You can hit the DFM server with an HTTP request to send you the data it would have shown you in the filers-ops report, but in a different form, such as comma-separated values.

Use a URL like

http://%7Bdfm-server%7D:8080/dfm/report/filers-ops?output-format=xls

You can pass arguments to filter the list by filer, or by group, however you like.
