Hi,

I’m getting below code and message when trying to get incoming stream status on this url

> “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/\_defaultServer\_/vhosts/\_defaultVHost\_/applications/live/instances/\_definst\_/incomingstreams/myStream/monitoring/current](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live/instances/_definst_/incomingstreams/myStream/monitoring/current)”

**{“success”:false,“wowzaServer”:“4.8.5”,“code”:“401”,“message”:“The request requires user authentication”}**

while all other methods like adding, connecting, updating stream working fine.

authentication method set to “digest”.

any idea how to resolve this issue?

If your auth method is set as `digest`, did you try passing credentials to match the digest auth ?
