Monitoring multicast - any ideas [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Anthony Montibello]

Hi Stanley,

have you considered using passive or active checks on the MS Media server?
depending on the Application you are monitoring, there may be a command line
interface, eventlog or some kind of debuging interface to get details out of
the applicatoin.
I am not familiar with media Server but hopefully this helps(maybe)?
