About the Clients panel

The Clients panel displays detailed information about all of the clients connected to an application, including server-generated Client ID, connection protocol, bytes in and out, connection time, messages in and out, and dropped messages.

The Clients panel shows information about clients connected to the selected application instance.

The Clients panel displays the following information:

Client ID indicates the internal ID of the client; this represents a server-generated number that Flash Media Server uses to identify each client.

Protocol indicates the connection protocol that the client uses, such as RTMP.

Bytes In and Bytes Out indicates the average bytes per second being sent to and from the server. The management console calculates this ratio by dividing the total number of bytes received in the most recent 15 seconds and dividing that value by 15. When the panel first appears, these figures appear as "pending" because there is only one data point to start with; figures appear after the panel is open for 15 seconds.

Connection Time indicates the date and time the client connected.

Messages In and Messages Out indicates the number of messages that are sent to or from the client; "messages in" reflect update requests sent from clients to the server, and "messages out" reflect notification of successful updates sent from the server to connected clients.

Drops indicates the number of messages that have dropped since the client connected. For live streams, audio and video, messages may be dropped; for recorded streams, only video messages are dropped. Command messages are never dropped.

This panel lets you perform the following tasks.
