Greetings,

What would be the best way to get incoming stream information (name, bytes in, connections per protocol) via API?

Hi,

The built-in HttpProviders, [serverinfo and connectioncounts,](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-monitor-server-connections-load-and-application-statistics#built-inHTTPProviders) provides this information.

A source code example is [provided here.](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/77)
