  • 1.  REST API to get interface tx_drops

    Posted Sep 09, 2025 10:15 AM

    What is the REST API request that I should use in order to get only the tx_bytes counter?

    When issuing the following:

    curl -k -X GET -b /tmp/cookie --insecure "https://172.16.0.3/rest/v10.04/system/interfaces/1%2F1%2F2?attributes=statistics" -H  "accept: application/json"
    I'm getting the full interface statistics:

    How can I get only the value for tx_bytes?

    Hi,

    Do you have try to use attributes=statistics.tx_bytes ? (may be need to encode dot)

    or you can use yq

    Hi @tal.madari ! The CX "attributes" feature only filters the first layer of the database/values that are returned - I'm double checking with engineering but from what I'm seeing nested filtering is not supported

    @tal.madari I checked with engineering and they confirmed that those features of attributes/selector/filter etc only apply to the "columns" or the first level of keys of the dictionaries returned

    Hi,

    You can try 

    curl -k -X GET -b /tmp/cookie --insecure "https://172.16.0.3/rest/v10.04/system/interfaces/1%2F1%2F2?attributes=statistics" -H  "accept: application/json" | jq -r '.statistics.tx_bytes'

    it will be display only tx_bytes value
