      What Stream Health Check Does<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      When enabled, the system will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Monitor the stream availability<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Perform checks at regular intervals<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Detect source interruptions<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Help you quickly identify streaming issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        This helps ensure continuous stream delivery to viewers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Once Stream Health Check<\/strong> is enabled, you will see three tabs that help you configure and monitor your stream health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Settings \u2699\ufe0f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The Settings<\/strong> tab allows you to configure monitoring triggers and email alerts for stream status changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        With this option, you can receive automatic notifications if the stream goes down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Trigger Configuration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Clients can configure email triggers<\/strong> that send notifications when the stream status changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        You can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Enable email alerts<\/strong> for stream status goes down<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Define the time duration (in minutes)<\/strong> before an alert is triggered when the stream is down<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Configure up to three triggers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          2. Uptime Change \ud83d\udcc8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          The Uptime Change<\/strong> tab provides detailed information about the stream\u2019s status changes<\/strong>, including when the stream goes online (Up)<\/strong> or offline (Down)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          This section helps clients monitor the stability of their live stream by displaying the exact time periods during which the stream was up or down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Information Available<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          In this tab, you can view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Stream status changes<\/strong> (Up \/ Down)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Timestamp of each status change<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Duration of uptime or downtime<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Historical records of stream availability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            3. Monitoring History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            The system checks the stream status at regular intervals<\/strong> and records the real-time status<\/strong> (up or down) at each interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Clients can review this history to see how the stream performed over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Helps in identifying intermittent issues or patterns of instability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

              Note:<\/strong> To enable monitoring for a stream, clients must purchase the required number of Stream Health Checks<\/strong>. Each Health Check costs $1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
