How to collect network statistics using Floodlight controller?

Hi,

Using the floodlight controller in Mininet, how can I collect network statistics?

The documentation only states how to collect bandwidth data: Floodlight REST API - Floodlight Controller - Confluence (atlassian.net)

Are there APIs available that I am unaware of that allows collection of other statistics such packets and flow statistics in a particular switch?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Ahmed, according to the Mininet website, FloodLight uses OpenFlow which is supported in EXOS until version 30.5. The following might provide some more insight for using OpenFlow and API usage in EXOS.
