I need to keep tabs on the usage at a remote site
using Starband so we don’t blow through the data
quota and get an enforced slowdown.
I have worked through how to get a ballpark figure
by doing a /interface ethernet print stats to a file
and having it emailed to me.
Getting the whole stats printout is overkill - all I
really need is rx-bytes and tx-bytes for ether1 and
ether2. Preferably in the body of the email rather
than an attachment, but i can live with that.
I haven’t been able to “read” rx-bytes and tx-bytes.
Errors out. They are described as “read-only properties”
in the Wiki, so I believe they are accessible. Just
can’t figure out how.
Thanks for any input.
