icecast statistic

rik · Posted: Mon May 23, 2005 5:13 pm Post subject: icecast statistic

hello

i have finally done work on the script which reads the icecast2 xml file, to get the current listeners connected to my icecast2 server and put it into cacti...

this script is far away from a productive plug-in but it fullfills my actual needs.

my aim to publish it here whould be to find someone how whould like to help give it some great possibilities like:

- shoutcast - icecast support
- variables to set the host - password outside of the script
- and a lot more

here is it i hope it helps somone.

Hi,

I did a small change:

- IP, User and Password can be given for each graph
- only Icecast2 support

You must have Cacti version 0.8.6c to import the templates but they are easy to create yourself.

Have fun - I hope one day someone will use it..... maybe.

Hi
I have a small problem with your script, the graph alway show that there is 1 listener on the icecast server, but there is no one on it.

hello websat

i had the same problem as well and then the connected listeners didn't reduce, that means i had about 200 listeners

(great... but not true)

i checked the stats file of my icecast server and i found out that it was the problem.

my solution was to update the icecast server to the new version and then it worked like hell

hope it help's you (i think it is a problem of the icecast server 2.0)

What Version of Icecast do you have?

Did you check the http://www.yourserver.net:8000/admin/stats.xsl if there the number of listeners are correct?

When you have listeners on your stream, does it count them always +1, like 3 listeners = 4 in the stats?

for me i just upgraded the icecast software it self, not the cacti.

hi, thanks for your help, i have icecast 2.3.1 and the numbers of listeners is correct on the stats.xsl when i have 0 listener the stats.xsl show 0 and when i have 1 the stats.xsl show 1.

sorry....

i didn't understood your question about the readme.

do you want an example? of what?

about the posts before... i think the counter also counts a connected admin to the webinterface as an listener... that's why there is a 1.

Hi!
Could you post any "installation howto"? I've tried, but it doesn't work

The php script works (in cli, it prints the clients), but cacti doesn't paint the graph :S
Thanks!
