We have Wowza 4.0.3.01 running on AWS AMI. With the number of applications growing, we are looking to log the amount of data each application uses on a monthly basis.

Can anyone recommend a low cost solution to perform this task?

Thanks in advance

Frank.

Log rows with x-event “destroy” have cumulative sc-bytes (server to client bytes) and x-duration, etc. for a session.

There is a way to [log directly to a database](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-log-to-a-mysql-database), but it can be problematic (fail), so it is better to parse the log files after. If you need access to files more quickly you can use the [TimeAndSizeRollingAppender](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-log-rolling-by-time-and-size)
