This tool is an interactive commandline Configuration Manager, it has been created to help in keeping the Wowza configuration aligned across multiple servers.
This tool uses a shell-like syntax to list and compare configuration information about vhosts, applications, smil files, transcoding templates, mediacache items and other parameters.
Basic actions are implemented:
action <restart|stop|start> <server|vhost|application>
Basic status information is returned by the status command and mediacache command:
status incomingstreams <server_name> [app_name_filter]
status streamtargets <server_name> [app_name_filter]
mediacache ls [all|server_name]
Wowzator has no database, it just lazy-fetches configuration information through the Wowza REST APIs to show and compare configuration info.

Please clone the 'release' branch and keep it updated!
pip install -r requirements.txt
Create config.json file in the same dir of wowzator executable
Example:
{
"secure_mode": "true",
"servers": [
{
"name": "or01",
"address": "10.0.0.99",
"user": "admin",
"pw": "mysecret",
"auth": "digest"
},
{
[details of other server(s)...]
}
]
}
Setting "secure_mode" to "false" enables redirection to file and piping of output (eg. "ls all/apps > application_list.txt" or "ls all/apps | grep myapp").
Note about the "auth" configuration parameter: Wowza after 4.8.5 uses basic authentication while Wowza 4.8.5 and earlier uses digest!!
