Check live event stream health in the RMS Console

  • Updated

Read stream health details for a running live event in the RMS Console. This page explains event states and shows how to use browser developer tools to access the getStatus response and interpret the health fields.

In this article:

 

Event states

A live event moves through the following states:

State Meaning
Stopped The event exists but consumes no resources. The ingest endpoint is not active.
Starting RMS allocates resources and prepares the ingest endpoint. The encoder cannot connect yet.
Running The ingest endpoint is active, and the encoder can connect. Running does not confirm that the encoder is connected or that a healthy stream is being received - use the healthDescriptions to verify.
Stopping RMS releases resources and finalizes the recording.

 

Check status in the RMS Console

The RMS Console displays the event state on the live event details page. To inspect health details, use your browser's developer tools to read the getStatus response directly:

  1. Go to RMS Console > Live Events.

  2. Open the Live Event Details page with the event in Running status.

  3. Open DevTools - press F12, or right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect.

  4. Click the Network tab and wait for a getStatus?apiversion=... request to appear. Click it.

  5. Click the Payload tab.

  6. Expand value > 0 > healthDescriptions to view the health fields.

The response includes the current state and a healthDescriptions object with stream health metrics. For the full response schema and parameter reference, see Live events - Get status.

 

Read health details

The healthDescriptions object contains the following fields:

Field What it indicates
isSourceOnline  true when the encoder is connected, and the source feed is reachable. false when no source is detected.
sourceConnectionsCount  The number of active encoder connections. A value of 0 means the encoder is not pushing to the ingest endpoint.
videoBitrate  The incoming video bitrate. A value greater than 0 confirms video data is arriving.
videoFps  The incoming frames per second. A value greater than 0 confirms the source is producing frames.

The healthDescriptions response contains additional fields.

A healthy running event reports isSourceOnline: true with videoBitrate and videoFps greater than 0. If any field indicates a problem, see Troubleshooting live events.
