wms-plugin-collection

hi,
i just installed wms-plugin-collection, and added ModuleLogViewerCounts, its all fine i am able to see update on cmd box after every 10 sec, but i want to know how do i access this info at http.

That collection module will not work over HTTP. It wouldn't work as an HTTProvider because it is logging every 10 seconds, so it needs to be started with an Application.

Richard

can you give me some idea how to make that application to have in on http

Use the built-in HTTPRovider, "HTTPConnectionInfo":

http://[wowza-address]:8086/connectioncounts

there is a problem
i tried it but it given me a issue
one stream was on as "1" and there was around 100 viewers and then i make it off but its still saying <ConnectionsCurrent>49</ConnectionsCurrent>, its like 10 mins and still saying 49 how 49 viewers when its off and how status is still <Status>loaded</Status>

I can explain: If you turn on your encoder and publish a stream, then 100 people subscribe to it, then you turn off the encoder, and 51 people close the browser, you will still see 49 connection subscribed to the stream. They aren't seeing any video because the encoder is turned off, but they are still subscribed to that stream. If you turn the encoder back on and start publishing a stream with the same name to the same application, those 49 clients will start receiving video again.

You could use the Watchdog module:

Also, with the HTTPServerInfoXML HTTProvider ( http://[wowza-address]:8080/serverinfo) you would see client node like this

<Client>
<ClientId>1265242471</ClientId>
<FlashVersion>FMLE/3.0 (compatible; FMSc/1.0)</FlashVersion>
<IpAddress>127.0.0.1</IpAddress>
- <Referrer>
- <![CDATA[ rtmp://localhost/live
]]>
</Referrer>
<TimeRunning>3.172</TimeRunning>
<DateStarted>Mon, Apr 19 2010 14:56:22 -0400</DateStarted>
- <URI>
- <![CDATA[ rtmp://localhost/live
]]>
</URI>
<Protocol>RTMP</Protocol>
<IsSSL>false</IsSSL>
<IsEncrypted>false</IsEncrypted>
<Port>1935</Port>
</Client>

But you would see that if FMLE is connected and not streaming, so it doesn't tell you if a stream live.

We're polling this for use in munin, and find that it's wildly inaccurate compared to fetching the same value via JMX.

The JMX graph (in bytes/sec) is here:


and the HTTP based graph (granted, bits per second.. but still vastly different) is:
