Server Status

I’m doing an external controler. The truth is that everything works already, but I would need two pieces of information, in order to have a vision of the state of the server. Since it runs on another computer and collects the data via OSC and AMPC.

Is it possible to retrieve the basic information of the server status? Especially the total CPU consumption, with the caspar server.

Is it possible to collect in real time the console messaging log from another computer through AMPC or otherwise?

Thank you!

2.1 provides the log over a TCP socket:

  <controllers>
    <tcp>
      <port>5250</port>
      <protocol>AMCP</protocol>
    </tcp>
    <tcp>
      <port>3250</port>
      <protocol>LOG</protocol>
    </tcp>
  </controllers>

CPU and similar you will need to get with some other tool.

But not work in 2.3 LTS

Its my config:

  <osc>
    <predefined-clients>
      <predefined-client>
        <address>127.0.0.1</address>
        <port>5253</port>
      </predefined-client>

    </predefined-clients>
  </osc>
  <controllers>
    <tcp>
      <port>5250</port>
      <protocol>AMCP</protocol>
    </tcp>
	
	<tcp>
      <port>3250</port>
      <protocol>LOG</protocol>
    </tcp>
	
  </controllers>
</configuration>

The LOG protocol was removed in 2.2+

It is very easy to replicate it with a tiny wrapper application instead. Or to read the log file as it gets written

No LOG in TCP, no status hardware in central server in OSC or AMPC… :frowning:
