HTTP Overview

Creating a HTTP broadcast

To create a HTTP broadcast, right click Bandwidth Monitor and navigate to 'Broadcasts'



From this broadcast manager, you may create, delete and modify broadcasts on your system. In addition, you may design the elements which could appear in your broadcasts.

Ensure that the 'Enable Broadcasts' option is enabled, and click 'New' to begin adding a new broadcast. Select HTTP from the types drop-down menu, and choose a port range to run the broadcast on.
Note: Bandwidth Monitor will open a maximum of 16 ports on all broadcasts combined.

Controlling broadcasts

You may limit each broadcast to a fixed number of clients by using the option labelled 'Limit broadcasts to'.

To ban an IP address or range of IP addresses from accessing your broadcasts, use the 'Deny Hosts' option on the broadcasts manager. Entries may be given as either IP addresses or resolved host names. Use the wildcard operator * to specify ranges of entries.

Graphs and other elements



You can specify graphs and other elements to be made available to your broadcast web pages. Use the 'Repositary' tag to define elements for broadcast usage. Selecting any element in the list will provide source code at the bottom of the page; this source code can be pasted directly into your favourite HTML editor.
Additional: To use elements from your theme, use the syntax <img src="@Theme:Element Name@">


You may choose a degree of image compression strength in the 'HTTP' tab of the broadcast manager.
