Monitoring

[strarsis]

Is there a way for being informed when the stream goes down? YouTube doesn't seem to offer a notification when streaming source doesn't send data anymore. What would be best practice?

[ioppermann]

Restreamer provides an API where you can poll the current state of the incoming and outgoing stream. Have a look at https://datarhei.github.io/restreamer/docs/references-http-api.html

/v1/states and/or /v1/progresses would be useful in your case. If your Restreamer is running on http://12.34.56.78:8080/, then accessing the API would be http://12.34.56.78:8080/v1/states.

@ioppermann: It would be even more awesome if pub/sub could be added to the restreamer REST API so a little microservice (e.g. nodejs/monitoring script on some port like 9091) can be directly informed so an email / notification can be send?

[ioppermann]

Do you mean some kind of webhook that gets notified as soon as a state changes, e.g. by a JSON message?

[strarsis]

@ioppermann: Yes! This would be a better alternative to polling.

Per Ora sono riuscito a sviluppare questo oggi pomeriggio, in questi giorni cercherò di creare un bot telegram che invia notifiche sullo stato.

Translation of post from @advantix78 from Italian to English, using deepl.com:

For Now I was able to develop this afternoon, I' m going to try to create a telegram bot these days that sends status notifications. (deepl.com)

@advantix78 This is awesome! Is it possible that you share it?

[advantix78]

Vorrei Finire di configurarlo e poi magari cercherò di condividerlo in modo che tutti lo possano usare. Ovviamente il mio sistema funziona con appositi presupposti, quindi dovrei implementare con una premessa.

[strarsis]

Hm, streaming stats for Prometheus and event logs for Logstash would also be nice because I can feed that data into my existing ELK/Monitoring stack.

@ advantix78 Questo è fantastico! È possibile che tu lo condivida?

DashBoard API Restreamer

Si presuppone di avere un server dove è instalato NodeRed oppure da testare se installarlo sulla stessa macchina dove è installato Restreamer che sia esso Raspberry Cloud ecc.

I Nodi sono dei semplici http request code in method GET con URL del server restreamer con finale /API

/v1/ip /v1/statex ecc.. ecc..

Dopodichè un nodo change per spostare il msg.payload.xxxxxxxx a msg.payload

seguito da un nodo dashboard che puo essere un semplice testo o un grafico ecc ecc.

Mi risulta complesso al momento fare un tutorial in quanto ho creato questa dashboard appositamente per il mio caso. il mio server NodeREd si trova a casa su un Orange Pi 0.

Per chi mastica gia Node REd può prendere spunto da questa immagine

I am running the dev release. But i have a feeling the API doc (https://docs.datarhei.com/restreamer/api/api-and-developer) are out of sync with the version i am running at least. I get a lot of the following responses:

{
    "code": 404,
    "message": "Not Found",
    "details": [
        "Not Found"
    ]
}

I am looking for a way to get the state of all the streams.. So i can monitor them for issues.
