Monitor Metrics

This guide provides instructions on configuring metrics monitoring for orchestrators that have been activated on the Livepeer network.

• Enable Metrics Monitoring
• Monitor with visualizations
  • Prometheus
  • Grafana
• Monitor with Docker

​

Enabling Metrics Monitoring

You can enable metrics monitoring with livepeer.exe adding the -monitor flag and additional parameters:

• -monitor: enables metric monitoring
• -metricsPerStream: groups performance metrics per stream
• -metricsClientIP: exposes client’s IP in metrics

For Example:

Enable metrics monitoring with a combined orchestrator and transcoder:

livepeer \
    -orchestrator \
    -transcoder \
    -monitor

​

Monitoring With Prometheus and Grafana

Follow the instructions in this monitoring guide to learn how metrics recorded by livepeer can be:

• Exported to Prometheus, and
• Visualized in Grafana

​

Monitoring with Docker

You can use this Docker container to easily start monitoring your orchestrator or transcoder. It bundles Prometheus, Grafana, and a few starter Grafana dashboard templates.
