## Response

The following is a sample response from the `GetStatus` action:

    <action>GETSTATUS</action>
    <response>SUCCESS</response>
       <responsedata>
          <statistics>
             <channelsAllocated visual="1" surveillance="0" audio="1" videoManagement="1"/>
             <channelsAvailable visual="1" surveillance="0" audio="1" videoManagement="1"/>
             <sessionStatistics token="...">
                <processingSeconds>3</processingSeconds>
                <recordCount>3410</recordCount>
                <channelsUsage visual="1" surveillance="0" audio="0"/>
             </sessionStatistics>
          </statistics>
          <product>MediaServer</product>
          <version>12.9.0</version>
          <build>1234567</build>
          <aciport>14000</aciport>
          <serviceport>14001</serviceport>
          <enabledModules>audiomatch ocr speakerid speechtotext</enabledModules>
          <directory>C:\MediaServer</directory>
          <acithreads>4</acithreads>
          <cpuinstructionsets>SSE3 SSE4</cpuinstructionsets>
       </responsedata>
    </autnresponse>

To enable or disable modules, use the Enable parameter.

The `cpuinstructionsets` element lists the special instruction sets that are supported by your CPU. Possible values include SSE3, SSE4, AVX, FMA, and AVX2. Media Server can use these instruction sets to improve performance, if they are present.

If you set the action parameter `CheckResources`, Media Server checks and returns the availability of resources. For example, if you set `CheckResources=IdolServer`:

    <responsedata>
       <resources>
          <server type="Idol" configValue="localhost:9000/News" available="yes">
             <status>
                <product>IDOL Server</product>
                <version>12.8.1</version>
                ...
             </status>
          </server>
       </resources>
       ...
    </responsedata>

The `gpudeviceid` element is present if you have set the GPUDeviceID parameter in the `[Server]` section of the configuration file, and reports the device ID of your chosen default GPU. For information about how to use a GPU, see GPU acceleration.

    <gpudeviceid>1</gpudeviceid>
