REST API to check persistent queue file size

Hi all,

As per the title, may I know if there is any REST API to get the persistent queue size in Heavy Forwarder?

I have set up persistent queues in my Forwarders. I would like to monitor the queue size from Monitoring Console in case the size exceeds beyond certain level (e.g. 1MB, 10MB, etc), in which case I would like to fire alert if that happens. So far I'm checking out the reference manual but unable to find any so far.

Any helps are much appreciated. Thanks!
