# Icecast monitoring with Netdata

Monitors the number of listeners for active sources.

## Requirements

-   icecast version >= 2.4.0

It produces the following charts:

1.  **Listeners** in listeners

-   source number

## Configuration

Edit the `python.d/icecast.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.

```bash
cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/icecast.conf
```

Needs only `url` to server's `/status-json.xsl`

Here is an example for remote server:

```yaml
remote:
  url      : 'http://1.2.3.4:8443/status-json.xsl'
```

Without configuration, module attempts to connect to `http://localhost:8443/status-json.xsl`
