[Red5] Health check for red5?

[Chris Putnam]

Hey Luke, we're using Red5 solely for inbound recording traffic for  
our video uploading/recording/messaging system that launched at the  
end of May this year.

You can go to http://facebook.com/video/ to install the app if you  
haven't already, after which you can go record a video on the upload  
page or send a private message to another user and attach a video.

The webapp we wrote for this purpose is extremely simple and just  
does some basic authentication and POSTs the completed FLV file to a  
webserver that then processes it, adds metadata, generates  
thumbnails, etc.

We also have written a C++ version of flvtool2 which is over 50x as  
fast as the Ruby flvtool2. We'll be open sourcing that very soon.

I'll look into JMX, thanks. I'd love to hear more about improving  
stability as we do have issues with that from time to time. I see  
several hosts flapping a day right now and we end up needing to kill  
-9 the process and start it all over. I can provide some more data on  
that in a separate thread if you want to help :)
