I found rtmpdump, a linux program that will dump a flash stream to a file. It is working very nicely with my stream. I have it set to terminate after 10 seconds. It returns three exit codes 0,1, and 2. Now I just need a shell script that returns OK, CRITICAL, and WARNING for those exit values, respectively.

How can I monitor a Flash Media Stream just to know that it is up and &nbsp;streaming? In other words what methodology and plugins to use? I know there is a commercial software for this and it is very expensive, but I just need to know if it is up or not. I control the client Flash Streamer, called Flash Media Live encoder, but not the server. Of course, FMLE resides on a Windows Machine.<br />

And I already have a functional Nagios Installation on my Linux box.

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

IT Administration is the processes and best practices for programming and development, and incorporates methodologies for managing activities and projects. Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, extreme programming and various types of agile methodology. The life-cycle "model" is a more general term for a category of methodologies, and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization.

IT Administration

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
