Good afternoon!

I have a question. I need to get information of online users pre stream. Of course I saw this thing -\> http://[wowza-ip-address]:8086/connectioncounts

It’s good xml variant but I don’t need to get ALL xml data. Can post variables in this query like this http://[wowza-ip-address]:8086/connectioncounts?[application]&[stream] For example. If on wowza will be a lot of streams, this xml file will be very big and get all this file is not true way! Could you help me? Thank you.

Hi livesreamingforall,

Currently, you can append ?flat to the connectioncounts link (http://[wowza-ip-address]:8086/connectioncounts?flat) and you would get a much simplified version, listing each stream on its own line. You can extend this [HTTP Provider module](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-connection-counts-for-server-applications-application-instances-and-streams-with-an-http-provider), if you wish, through the Wowza IDE.

Thank you. I read about append ?flat. But I don’t need simplified version, i need easiest version (little size and quick). To get specific stream information.

Ok, will be view on wowza ide try to extend this http provider.
