It looks like the only access to stats though is from shared memory. I guess running vpp_get_stats with ssh is the way to fetch the counters in this case. It would be nice if there was an API in VPP that mimic'd the vpp_get_stats functionality though. Could even expose that to the CLI.
I really just want the interface and error counts for now, was a little surprised there was no API for this (since it exists in the CLI).
