Viewing Existing Clusters
To view the Broadcaster Cluster list, make sure that the Clusters view is selected.
The main display (before selecting a specific cluster) includes the following data for each Broadcaster cluster:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The name of the cluster as configured in ZEN Master. |
Status | The connection status of the Broadcaster cluster. Possible values:
The 🔕 icon next to a Broadcaster cluster indicates that the Broadcaster cluster is muted, disabling notifications for error/recovery events. |
Broadcasters | The number of related Zixi Broadcasters and their connection status:
|
Management | The type of management. Possible types are:
|
Instance Type (for Managed clusters) | The Instance Type the cloud service account is using. |
Region | Cloud service region |
Tags | The Tags that are associated with this cluster. Tags are managed by Administrators via Configuration > Tags and assigned to non-Admin users via Roles. Click to edit. |
Priority | Objects can be labeled as Priority so that they can be quickly found in the list of objects. This is helpful if you want to easily find these objects by sorting and filtering the list.
|
The Broadcaster Cluster screen displays all existing clusters, and information about the clusters' status and configuration. Broadcaster Clusters that include configured Broadcasters in them are marked with a drop-down icon. Clicking the drop-down icon reveals the underlying Broadcasters.
When one of the clusters is selected, the details of that cluster, divided into tabs, appears at the right side of the screen.
Parameter | Description |

Name | The name of the Zixi Broadcaster. |
Status | The connection status of the Zixi Broadcaster:
The wrench icon indicates that maintenance mode is turned on, which prevents new streams from being assigned to this Broadcaster. |
CPU | The percentage of CPU utilization on the Zixi Broadcaster machine. |
RAM | The percentage of RAM utilization on the Zixi Broadcaster machine. |
HDD | The percentage of hard disk utilization on the Zixi Broadcaster machine. |
In Bitrate | The inbound bitrate in kbps |
Out Bitrate | The outbound bitrate in kbps |
Streams | The total number inputs, outputs and adaptive groups currently active on the Broadcaster. |
Uptime | The time period that the Zixi Broadcaster has been online. |
Primary | Yes - the Broadcaster is configured as "primary". No - the Broadcaster is configured as "backup". |
Public IP | The IP address of the Broadcaster. |
OS | The OS of the Broadcaster machine. |
Instance Id | The cloud instance type. |

AgentZ | Indicates whether AgentZ has been installed for this Broadcaster. Agent Z is a Sidecar tool that sits on a Zixi Broadcaster, it acquires the system health data and other statistics locally and pushes it to ZEN Master. By enabling this option, ZEN Master will automatically install AgentZ on any existing and future Broadcasters connected to the Cluster. The feature is off by default. Due to AgentZ installation requiring a restart, ZEN Master will not auto-install AgentZ on a Broadcaster that already contains any inputs to avoid disturbing active streams. |
