    Analytics ingest stability

    We have added fresh metrics to the analytics page in the portal, a new tab with information regarding stability of the ingested media. The following set of metrics is now available for viewing:

    Restarts

    Total times ingest has started over the selected time period. This includes controlled restarts.

    Restarts cause buffering for the end users, so for a stream running 24/7 this number should be as low as possible.

    Video Key frame interval

    We recommend a value of one or two seconds for faster channel switching and startup time, lower value is preferred. Here you can check that you are ingesting with an optimal key frame interval.

    Average packet arrival delta

    How often we receive a packet containing media from your sender.

    Ideal value for video is 1000/frame rate, which gives a delta of 20ms for 50 fps and 33.3ms for 30 fps. This value should be stable and pretty close to the ideal value, a value that is much higher than the ideal value or varies a lot suggests there may be problems with the network.

    Highest packet arrival delta

    This value will vary a little bit more. Any peaks or consistently high values above the ideal indicate networking issues or host machine congestion.
