There is the STATS stream that provides real time data. You can also
use the event (or on 2.4.x the auth) subsystem to subscribe to events.
Really depends a bit in your needs.

Both will also include clients (listeners) that are in the flight,
meaning they are still connected. Those cannot be in the logs as the
log includes data such as the byte counts that are only known once the
client disconnected.

Which link?

There is a solution in all of them. But please keep in mind that there
is no "KH version". Icecast-kh is a fork by a different vendor. I
wouldn't recommend to go with it. But if you do you need to use his
support channels.


With best regards,
