[. . . ] Field names in the log file are in English. Some content within the log file, however, may be in another language, depending on the filename and the operating system. For example, in the Access. log file, the columns x-sname and x-suri-stem show the name of the stream. If the name of the recorded stream is in a language other than English, the stream's name will be written in the log file in that language, even if the server is running on an English-language operating system. Contained tags Time, Access, Diagnostic, Application containers See also Logger. xml file XML configuration files 107 Mask A three-digit octal value used by the Linux umask (user permissions mask) command to set a file creation mask. The user must enter the mask in a three-digit octal format. The default setting for this tag is 017 in octal. Description This tag is applicable for Flash Media Server running Linux systems only. This tag controls who has read/write access to shared object and stream files in the server. All Flash Media Server object files, such as stream files or shared object files, are created on the server side with permission 0666. This key is used by umask to set the file creation mask. By default, the creation mask is set to 017 in octal. Therefore, all the Flash Media Server object files are created with permission 0666 & ~017 = 0660 = rw-rw----. The owner and the users who belong to the same group as the owner will get read/write permission to the files. If the mask is set to 022, the file created will have permission 0666 & ~022 = 0644 = rw-r--r--. Master Container tag. Description The tags nested within the Master container configure the resource limits for the master server. Contained tags CoreGC, CoreExitDelay MaxAge Located in the LargeMemPool, MessageCache, SegmentsPool, and SmallMemPool containers. Description This tag defines the maximum reuse count before the cache unit is freed. The default count is 1, 000, 000. MaxCacheSize Located in the LargeMemPool, MessageCache, SegmentsPool, and SmallMemPool containers. 108 Configuration Files Description This tag defines the maximum size of the cache in megabytes. The default is 100 MB. See also MaxCacheUnits MaxCacheUnits Located in the LargeMemPool, MessageCache, SegmentsPool, and SmallMemPool containers. Description This tag defines the maximum number of free units in the cache. Keep in mind that the number of free units may be less than maximum if the value of the MaxCacheSize limit is reached. The default is 4096 units. See also MaxCacheSize MaxConnectionQueueSize Located in the HTTP and RTMP (Connector) containers. Description This tag specifies the maximum number of connection requests that can be pending. Connection requests will be rejected if this limit is exceeded. The default number of pending requests is 1000. To use the default, specify -1. MaxConnectionThreads Located in the RTMP (Connector) container. Description This tag specifies the maximum number of threads used to process connection requests. To use the default, specify 0. See also MinConnectionThreads XML configuration files 109 MaxIOThreads Located in the ACCP, Admin, Core, ECCP, Edge, HTTP, and RTMP (Connector) containers. Description This tag specifies the maximum number of threads that can be created for I/O processing. Use the following information to configure all I/O and connection threads processing: A value of 0 allocates the default number of threads (10). [. . . ] Procedures to be aware of include writing to the hard disk without checking the quantity of data being written, procedures that can be infinitely looped, and so on. Confirm the location of the client SWF Flash Media Server Security Send sensitive data via HTTPS If you need to send sensitive data such as credit card information, you can use HTTPS to communicate simultaneously between your Flash client application and a separate application server that processes the data. To do this, use the ActionScript getURL command. (For more information, see the ActionScript 2. 0 Language Reference. ) About privacy The technology in Flash Media Server enables the capture of client audio and video streams. [. . . ]
