Hi,

I modify my log4j configuration to log destroy events per App, my

Layout is:

c-ip,date,time,x-sname,x-status,c-proto,sc-stream-bytes

when comparing the number of bytes transferred from wowza to clients (sum of sc-stream-bytes), I found some inconsistencies in relation to that reported by the kernel (wowza logs report a more substantial transfer).

I think the problem is the sc-stream-bytes log field.

In my next tests i will try with the sc-byes field.

what is the difference between these sc-stream-bytes and sc-bytes?

Kind Regards,

Zaterio

sc-bytes includes bandwidth overhead from creating the netconnection that is not included in sc-stream-bytes.

that was useful, thanks.

by the way, my system works well and the Stats informed by wowza are the same as those reported by the kernel.
