CloudFront Live Streaming - Active Viewers

0

A customer is using MediaLive / MediaPackage for live streaming integrated with CloudFront. Is there any way to monitor how many clients are watching the livestream? Currently customer is using CloudFront monitoring metrics and they can obtain number of requests made to CloudFront. However, it does not give any information about the sessions. How many new clients watching, how many of them had left etc.. Is there any monitoring metric or API that customer can get this information including session data? Thanks.

best way to capture actual viewer number would be capturing player event.
in order to do so, customer should add a plug-in to the streaming player which sends data to Kinesis Data Firehose. (or any other implementation)
There is a solution + workshop https://github.com/awslabs/aws-streaming-media-analytics
