Hi there folks. Just a quick question that has come up at my workplace. We are running some streaming services and have got a new proper server which is going into the main machine room as opposed to the old one which is sat in our building. One question that has been put forward is how to go about monitoring the streaming services to ensure that they are functional. We have tools available which can make sure that the machine is still up but so far we're only at the ideas stage with regards to monitoring the actual services. My question is simple. Is there anyone out there who is using, or has implemented a successful monitoring system for Windows Media Server and/or Real Server? If so, then how did you go about it? Cheers.

I captured the data exchange between a client and a Windows Media Server and wrote a little program to play the exchange back. The server is happy with it and streams the file. Connected Read 128 Read 80 Read 80 Read 152 Read 56 Read 833 Read 48 64 72 538 831 831 833 831 833 833 831 831 833 833 833 831 ... ... ... ... ... The input to the monitor program is a hex file built from tcpdump output. The file consists of packets to send to the server delimited with '#'s indicating a response from the server is expected. Its very low tech but it works. John Capo
