Just starting my first attempts with the CX-OS API and I want to retrieve an attribute but as far as I can see I am doing exactly what the documentation tells me but it won't work. If I request

},I get a list of all the interface stats and exactly as in the docs it says I can extract just one by adding it after a dot
https://10.0.0.1/rest/v10.04/system/interfaces?attributes=statistics.rx_bytes&depth=2But that just returns
{
"1/1/1": {},
"1/1/10": {},
"1/1/11": {},
"1/1/12": {},
"1/1/13": {},
"1/1/14": {},
"1/1/15": {
"statistics.rx_bytes": null
},
"1/1/16": {
"statistics.rx_bytes": null
},
"1/1/17": {
"statistics.rx_bytes": null
},
I have tried it with the v1 api, just one interface, varuious formats
https://10.0.0.1/rest/v10.04/system/interfaces/1%2f1%2f1?attributes=statistics.rx_byteshttps://10.0.0.1/rest/v10.04/system/interfaces/1%2f1%2f1?attributes=rx_bytesand even by copying the URI byte for byte from a known working aruba certified script which still doesn't work
https://10.0.0.1/rest/v1/system/interfaces/*?attributes=statistics.tx_dropped&filter=type:systemI have read and re-read the documentation and it even gives an example like my first attempt.
The resulting example URI to monitoring CPU utilization is the following:
/rest/v1/system/subsystems?attributes=resource_utilization.cpu
and I get the same thing:
Error when calling GET: Invalid attribute resource_utilization.cpu.
but
/rest/v1/system/subsystems?attributes=resource_utilization
works fine, returning all the attributes
What's going on?
