    Description:
        This API will return you a Python Dict of all the stats 
        based on your specified stats. The exact stat name could 
        be found on your IxNetwork GUI statistic tablets.

    Parameters:
        getStatsBy = The exact name of the stat that could be found on the IxNetwork GUI.
        csvFile    = The name of the CSV file that you want to store stats in.
        csvEnableFileTimestamp = Append a timestamp to the CSV file so they don't get overwritten.
                                 This should only be used for getting the final stat result such as 
                                 when the traffic has completely stopped.
