Good day,

tl;dr: How can I read these values via de API?

They are in a json schema, but not in a service

I'm interested in reading values such as "power_drawn_in_watts" and "amperage_drawn_in_milliamps" from a POE switch.

I see these are available in a json schema:

device-api-v7.0-16.10.0010\WC-device-api-v7.0\device-rest-api\schema\wired\PoeStats.json

But this schema does not seem to be used in any service: 

device-api-v7.0-16.10.0010\WC-device-api-v7.0\device-rest-api\services\server.html

I'm trusting these values are not unavailable via the API. All I can see available is  integer values of power, which is clearly insufficient information for somebody who specifically bought a POE switch and is interested in reading the power out of it.

Thank you.

P.S. I am very new to REST API, so excuse me if my lingo makes no sense.

Hi,

What model of switch ?

i get this with a 2530

Thanks for your response alagoutte  (btw, I thought I would receive an email notification for a response to my thread, but I did not).

The model is 2930F. I get pretty much the same information as you. I'm guessing the REST API does not offer "amperage_drawn_in_milliamps" (which is a value measured by the switch) and, therefore, the power is only made available in integer values on watts, which is very poor resolution.

I ended up resolving it using the REST CLI and parsing the response, or using SNMP. I ended spending much more time on this that I'd have expected. 

I recommend making the power in milliwatts available in the REST API. 

need to ask on innovate zone...
