We have a few methods for monitoring incoming streams.

**1)** This article shows how to use HTTP Providers to gather the information you are looking for.

**2)** You can use SNMP for server monitoring, however you may need to create a custom module to get detailed information you need.

**3)** You can also use our REST API for monitoring an individual stream on an individual application.

```auto
curl --digest -u "username:password" http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live/instances/_definst_/incomingstreams/myStream

```
