RTMON user event types

Programing your application servers

You will need to program your application servers to process the user event types and user attributes that your server applications need. The user attributes (described in RTMON user attributes) provide details about all of the event types that your server might use.

Event types that can be sent to servers

The following table describes all the RTMON event types that the appliance can send to application servers. Whether a specific application server receives all user event types depends on how the NetCache administrator has configured RTMON on the appliance. The NetCache administrator specifies, by logical application server group, the RTMON event types that will be sent to servers in that group.

User event type	Description
connect	The client has established the connection and started playing the stream.
disconnect	The client stopped playing the stream and closed the connection.
dropped-events	When the maximum buffer limit is reached, currently connected clients log a "buffer full" message and drop all subsequent events except the Disconnect event.
pause	The client paused the stream while it was being played.
play	The client is in the process of playing the stream.
set-bitrate	The client requests a change in bit rate.
