Hi,

basic question. I have a stream running on my network, but I have no idea from which machine is coming.

Checking the FMS Web Admin Console, I see this streaming running, I would like to know the IP or

hostname of the machine which is streaming this.

Where should I look for? In the log files (which one?) I couldn't find anything.

Thank you,

Nicola

    I just used Wireshark and sniffed the packets.

    Thank you for your help!

    Hi,

    Check the access logs. It must have fields for both source IP and destination IP.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for the fast reply, but problem not resolved.

    The logs are rotating every 5 days, and I think this stream is running since many days.

    In the access logs, I can see only IP that are requesting the stream, but not the source.

    But from the Web Admin console, I see this stream running. It is impossible to me that there is no way to find out from which IP...

    Thank you

    Hi,

    The access logs can be configured through logger.xml where you can mentin what fields to include.
    The other way to get IP , is through server side scripting (which needs you to stop and start the app after making changes) and use client.ip to log the ip of the client in the application logs. The full reference of the client class is @ http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/ssaslr/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7ec3SSASLR.html
