Question
Logging: traffic calculation
Hello everybody,
for accounting I need some infomation on the FMS access log data.
We need to bill our clients for Player traffic. In order to do that, is it a valid procedure to
1) extract all lines with an x-category of "stream" and an x-event of "stop" and
2) pick out the value of the sc-stream-bytes field
to get the traffic for a single stream hit, taking into account all pause and seek operations?
The documentation says:
"To calculate the bandwidth usage per stream, subtract the 'sc-stream-bytes' in the 'play' event by the 'sc-stream-bytes' in the 'stop' event.
It might get a little difficult to find the corresponding "stream/play" entry for a "stream/stop" event, especially if the entries are contained in different log files. Anyway, in all my testing I always got an "sc-stream-bytes" value of 0 for "stream/play" events. Under which circumstances can the value of this field be greater than 0?
Any help on this topic is appreciated.
Thanks
Stefan
