Heya,
For the last several months I've been developing a log analysis package
targeted at streaming server (primarily icecast/icecast2/quicktime streaming
server) to provide very fine-grained per mountpoint statistics, both textual and
graphical. All is well and good, except that the composite nature of the logging
from icecast prevents me from being able to correct the statistics to account
from pre-established connections (opened before the log period currently being
analyzed). On busy mountpoints, this can throw the statistics off by as much as
150 connections (!). I've gone round and round with the problem and I've
come to the conclusion that the only way to fix this is to alter the logging
format coming from icecast. Right now, icecast 1.x logs every sign on/sign off
and states how many users are connected total. I'd like to put how many of
the total are on the mountpoint the sign on/off occurred on, i.e.:
original:
[120549:Source Thread] Kicking client 207579 [4.37.66.133] [Client signed off]
[listener], connected for 27 minutes and 57 seconds, 11738317 bytes transfered.
555 clients connected
modified:
[120549:Source Thread] Kicking client 207579 from mountpoint-name [4.37.66.133]
[Client signed off] [listener], connected for 27 minutes and 57 seconds,
11738317 bytes transfered. 312 / 555 clients connected (mountpoint/total)
I can do the patching, that's not my concern. I'm wondering if the patch
would be accepted and merged into the icecast tree? This stats package is meant
to be GPL'd and used to help all the streaming servers out there, but my
audience becomes very limited if I require patching of icecast and greatly ups
my burden as I would have to maintain the patch as icecast development proceeds.
Any objections to making these changes?
Blake
