/SSL counters - interface counters

 

We could not find the right objects to be queried via iControl for these graphs. Can someone point me in the right direction ?

 

Thanks in advance!

    I think it should be something below,

    curl -s -k -u admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://1.1.1.1/mgmt/tm/net/interface/stats | jq

    Output would be,

    Enter host password for user 'admin':
{
  "kind": "tm:net:interface:interfacecollectionstats",
  "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/net/interface/stats?ver=13.1.0.5",
  "entries": {
    "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/net/interface/1.1/stats": {
      "nestedStats": {
        "kind": "tm:net:interface:interfacestats",
        "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/net/interface/1.1/stats?ver=13.1.0.5",
        "entries": {
          "counters.bitsIn": {
            "value": 0
          },
          "counters.bitsOut": {
            "value": 0
          },
          "counters.dropsAll": {
            "value": 0
          },
          "counters.errorsAll": {
            "value": 0
          },
          "counters.pktsIn": {
            "value": 0
          },
          "counters.pktsOut": {
            "value": 0
          },
          "mediaActive": {
            "description": "none"
          },
          "tmName": {
            "description": "1.1"
          },
          "status": {
            "description": "disabled"
          }
        }
      }
    },

    Total connections

    curl -sku admin https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/connection

    TPS/SSL counters

    curl -sku admin https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/performance/throughput

    Interface counters

    Possibly you might be looking for the output from 'tmsh show sys traffic'. If that's the case,

    curl -sku admin https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/traffic/stats?options=raw

    If that's 'tmsh show sys tmm-traffic', then

    curl -sku admin https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/tmm-traffic
