r0123456789

Hello guys!
Thanks for the nice work with the rest API, it help a lot.
Can I ask to add stats hosts in the API?
Can be similar to xo-cli host.stats.
Today for see how many resources cpu my host using i need to use xo-cli or connect to ssh and use host-data-xe source-query data-source=cpu(X).

Will be a nice feature.
Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback

How would you like to use those? Eg in terms of use cases

@olivierlambert Thanks for the reply!

I have some scripts that collect cpu usage data and record this information in a database and make grafana search for this data to generate consumption graphs in "real time"

I tried to use netdata but when my hosts use 100% CPU netdata stop to collect and with netdata I can't see all CPU usage like xo-cli or "xe data-source=cpu"

I want to stop using ssh and xo-cli and use just the rest api to collect all my data.

I see. RRD Parsing is costly though, I will discuss with @julien-f about this. Also adding @yann in the loop since we started some work about Open Metrics.
