Flussonic

I want to healthcheck streams that are authorised with Stalker middleware

I have configured Stalker and Flussonic to protect my streams and it works great. Now I want to configure per-stream monitoring and it cannot check streams because they are protected. How should I do it?

Hi,

I think the easiest way is configure a special token for the monitoring system.
Flussonic authorization backend configuration allows to configure it in two lines:

auth_backend myauth {
 allow token MONITORING; 
 backend http://stalker_url;
}

Now possible to access streams with MONITORING token: http://flussonic-ip/bbc/index.m3u8?token=MONITORING and streams still protected!

More details here: https://flussonic.com/doc/auth/configurator

I’ve modifed my check_channels.sh to your a special token and now it works great, the script checks streams status in Flussonic and I can see it via Ministra admin panel.

How I can attach file here?
