I need to be able to get statistics regarding the incoming and outgoing SRT streams in my Wowza Streaming Engine. Specifically I need to get details on received packets, sent packets, lost packets & re transmitted packets. Are these stats accessible by Wowza for specific SRT streams and can I access this data programmatically using the API? ---

We do not have this at the moment for SRT, but we are working on improving our data insights capabilities. I can add this as a request with that team. ---

Hi, I have just found in Wowza Streaming Engine 4.8.5 that this information can be stored in the log file by configuring srtTimesToPrintStats to -1. (I am shocked that you were unable to point me to this previously!) Anyway, to re-ask my original question is this information only available in the log or can I access this programmatically using the API or any other method? ---

Hi sorry for necroposting but I got to same question and google bring me here I managed to get srt statistics with java api (we expose them in json format on http endpoint with HTTProvider2Base) to get statistics from server we do - iterate over vhosts with VHostSingleton.getVHostNames(), VHostSingleton.getInstance(vHostName) - iterate over vhost.applicationNames - then over app.appInstanceNames - then we get val appInstance = app.getAppInstance(appInstanceName) - with taht we get mediacaster items val items = appInstance.mediaCasterStreams.mediaCasterStreamItems - then we iterate over items checking if mediaCaster is of type LiveMediaSRTReceiver - if yes you can receive stats with caster.srtNativeStats.toJSON() for example sorry for bad english, maybe this explanation can help somebody trying to monitor connection quality as we are ---

You can always create a proxy api to expose what you see in the logs. Like a custom rest api for your application. ---

My apologies @Martyn_Gilbert, I only shared what was shared with me by engineer when I asked. I can see why that would frustrate you and I’ll discuss with them today. Thanks to everyone else for updating this post. ---

> [@Martyn\_Gilbert](#): > > srtTimesToPrintStats I have found the property you referred to and I once again apologize, was not told and this area is out of my scope of knowledge unfortunately. I ask when I don’t know, but here is the doc that you referred to so others can find it for the logs: > **[Specify per-stream settings in .stream files](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-specify-per-stream-settings-in-stream-files)** > > Set up per-stream settings in .stream files for MPEG-TS encoders and IP cameras (RTSP/RTP streams), SHOUTcast/Icecast streams, native RTP encoders. ![Screen Shot 2021-11-10 at 9.33.56 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/wowza1/original/1X/f4f954711b162d1dcaf6395ef6b82830c57d2f94.png) how-to-specify-per-stream-settings-in-stream-files Asking about the API call now to see if we offer that option yet… ---

No REST API or JAVA API call for this @Martyn_Gilbert. I checked with the head of Engine team…
