Hi Guys

I want to monitor my streams to ensure they are working. I have seen you can monitor RTMP streams via RTMP dump and stream pulse. Does anyone know of a solution for HLS streaming? Ideally it would be nice to get some stats about the stream quality but just to ensure the stream is actually working would be a good place to start.

Thank you for your help in advance!

There is nothing built-in to Wowza, but you can easily fetch chunks over http and might devise something external to keep checking a stream over http.

You can download automatically the ts from M3U (for example [https://github.com/osklil/hls-fetch](https://github.com/osklil/hls-fetch)), then pipe to mediainfo and grep bitrate, duration width, heigth, etc
