Windows
Media Services (WMS) Monitor is a shareware
ASP.Net application
that allows you to view the status of active publishing
points using a web interface. This is useful when you have
customers who "own" an individual publishing point stream and wish to
know how many people have been watching/listening. Additionally,
administrative buttons can be enabled in the registered version to allow publishing point
starting/stopping, accepting/denying new connections, disconnecting all
clients, and resetting peak and total counters.
A new feature added in v1.0 (registered version only) is the ability to graph publishing
point viewing statistics for various periods of time (past 7 days, 2 months, 12
months, all time.) This information is compiled from WMS log files residing
on the streaming server and requires the installation of Office Web Components and
Log Parser, both available for download from Microsoft's
site.
Shown on the status web page are current connection status, peak
connection counts, and total counts since the last counter
reset. A demo page can be viewed
here.
The application can be configured to show a list of all publishing
points from a dropdown list or to only show one publishing point by
specifying it in the URL (http://server/wmsmonitor?pp=xyz) or in the
web.config file (registered version only.)
The shareware version allows monitoring of the first five publishing
points. An unlimited number of publishing points can be
monitored after paying a $50 registration fee using the PayPal icon
below. Upon receipt of the payment you will be sent a new
compiled copy of the app with the five publishing point limit
removed. Limited support (such as installation help) may
also be provided.
