Icecast - Jul 2006 - Monitor traffic/bandwidth by mountpoint

I saw a request for this feature raised several years ago. Has this been
implemented yet?

If not, how are users monitoring traffic on port 8000, and even better
can you split it up by mountpoint? I want to know how much traffic our
icecast clients are using each month.

Thank you,
Shannon

realtime? nope, not that I would know

oh? you can tell that by parsing logfiles
there is a webalizer patched as a streaming version.
If you are only interested in traffic as in byte count a standard
webalizer or any other log analyzer will do too.

Hi Shannon,

I suggest using AWSTATS on the access logs of Icecast.  It isn't optimized
for it yet, but gives you good usage stats and information.

I've added a few stats to my branch work (kh7) to help in the assessment 
of bandwidth usage for server-wide/per-mountpoint. There's no graph or 
anything like that but those stats could be collected by something 
external if required.

you know of the massive vulnerabilities of awstats.pl?
Be aware of using awstats. Bette use strange tools like webalizer or
such things like that. Awstats.pl crashed many servers in the past.

i've found that simple arithmetics gives quite precise results
(code below was written on the fly, so don't carp about the coding)

<?php

function tag_remove($str) {
    return
preg_replace("@<[\/\!]*?[^<>]*?>@si","",$str);
}

function get_data(){
$web=fopen("http://192.168.123.123:8000/status_stat.xsl",r);
$content=str_replace("\t","",str_replace("><","",stream_get_contents($web)));
fclose($web);
$z=tag_remove($content);
$good_z=str_replace("/","\n",str_replace("\n","",str_replace("
","",($z))))
."\n";
$line_array = explode("\n", $good_z);
    foreach ($line_array as $id => $value) {
        if ($value) {
        $mount=substr($value,0,strpos($value,":"));
        $usr_count=substr($value,strrpos($value,":")+1);
       
$quality=substr($value,strpos($value,":")+1,-strlen($usr_count)-1);
        echo "mount=$mount...traffic = ".($usr_count *
$quality)."\n";
        }
    }
}

get_data();
?>

you can use firewall counters as well:
00010      9720       624042 count tcp from any to me dst-port 8000
00011      1335      1709227 count tcp from me 8000 to any
