How to collect information about host WAN usage?!?

[jedie]

In my https://github.com/jedie/django-fritzconnection project, i would like to collect more information about a host.
Currently i store everything from get_hosts_info() and i have take a look on the output of get_mesh_topology()...

What i missed are information about the uptime and WAN usage of a host.
What does the FritzBox store for each host and how can I access it?

My FRITZ!Box 7530 AX has these services:

No.	Service Name
1	DeviceInfo1
2	DeviceConfig1
3	Layer3Forwarding1
4	LANConfigSecurity1
5	ManagementServer1
6	Time1
7	UserInterface1
8	X_AVM-DE_Storage1
9	X_AVM-DE_WebDAVClient1
10	X_AVM-DE_UPnP1
11	X_AVM-DE_Speedtest1
12	X_AVM-DE_RemoteAccess1
13	X_AVM-DE_MyFritz1
14	X_VoIP1
15	X_AVM-DE_OnTel1
16	X_AVM-DE_Dect1
17	X_AVM-DE_TAM1
18	X_AVM-DE_AppSetup1
19	X_AVM-DE_Homeauto1
20	X_AVM-DE_Homeplug1
21	X_AVM-DE_Filelinks1
22	X_AVM-DE_Auth1
23	X_AVM-DE_HostFilter1
24	WLANConfiguration1
25	WLANConfiguration2
26	WLANConfiguration3
27	Hosts1
28	LANEthernetInterfaceConfig1
29	LANHostConfigManagement1
30	WANCommonInterfaceConfig1
31	WANDSLInterfaceConfig1
32	WANDSLLinkConfig1
33	WANEthernetLinkConfig1
34	WANPPPConnection1
35	WANIPConnection1

Any idea?

Hi @jedie, you already have those info in FritzStatus:

• https://github.com/kbr/fritzconnection/blob/master/fritzconnection/lib/fritzstatus.py#L93
• https://github.com/kbr/fritzconnection/blob/master/fritzconnection/lib/fritzstatus.py#L108

and many more ;-)

This are information about the FritzBox not about a host/device (PC, Smartphone etc.) that used the FritzBox, isn't it?

[jedie]

I looked into the output of get_mesh_topology() now...
Seems that there is nothing about device uptime/internet usage...

The only thing is node_interfaces/node_links/last_connected ... But this UNIX timestamp is a little bit strange. It seems only to be a "valid" timestamp for connected WiFi Devices... All other devices has the same timestamp and this timestamp is the same as from the FritzBox (The "master" mesh role device) ... Maybe the last boot timestamp?!?

Maybe the FritzBox doesn't collect throughput information of the devices? Only upstream and downstream values from the box himself?

Sometimes it is kind of reverse engineering to interpret the results returned from the fritzbox. As the API is well documented, the meaning of parameters often requires specific knowledge. Regarding the traffic I also have not found host related informations so far.
