NS_E_MAX_FUNNELS_ALERT
NS_E_MAX_FUNNELS_ALERT — 0xC00D0060
What the limit counts
NS_E_MAX_FUNNELS_ALERT reports that the NetShow data-stream limit was reached; the original message includes the allowed stream count. This is a stream/funnel count boundary, not the same condition as a client-session count or a bandwidth limit.
Evidence to preserve
- The limit value substituted into the original message.
- Current number of data streams/funnels and the server objects that own them.
- Which publishing points or clients opened the most recent streams.
- Streams pending teardown, reconnect or timeout when the alert appeared.
Evidence to collect
| Field | What to preserve |
|---|---|
| Ceiling | Exact configured limit, its unit and the server/publishing-point object that owns it. |
| Current use | Measured count/rate/size immediately before the rejected request. |
| New demand | Amount the new operation would add to the same resource. |
| Owners | Sessions, titles, streams or reservations contributing to the measured usage. |
Decision rule
The result is proved only when recorded usage plus the new demand crosses the recorded ceiling; otherwise investigate stale accounting or the object that owns the limit.
Focused test
Release one identified stream and verify the server's stream count falls before opening one replacement. If a closed stream remains counted, investigate lifetime/cleanup. If the count falls and the replacement succeeds, the stream ceiling is confirmed.
Verification
Confirm stream accounting returns to baseline after clients disconnect and that a controlled attempt to exceed the configured stream limit still produces NS_E_MAX_FUNNELS_ALERT.
