Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Guest]

Hello guys !

Only one question: what's plans for implementing statistics to subj as one i'm found in icecast 1.x ?

-PER MOUNT(!) listener clients HITS (not browsers or other!), traffic out, traffic in

is this very difficult job for icecast 2.x server?

Don't ask me to start new icecast instance per mount! It's costs my server resources...

Many people have suggested expanding on the stats handling but fail to give specifics. Feel free to suggest ones you think are missing.

Hi Karl!

Let me introduce some examples...
Today: (URL http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/stats.xml)

bitrate 128
genre icecast
listener_peak 0
listeners 0
listenurl http://127.0.0.1:8100/master
max_listeners unlimited
public 0
server_description XXX
server_name XXX
server_type audio/mpeg
server_url http://www.icecast.org/
slow_listeners 0
source_ip 127.0.0.1
stream_start Tue, 03 Jan 2006 22:34:19 +0000
total_bytes_read 2626400
total_bytes_sent 0

And what i want ? Some small addins:

PER MOUNT(!):
...
<listener_hits/>
<average_listen_time/>
....

in global stats (OVER SERVER!):
...
<total_bytes_sent/>
<total_bytes_read/>
<average_listen_time/>
...

[karlH]

so global server byte totals, maybe kbytes would be better for that measure and that would probably include file serve links like /status.xsl. per-mount accumulated connections could be kept easily

average listen time is more awkward, it probably shouldn't include file serving. I do have average bitrate per-mount in the -kh branch, maybe the same mechanism can work for the last N listeners.

Hi again Karl!

It's better (in my opinion) to add second counter special to measuring file serve job.
global stats will be like this:
...
<total_Kbytes_sent/>
<total_Kbytes_read/>
<total_Kbytes_sent_fserve/>
<total_Kbytes_read_fserve/>

so the "total_Kbytes_sent" variable holds all mount-points traffic EXCEPT 'file serve'.

and second question - what's about <listener_hits/> variable in per-mount stats. It is necessary-whether to expect it?

The per-mount accumulated listener count is certainly easily added, just add a report on trac.xiph.org so that those suggestions are not forgotten about.

karl, sorry for some offtopic: how can i do this ?

Use your browser and go to http://trac.xiph.org, click new ticket and fill out the details. Make sure the component is icecast
