Hi Guys,

I want to monitor my icecast-kh server with netdata, but not working.  
Can I use icecast-kh with netdata?

log:  
JSON decode error: ‘utf8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xf3 in position 1: invalid continuation byte

Thanks.

Hey @peppi001 👋

It means that the returned data is not valid JSON data.

What endpoint do you use? I see [we collect data](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/e5aa543cac723a039ff98b0dc238c861f7807b33/collectors/python.d.plugin/icecast/icecast.conf#L75-L81) using `/status-json.xsl`.

i briefly checked [icecast-kh](https://github.com/karlheyes/icecast-kh) and there is no `status-json.xsl` file.

See [where are the files /json.xsl and /stats-json.xsl? · Issue #294 · karlheyes/icecast-kh · GitHub](https://github.com/karlheyes/icecast-kh/issues/294)

> As xsl files you can drop them in webroot and go ahead.

I guess you can create/find and copy them - it looks like that is how it works, you create a file with that returns stats data in JSON format and then just query it via HTTP.

I’m not an icecast user, i can’t help much.

I googled and found [https://github.com/adel-s/radio/blob/master/icecast-kh/web/status-json.xsl](https://github.com/adel-s/radio/blob/master/icecast-kh/web/status-json.xsl)
