<br>
Yes. You should be using port stats for that. So I tried it myself but<br>
now I do not get any port stats data. Here is my code. It's empty. I am<br>
using the Murphy fork.<br>
<br>
On the multiple listeners, yes you can specify various actions within<br>
the callback function. In my emailed sample, I just log.debug() the<br>
output but you can do anything you like such as write to a database and<br>
the like.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
