You can monitor the connectioncounts HTTProvider:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-monitor-server-connections-load-and-application-statistics](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-monitor-server-connections-load-and-application-statistics)

You could take the Wowza SimpleVideoStreaming player and add output for bufferLength and FPS. There’s a line commented out that you can uncomment.

You can use JMX/JConsole, but you have to add MediaStream to the /conf/Server.xml /AdminInterface /Objeclist, and restart Wowza

You could use this Stream watchdog example:
