          The short answer is: No.



          You would have to run a packet tracer, such as tcpdump or wireshark, and count them from that.



          OR:



          Make some iptables rule that makes a log entry for each connection (which might not be be the same number as requests, if multiple can be done per connection.



          However, because HTTPS is encrypted, there isn't a good way to isolate "HTTPS: GET" from the rest of the traffic, as can be done for unencrypted HTTP. For example, I was able to extract this from my tcpdump logs for one computer and HTTP only on my network:



          doug@DOUG-64:~/tcpdump/104$ gunzip -c all0.txt.gz | grep "IP 192.168.111.101." | grep ".80:" | grep "HTTP: GET" | grep "^2019-01-" | wc -l
          29835
          doug@DOUG-64:~/tcpdump/104$ gunzip -c all0.txt.gz | grep "IP 192.168.111.101." | grep ".80:" | grep "HTTP: GET" | grep "^2019-02-" | wc -l
          69684


          Meaning it did 29835 HTTP requests in January and 69684 in February.
