nft show counter

[Frank Wunderlich <frank-w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

i want to read counters defined in nftables, but have not found a solid way to do this

nft list table ip filter

shows me the rules from specific table with all chains, rules and counters, e.g.

	chain voip1 {
		counter packets 3226 bytes 780864 accept
	}

	chain voip2 {
		counter packets 1640 bytes 119449 accept
	}

this needs to be parsed with grep/sed/awk, so maybe there is an easier way to read the counters. found nothing in manpage or google, so i just ask here. maybe there is a way to show the last x min traffic. i need this to check if connections is "alive"

regards Frank
