made a little python-script (not yet with error-handling) to read out the bytes:
import os
import json
def getCounter(countername):
stream = os.popen('nft list counter filter '+countername+' -j')
output = stream.read()
#print(output)
j=json.loads(output)
return j["nftables"][0]["counter"]["bytes"]
print(getCounter("voip1"),"bytes")
print(getCounter("voip2"),"bytes")
Here's above using the nftables python module:
```
from nftables import Nftables
from nftables import json
def getCounter(countername, family='ip'):
nft = Nftables()
nft.set_json_output(True)
_, output, _ = nft.cmd(f"list counter {family} filter {countername}")
j = json.loads(output)
return j['nftables'][1]["counter"]["bytes"]
print(getCounter('voip1'), 'bytes')
print(getCounter('voip2'), 'bytes')
```
