Dear Charlie (and everyone else 🙂 )

I’m a newbie with Wowza Media Server, and I need to do some monitoring for the server performances. From what I’ve read and understood in this forum, I tried to use http://[wowza-ip-address]:8086/connectioncounts to get the number of connections to the server. But I got the following response in the browser:

“This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.”

Can you tell me what does it mean? 😕

Thank you.

OK, thanks Richard for answer…

anyway, is it possible for us to modify the HTTPProvider and/or HTTPConnectionCountsXML class?

where can the source code be founded? thanks

Hello there…

I wanna ask about the “connectioncounts” request to the HTTProvider. I still wondering how exactly the calculation works?

for examples:

```auto
<WowzaMediaServer>
  <ConnectionsCurrent>2</ConnectionsCurrent>
  <ConnectionsTotal>64</ConnectionsTotal>
  <ConnectionsTotalAccepted>64</ConnectionsTotalAccepted>
  <ConnectionsTotalRejected>0</ConnectionsTotalRejected>
  <MessagesInBytesRate>14.0</MessagesInBytesRate>
  <MessagesOutBytesRate>841.0</MessagesOutBytesRate>
  &#8722; <VHost>
     <Name>_defaultVHost_</Name>
     <TimeRunning>39147.57</TimeRunning>
     <ConnectionsLimit>0</ConnectionsLimit>
     <ConnectionsCurrent>2</ConnectionsCurrent>
     <ConnectionsTotal>64</ConnectionsTotal>
     <ConnectionsTotalAccepted>64</ConnectionsTotalAccepted>
     <ConnectionsTotalRejected>0</ConnectionsTotalRejected>
     <MessagesInBytesRate>14.0</MessagesInBytesRate>
     <MessagesOutBytesRate>841.0</MessagesOutBytesRate>
    &#8722; <Application>
       <Name>securestreaming</Name>
       <Status>loaded</Status>
       <TimeRunning>4613.597</TimeRunning>
       <ConnectionsCurrent>2</ConnectionsCurrent>
       <ConnectionsTotal>12</ConnectionsTotal>
       <ConnectionsTotalAccepted>12</ConnectionsTotalAccepted>
       <ConnectionsTotalRejected>0</ConnectionsTotalRejected>
       <MessagesInBytesRate>14.0</MessagesInBytesRate>
       <MessagesOutBytesRate>841.0</MessagesOutBytesRate>

```

1. the “total connection” in the , what exactly does it count? is it based on daily accesses? what does the total means? is there any time limit?

2. between the and the what is the different of ConnectionTotalAccepted? why it’s different?

3. I tried to use the loadBalancingTool before and the number of the rejected connection was increasing, why/how that could be happen? because in the loadBalanceTool test, the status was all connected. I thought the loadBalancingTool module is used to test the server connection for the media access.

OK, that’s for now… waiting for your help there. 😉

Thank you

How would I make a .php page with this code?. I just want a simple stats page. I noticed there is no \<php? in the code and I don’t know.

Just looking for code I can paste into a file and name it stats.php and it will get stats from Wowza media server 2.2

Thanks for any help.

I have tried that.

I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /var/www/stats.php on line 14

Then I took out the bottom } and tried again and I get this:

[PHP]\<?php

$xml = simplexml\_load\_file(“wowzaip:8086/connectioncounts”);

//var\_dump($xml);

foreach ($xml-\>Application as $item) {

$tmp = (string) $item-\>Name;

echo $tmp."  
";

foreach ($item-\>ApplicationInstance as $item2) {

$roomName = (string) $item2-\>Name;

$Connections = (string) $item2-\>ConnectionsCurrent;

echo $roomName.": “.$Connections.”  
";

}

}

?\>[/PHP]

OK I understand.

I will have a look on there.

I don’t understand why Wowza doesn’t come with a web panel for showing stats in a simple manner. For example in FMS you can see everything running in detail from the admin panel without all this XML rubbish in the browser.

I did lots of searches on Google,But I can’t find any web panels for Wowza.

I think it’s a really good Media Server, it’s got better than FMS, but still lacks a decent admin panel. ☹
