Store PushPublish services details for use with PushPublish.Connect/Disconnect Depending on the type of some settings may or may not be required. All services require atleast a destination stream, service name. For Akamai destinations the Akamai Host and Stream IDs are required. For RTMP the settings are based on what the service designates as necessary, but can include host address, port, application and instance. Transcoded streams should be group together with the adaptive_group setting designating them with the same group name. Autopush will allow stream to auto connect to the destination when it is published. Lastly, push_source will enable/disable pushing of the source stream for instances where overlays are being added to the transcoded streams.
