Setting Up Streaming Capacity:
You use Quick Time Streaming Server Administration to limit the number of connections and to set the maximum throughput allotted for streaming services. If you use your server for other services in addition to streaming, you may want to control how much of your server's capacity is dedicated to streaming.
Monitoring Server Activity:
You can track peak periods of usage by monitoring server activity. To view server activity, choose Show Activity Monitor from the Server menu. You can change the range of each histogram by clicking the low and high range buttons.
Logging and Viewing Access History:
Access history lets you see how many times each media file has been streamed since a particular date and time. To log access history, the Log Access checkbox in the QuickTime Streaming Server Settings panel must be checked. (It is checked by default.) To view Access History, choose Show Access History from the Server menu.
If you click the Clear button in the Access History window, information in the access log is copied to another file, named by date. If you don't clear the log, then access information older than one week is cleared automatically. If you want to delete the cleared access information, drag the dated file to the Trash.
If you want more details about what's being accessed, by whom, and when, you can view the file located at /Local/Library/QuickTimeStreaming/QuickTimeStreamingAccess.log. You may need to write a utility to process the file so you can view a digest of the most important information for your site. For example, you can write a script (using Perl, cshell, or a similar scripting tool) to tally the number of times users from a particular domain connected to the streaming server during a specific time period.
