On this page, you can check the following information. You can also click Quick Links in the upper right corner to read the documentation.

Today
- Downstream Traffic: total downstream traffic used by all streaming domain names on the current day
- Downstream Peak Bandwidth: peak value of the downstream bandwidth used by all streaming domain names on the current day
You can check the recent livestreaming resource usage trend.
- Downstream Traffic: total downstream traffic used by all streaming domain names in a specific period
- Downstream Bandwidth: total downstream bandwidth used by all streaming domain names in a specific period
- Upstream Bandwidth: total upstream bandwidth used by the streaming device of a selected streaming domain name in a specific period
NOTE:

You can point to the chart to view the specific value or scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in or out on the X-axis within a time range.
Billing Mode displays the current CDN billing mode. You can click Change to change the CDN billing mode. You can also click Buy Package to purchase a package at a lower price.

Functions

You can configure or use the functions in the navigation pane of the Live console.

**Table 1** Functions of the console
Category	Function	Description
Domains	Adding Domain Names	You can add and manage your own acceleration domain names and view the CNAME records of the domain names.
Domains	HTTPS Certificates	If the streaming URL of Media Live needs to start with https://, configure an HTTPS certificate by referring to HTTPS Certificates.
Channels	Creating a Channel	You can create a channel before the media livestreaming starts. The media file input type can be: FLV_PULL: Stream push is not required. The streaming URL provided by the user is directly obtained and used by Media Live to push streams to the origin server. The streaming URL supports only HTTP. RTMP_PUSH: An RTMP ingest domain name needs to be configured for stream push. HLS_PULL: Stream push is not required. The streaming URL provided by the user is directly obtained and used by Media Live to push streams to the origin server. If Input Type is set to HLS_PULL, the media URLs provided users have the following constraints: A streaming URL supports only HTTP and HTTPS. Encrypted streams are not supported. Audio-only streams are not supported. Subtitling is not supported. SRT_PULL: Stream push is not required. The streaming URL provided by the user is directly obtained and used by Media Live to push streams to the origin server. SRT_PUSH: An SRT ingest domain name needs to be configured for stream push. To ensure reliability, channels of the SRT_PUSH input type must be able to: Support primary and standby URLs. The encoder needs to push streams to both the primary and standby URLs. Resume stream push when the stream push by the encoder is interrupted. The recommended interval for resuming stream push is shorter than the duration of a segment.
Live Transcoding	Creating a Transcoding Template	You can configure a transcoding template for live videos to transcode live streams into video streams with different resolutions and bitrates to meet a broad range of requirements.
Service Monitoring	Service Monitoring	You can view the monitoring information about a streaming domain name, including the downstream bandwidth/traffic, all status codes returned in request responses, number of concurrent downstream requests, and input quality.
Cloud Resource Authorization	Cloud Resource Authorization	If DRM encryption needs to be enabled for a channel and Interconnection Mode is set to FunctionGraph proxy access, you need to enable FunctionGraph agency in advance. After the authorization is successful, Media Live can query functions, workflows, and triggers, and call functions.
Tools	Obtaining a Catch-Up TV/Time-Shifted Viewing URL	You can obtain the catch-up TV/time-shifted viewing URL of a channel.
