Icecast Streaming Media Server

Hello,

I would like to get the amount of listener on each mount point of the icecast server. I could parse status.xsl or create my own xsl but it is CPU consuming and I have to get realtime data (parsing should be done using a cron method).

What I would like to use is the error.log.

I've seen the following line which is useful for me

[2010-05-04 16:52:30] INFO source/source_main listener count on /MOUNT now 154

So I have a timestamp and the mountpoint and the value. Everithing I need. With those values from all the servers we have, we could do everything to report realtime.

But I need to write something to read the logs in realtime and extracting this data to a MySQL DB.

Does anyone know a tool doing that which is CPU-friendly ?

TIA,

Gimli

craft it how you want but here is a simple way

curl -X STATS -s 'http://admin:pw@host:port/' | grep listeners

Hello,

Is there any other -X VALUES than STATS that could be useful ? I've search in the doc and I didn't find any mention of this kind of call.

Thanks in advance,

Gimli

it's been around a while as the stats interface but has not really been documented or defined as such, a work in progress. I am thinking of using it for the master->slave feed for streams avoiding the streamlist updating that way relays can be started almost immediately. I mentioned it as it seemed useful to your query
