Amazon IVS now offers developers the ability to monitor the health of live streams with multiple hosts. Hosts are connected to each other using the stage resource, which allows them to exchange audio and video with each other in real time. This release gives developers building with Amazon IVS the tools needed to better understand what is happening with stage resources and for any participant.
As part of this update, Amazon IVS has added new APIs and Amazon EventBridge events to give developers insight into the health and lifecycle of their stage resources. This new functionality can be used to diagnose and troubleshoot issues with sessions as they happen or after the sessions have ended. The Amazon IVS console has also been updated to include a health dashboard to enable developers to see both current and past sessions, and details about each participant to help understand how each participant experienced their session.
