<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are developing the redfish of openbmc, and want to expose some Ethernet information through the redfish interface, like packet count, drop count. My goal is to calculate the bandwidth / drop package rate of the Ethernet.
We can get those counts from Ethernet driver (/sys/class/net/{Ethernet_Name}/statistics), but as far as I know, there is no suitable d-bus to read those metrics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">My question is that: is it possible to create the new D-bus properties ( like under the /org/freedesktop/{network}/network/{Ethernet_Name}), then sync the counts to that D-Bus?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">It can really help us to get the metrics easily via redfish.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
