There are a million ways to do this, but you’ll have to create the solution yourself. I posted a shell script at the bottom of this thread that can do it: [How to automatically check if the Wowza service is up and running and streaming?](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/34536) There is also this module you could adapt to your needs: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-imediastreamactionnotify2-to-monitor-live-streams-modulestreamwatchdog](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-imediastreamactionnotify2-to-monitor-live-streams-modulestreamwatchdog) ---
