Just looking for a definitive answer as to what this number represents, how it is calculated, can I edit a config to make it do what I want, etc.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I can't seem to find a description anywhere in the Icecast documentation, and Googling doesn't help because all that comes up in the search results are other people's Icecast server front ends.

Thanks in advance!

peak is the highest the listener count has been since it was created.

Perfect...does anyone know if this resets if the server bounces? And I'll re-ask if anyone knows if I can fudge with a config somewhere to make this a daily, weekly, or monthly peak if I so chose?

It will be dropped when the mountpoint goes, which includes a server bounce. we could add a reset to zero via admin I suppose.

You rock, Karl, thank you. I'm sure that we can achieve similar results, though perhaps not as instantaneous, through Sawmill or some other log analysis package. As long as I know the 411 now on exactly how that number is calculated, I'm happy.
