**Table 1** Functions of the console
Category	Function	Description
Streaming	Streaming	You can manage ongoing streams and historical streams, such as disabling and resuming livestreams. This function is available only in AP-Singapore and CN North-Beijing4.
Domains	Domain Name Configuration	You can add and manage your own domain names, configure CNAME records, referer validation, URL validation, and access control lists (ACLs) for domain names, and configure snapshot and transcoding templates.
Stream Push Configuration	Transcoding	You can transcode livestreams into video streams with different resolutions and bitrates to meet a broad range of requirements.
	Recording	You can configure recording templates, record livestreams based on the templates, and store the recordings in OBS. This function is unavailable in AP-Bangkok.
	Snapshot Capturing	You can configure snapshot templates, capture snapshots from livestreams based on the templates, and store the snapshots in OBS. In AP-Bangkok, submit a service ticket for review after configuring a template. The configuration takes effect only after it is approved.
	Stream Status Notifications	You can configure callback URLs so that you can be notified of stream status in real time. In AP-Bangkok, submit a service ticket for review after configuring a template. The configuration takes effect only after it is approved.
	Stream Authentication	You can configure URL validation and ACLs to identify and filter out malicious visitors.
Playback Configuration	Stream Latency Configuration	You can configure the latency for streaming using RTMP and HTTP-FLV.
	Origin Pull Settings	You can pull live content from your own origin server to Huawei Cloud Live origin server for accelerated delivery.
	Configuration Method	You can enable HTTPS secure acceleration for streaming domain names to ensure that your live content is encrypted during transmission.
	Access Control	You can configure referer validation, URL validation, and ACLs to identify and filter out malicious visitors.
Usage Statistics	Usage Statistics	You can view the downstream bandwidth/traffic statistics of all streaming domain names, and the total transcoding duration, maximum number of concurrent recording streams, and number of snapshots of all ingest domain names.
Service Monitoring	Service Monitoring	You can view the downstream bandwidth/traffic, playback profile, status codes returned in the request response of a streaming domain name, and the number of online viewers of the corresponding livestream. You can also view monitoring information such as the upstream bandwidth/traffic, total number of stream push channels, historical stream push details, and stream push frame rate/bitrate of an ingest domain name.
Logs	Offline Log Download	You can view logs about requests to a streaming domain name and query and download log files over the past 90 days.
Tools	Signed URL Generation Tool	You can quickly generate signed URLs for streaming and ingest domain names.
