MX WAN Interface Send/Receive Traffic Statistics?

[Prodrick]

Which Dashboard API Endpoint might I call to get the send/receive traffic statistics for an MX Security Appliance?

[aleabrahao]

The only statistics I know about being able to get via API is what interface are being used and the amount of sent and received data.

How about netflow?

I’m already exporting Netflow/IPFIX but not via API. Which endpoint were you referring to? Thanks so much.

MX 😉

The only endpoints I am aware of are the Uplink Loss and Latency and the Uplink Status, which if my memory serves me do not provide port/interface or send/receive data.

Take a look at this discussion.

Thanks so much. This is what the default response looks like:

curl -L --request GET \
--url 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/[Network_ID]/appliance/uplinks/usageHistory' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer [API_KEY]' \
--header 'Accept: application/json'

You can also get the loss/latency details with...
