Hi!

How can I obtain the running time of a live stream? There is a function to obtain running time for the application, but nothing there for streams it seems.

Thanks!

Atmapuri

Hello Atmapuri,

Check out the [HTTP Providers](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-monitor-server-connections-load-and-application-statistics#built-inHTTPProviders) /connectioncounts and /serverinfo of which contain TimeRunning which might suffice your requirements.

Thanks,

Matt

Dear Matt. Thare are only counters for the whole application. And application could be running multiple streams on and off. For individual streams, there appears to be nothing there.

You could take a look at the following article:

[How to get detailed server info with an HTTPProvider](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-detailed-server-info-with-an-http-provider)

Then you could look into extending this functionality to obtain any/all information needed at the stream level.
