RTMP Monitor REST API

[georgelemon]

the RTMP server should expose a REST API for monitoring stream status, including:

• List of active streams (stream name, publisher info, subscriber count)
• Stream health metrics (bitrate, latency, packet loss)
• Recent connection history (timestamps, IP addresses, connection duration)

So that external tools can query the RTMP server for real-time stream information
and health metrics.

An option to switch to WebSocket-based real-time updates could be added in the
future for more efficient monitoring.

Chatbot ideas:

• Active Streams Monitoring

  • List all active streams (stream name, publisher info, subscriber count)
  • View detailed stream health metrics (bitrate, latency, packet loss)
  • Access recent connection history (timestamps, IP addresses, connection duration)

• Stream Control Features

  • Cancel/terminate an active stream
  • Remove or block specific subscribers from a stream
  • Pause/resume streaming sessions
  • Force disconnect a publisher or subscriber

• Advanced Monitoring & Analytics

  • Real-time alerts for stream health issues (e.g., high latency, packet loss)
  • Historical analytics and trends for stream performance
  • Export stream statistics and logs (CSV, JSON)
  • Filter streams by publisher, stream name, or health status

• Security & Access Management

  • API authentication and authorization for monitoring/control endpoints
  • Audit logs for stream control actions

• Integration & Extensibility

  • WebSocket-based real-time updates (optional, for efficient monitoring)
  • Webhooks for stream events (start, stop, error)
  • Customizable notification triggers (email, Slack, etc.)

• User Interface Support

  • REST endpoints for dashboard integration
  • Stream preview thumbnails or snapshots

These features would make the RTMP Monitor REST API robust for both monitoring and managing live streams.
