Hi,

While going through the forum, i found few properties to be set in config files, which provide useful streaming related debug info in the logs. I am listing few examples:

> [@RTMP output packet time debugging & ingestion packet timecode debugging](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/37779):
>
> Hi, Wowza Media Server 3.0.5 build1220 (16 February 2012) introduces: RTMP output packet time debugging (Streams/Property debugOutgoingRTMPPacketTimes) ingestion packet timecode debugging (Streams/Property debugIncomingPacketTimes) Can You explain how to utilize this debugging features ?

> **[Debug encoder multi-bitrate keyframe alignment](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-debug-encoder-multi-bitrate-keyframe-alignment)**
>
> Debug encoder multi-bitrate keyframe alignment with Wowza Streaming Engine.

But these useful properties are not captured in the wowza configuration reference guide: [https://www.wowza.com/resources/WowzaStreamingEngine\_ConfigurationReference.pdf](https://www.wowza.com/resources/WowzaStreamingEngine_ConfigurationReference.pdf)

Is there a list of such debug properties (related to streams) along with their usage documented somewhere?

Thank you,

Rakshith

Hello there and welcome to the wowza support forum.

I would suggest referring to the [Wowza Server-Side API](https://www.wowza.com/resources/WowzaStreamingEngine_ServerSideAPI.pdf) for this information.
