Rare project developers

Dear Carmen,
I hope this helps, here is the sensor definition I have in my wedge, 
take into account that you need a sensor for bytes and another for packets

wedge32umu#show run sensor ifaces-hw
sensor ifaces-hw
 path interfaces-hw/interface/counter
 prefix freertr-ifaces
 prepend iface_hw_byte_
 command sho inter hwsumm
 name 0 ifc=
 key name interfaces-hw/interface
 replace \. _
 column 1 name st
 column 1 replace admin -1
 column 1 replace down 0
 column 1 replace up 1
 column 2 name tx
 column 3 name rx
 column 4 name dr
 exit
sensor ifaces-hwp
 path interfaces-hwp/interface/counter
 prefix freertr-ifaces
 prepend iface_hw_pack_
 command sho inter hwpsumm
 name 0 ifc=
 key name interfaces-hwp/interface
 replace \. _
 column 1 name st
 column 1 replace admin -1
 column 1 replace down 0
 column 1 replace up 1
 column 2 name tx
 column 3 name rx
 column 4 name dr
 exit
