Sorry for the long post. This attempts to answer the question of how to
monitor encoders using the RealServer Administration system.
You can monitor the following properties of encoders.
> > LiveConnections = null
> > LiveConnections.Index = 5
> > LiveConnections.Entry3 = null
> > LiveConnections.Entry3.IsEncoded = 1
> > LiveConnections.Entry3.FileName = null
> > LiveConnections.Entry3.LongName = null
> > LiveConnections.Entry3.Bandwidth = 211952
> > LiveConnections.Entry4 = null
> > LiveConnections.Entry4.FileName = null
> > LiveConnections.Entry4.Bandwidth = 336264
> > LiveConnections.Entry4.IsEncoded = 1
> > LiveConnections.Entry4.LongName = null
> > LiveConnections.Count = 2
Unfortunately, the FileName and LongName currently report as null always
because of a bug (they are implemented as buffers instead of strings).
You can still write a monitor plugin using the RealSystem G2 SDK but you
will just have to read these as buffers instead of strings. The
interface from the RealSystem Administrator should be fixed in a later
release.
Below is the server side javascript I use to report all encoders
currently connected. This should be an HTML file placed in the
RealServer Administrator directory. If you want to put this file in a
directory that is not authenticated, please look further below for
instructions on modifying the RealServer configuration file
(rmserver.cfg) to set this up.
----------- begin of encoders.html -------------------
function DoProps(a)
{
value = RMAGetPropertyValue(a);
if (value != null)
{
RMAOutput(a);
RMAOutput(" = ");
RMAOutput(value);
RMAOutput("<br>");
}
else
{
// Print the names/values even if they are null
RMAOutput(a);
RMAOutput(" = ");
RMAOutput(value);
RMAOutput("<br>");
var x = 0;
b = RMAGetNthProperty(a, x)
while (b)
{
DoProps(b);
x++;
b = RMAGetNthProperty(a, x);
}
}
}
//DoProps("client");
//DoProps("server");
DoProps("liveconnections");
</server>
------------- end of encoders.html ----------------
You can just place this script in the RealServer Administration files
directory if you want to test it out. You may want to create a new
server side include directory which would allow you to either use
different username/passwords or allow general access to this html file.
To do this, perform the following:
Add the following the the FSMounts section of the Configuration file
<List Name="RealSystem Monitor Files">
<Var MountPoint="/monitor/"/>
<Var ShortName="pn-admin"/>
<Var BaseMountPoint="/monitor/includes/"/>
<Var Realm="image.MonitorRealm"/>
</List>
<List Name="Real System SSI">
<Var ShortName="pn-xmltag"/>
<Var MountPoint="/monitor/includes/"/>
<Var BaseMountPoint="/monitor/files/"/>
<List Name="TagHandlers">
<Var h1="pn-includer"/>
<Var h2="pn-vsrctaghdlr"/>
</List>
</List>
<List Name="RealSystem Monitor">
<Var MountPoint="/monitor/files/"/>
<Var ShortName="pn-local"/>
<Var
BasePath="/usr/local/rmserver/RealAdministrator/JavaMonitor"/>
</List>
And add the following toe the HTTPDeliverable List
<Var Path_3="/monitor"/>
And add the following toe the AuthenticationRealms List (only if pages
are to be authenticated)
<List Name="SecureMonitor">
<Var Realm="image.AdminMonitor"/>
<List Name="BasicAuthenticator">
<Var PluginID="rn-auth-basic"/>
<Var DatabaseID="Monitor_Basic"/>
</List>
</List>
And add the following toe the Databases List (only if pages are to be
authenticated)
<List Name="Monitor_Basic">
<Var PluginID="rn-db-flatfile"/>
<Var Path="/usr/local/rmserver/mon_b_db"/>
</List>
Please note that the above code is provided 'as is' in hopes that it
helps get folks interested in doing this a head start. I may also put
up a mini example of this online. If I do it will be at
http://demos.real.com/tools and labeled as "RealServer Administrator
Customization".
Good Luck.
