Monitoring Channel Events

Use the Channel Monitor Events tool in NetShow Administrator to display channel events. The monitoring tool displays events as text messages. Events are categorized by type: channel, stream, and client. Channel events are displayed when a channel has been created, deleted, or changed. Stream events indicate the status of streams. Client events show when another computer has connected to or disconnected from the channel.

When you are monitoring channel events, you can:

• Connect to any NetShow server.
• Filter out messages according to their type.
• Change the color of messages based on message type.
• Set the maximum number of messages to display.
• Clear messages from the display.

The following table describes the messages that are displayed when you are monitoring channel events. The date and time of each event is displayed with the message.
