Wireless Access

I need to retreive the channel utilization statistics data as shown in the below screen shot using an API. What is the API to retrevie this information for both AP radios? I did not find an API for this in https://<server>/api page.

There is no official API on Airwave to get channel utilization inforamtion.

However, could try the below API and see if that helps? It will return time series data like trend but won't be a summaized statistics.

https://<your-amp-ip>/api/rrd_xport.json?start=-86400&stop=now&type=ap_client_count&group_by=Max&id=131&ap_uid=04%3ABD%3A88%3ACB%3A02%3AC4&radio_interface=2&ap_id=131&radio_index=1&ds=cc1

Thanks Vishnu. This API call works, wondering why its not part of the API.

I have altered the query as

https://<amp-id>/api/rrd_xport.json?start=-300&stop=0&type=channel_utilization&ap_id=22317&ap_uid=70:3B:0E:CE:25:6C&radio_interface=1

Couple of follow ups :)

1. Can I get the details of both radio 1 and 2 using the same API call? Now I have to make two seperate API calls and its an unnecessary overhead.

2. Can I include only certain fields (ex: get only avg, min, max) or exclude certain fields (ex: I dont need data: [..] ) in the response, its because our program have to pull this info every few seconds and will increase the rate of data transfer.

Hi Jonathan,

Currently there is no way to customize or summerize it. As mentioned earlier It will return time series data like trend but won't be a summaized statistics.

This API is actually very useful. We have been wondering how to export graphical data out of Airwave via API for awhile, knowing that the graph was constructed from distinct data points anyways. Is there any plan for Airwave to support these APIs officially in the future?
