# Monitor Metrics

This guide provides instructions on configuring metrics monitoring for
orchestrators that have been
[activated](/orchestrators/guides/get-started#activate) on the Livepeer network.

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

<Info>
  You can refer to [Prometheus
  Metrics](/references/go-livepeer/prometheus-metrics) to check what metrics are
  exposed.
</Info>

## 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:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
livepeer \
    -orchestrator \
    -transcoder \
    -monitor
```

<Info>For the purpose of this example, other flags have been omitted.</Info>

## Monitoring With Prometheus and Grafana

Follow the instructions in this
[monitoring guide](https://forum.livepeer.org/t/guide-transcoder-monitoring-with-prometheus-grafana/1225)
to learn how metrics recorded by `livepeer` can be:

* Exported to [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/), and
* Visualized in [Grafana](https://grafana.com/)

## Monitoring with Docker

You can use this
[Docker container](https://github.com/livepeer/livepeer-monitoring) to easily
start monitoring your orchestrator or transcoder. It bundles Prometheus,
Grafana, and a few starter Grafana dashboard templates.
