how to get current bandwidth

[Patt92]

I have checked the functions so far, but wasn't able to find a way to get the stats like in the Dashboard. Is there a way to get those, or do you have to calculate with from 2 times running list_devices(), which will be most likely not accurate?

@Patt92 it helps to know which page this is from, which user interface you are using, and the exact controller version.

[Patt92]

@malle-pietje I'm using Controller 6.5.55 (New Interface). The values are from devices tab /manage/default/devices

[malle-pietje]

I checked this page but it appears this data isn't being pulled from the API. These are the API endpoints that are being polled: None of these appears to contain these stats.

Here's the output from the most logical endpoint /proxy/network/api/s/default/stat/health:

I'm afraid it looks as if you cannot access this data through the API...

@malle-pietje it is not the the tx_bytes-r and rx_bytes-r ? ( I know you can get it from the WS, but I saw it on your screen too ) .

I do a litte test, rying to download a big file :

• before downloading :

          "rx_bytes": 546391321,
          "rx_bytes-r": 1045,
          "rx_packets": 1773121,
          "tx_bytes": 3787885701,
          "tx_bytes-r": 800,
          "tx_packets": 4867683,

  • downloading :

        "rx_bytes": 548651670,
        "rx_bytes-r": 279792,
        "rx_packets": 1795244,
        "tx_bytes": 4154698172,
        "tx_bytes-r": 74902519,
        "tx_packets": 5111118,

rx_bytes-r move from 1045 to 279792 . and tx_bytes-r from 800 to 74902519 (seems strange that rx change too, but why not)

[malle-pietje]

Yes, but if I understand correctly you were looking for the stats per UniFi device, not the WAN stats. The rx_bytes could be the HTTP request, exact details will depend on how you are downloading.

[thib3113]

@malle-pietje this stats are coming from a client object, and not the client doing the HTTP request .

My client is just downloading a random 10Gb file from outside of the unifi network .

[malle-pietje]

Ah OK, would have been good to know the source of the data you showed. Anyway, you'll probably have to do some math to get the deltas.

[thib3113]

@malle-pietje maybe wait before close ;) ? . I'm just trying to help, I'm not the author of this issue :) .

About the Math, data are in Kb, and -r (tx_bytes-r/rx_bytes-r) properties are showing the "current" rate ... So no math needed ?

[Patt92]

thank I, I just noted, when I was about to do the calculation. It is indeed the rate in Byte

[thib3113]

@Patt92 ( comment removed ... It seems I did a misstake, seems to be bytes )

[Patt92]

I did it at port level from list_devices

Those values are Byte "tx_errors":0, "tx_dropped":0, "rx_bytes":4128331366485, "rx_broadcast":19822061, "rx_multicast":25603262, "rx_packets":3864636915, "rx_errors":0, "rx_dropped":0, "tx_bytes-r":42071, "rx_bytes-r":1372939, "bytes-r":1415011, "name":"Internet", "masked":false,

I did *8/1024/1024 and got the same value as on the Controller shown. Sorry the values up there and the screen don't match, but it is indeed Byte there

[malle-pietje]

Nice, thanks for sharing!

OK, missed that:wink:
