Question

Administration Console Connection Count

I'm unable to acquire an accurate connection count for live streams.  My current setup entails a live Multi-Bitrate stream via HTTP HLS and HDS with DVR (HDS) and sliding window (HLS).  My connection count persistently shows five connections, which is actually the number of streams I'm delivering for the live Mult-Bitrate streams.  It doesn't matter if I have 20 viewers or 100 viewers, the count always show five.  Any suggestions?

    Just in case if you get confused - what Chandan is saying is that Admin Console would give connection details only from AMS end i.e. number of connections coming to AMS. Admin console would not give any details about HTTP Streaming traffic like how many subscribers and all.

    I assume those 5 connections are of RTMP type. To get HTTP connections simply do this command for Apache: http://www.yourdomain.com:8134/server-status?auto <http://www.yourdomain.com/server-status?auto> .

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you Petro, this was helpul.  For some reason on my Apache, I did not have to use :8134.  I think the number I'm looking for is BusyWorkers.  However it's kind of mis-leading because I have multi-bitrate streaming, so a viewer can represent 1 to 5 BusyWorkers.  If 100 viewers are constantly switching between the multi-bitrates, then potentially I can have 500 BusyWorkers.  Would 500 BusyWorkers mean 500 viewers?  When reality I have 100 viewers.  I did notice that after a while once, a particular bitrate becomes persistent, the BusyWorkers drop down (perhaps they expire).  So if the viewers have consistent bandwidth, I can assume each BusyWorker represents a single viewer.

    Currently you can not get total no. of connections count from AMS end for HTTP (HDS/HLS) streaming.
