# Tools & Dashboards

> Monitor a Livepeer gateway with Explorer, Livepeer Tools, livepeercli, and Arbiscan - what each tool shows, which to use when, and how to read the data.

<Tip>
  Gateway monitoring spans three categories: **Dashboards** (Explorer, Livepeer Tools), **On-chain** (Arbiscan), and **CLI Tools** (livepeer\_cli, HTTP API).
  <br /> Use the View Dropdown on the right side panel to toggle.
</Tip>

<CustomDivider style={{margin: "-1rem 0 -1rem 0"}} />

This is the second of five monitoring guides. Four tools form the Gateway operator's monitoring toolkit, each answering different questions. For time-series metrics and alerting, see <LinkArrow href="/v2/gateways/guides/monitoring-and-tooling/monitoring-setup" label="Monitoring Setup" newline={false} />.

## Quick Reference

## Tools and Dashboards Detail

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Livepeer Explorer" icon="gauge-high">
    <BorderedBox variant="accent">
      ## <Icon icon="computer" size={20} color="var(--accent)" />  Livepeer Explorer

      The Livepeer Explorer is the primary tool for on-chain data about the network. It surfaces Orchestrator information, staking, and Gateway registrations from Arbitrum One.

      <Tip>
        Gateway-specific views in the Explorer are currently in development. Some Gateway metrics may not yet be visible.
      </Tip>

      * **Orchestrator discovery:** Browse active Orchestrators, their capacity, advertised price per pixel, stake, and uptime. Useful for evaluating which Orchestrators to target.

      * **Verify Gateway registration:** On-chain Gateways appear in the Explorer after the first successful deposit transaction. Search by Gateway address to see on-chain activity.

      ### Gateway Explorer (Preview)

      Status: <Badge color="red"> In Development </Badge> [PR #410]("https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/pull/410")

  <Tab title="Cloud SPE Tools" icon="gauge-high">
    <BorderedBox variant="accent">
      ## <Icon icon="computer" size={20} color="var(--accent)" />  Cloud SPE Tools

      A community-built dashboard providing a network-wide view of Gateway and Orchestrator performance metrics.

      [//]: # "REVIEW: Confirm what Livepeer Tools currently exposes for Gateway operators, especially AI metrics."

      * **Network-wide AI view:** See which AI Orchestrators are active, what pipelines they support, and approximate load. Useful for choosing Orchestrators to add to `-orchAddr`.

      * **Gateway performance:** Compare Gateway performance against network averages. Identify whether problems (high latency, low success rates) are localised or network-wide.

      * **Historical metrics:** Unlike livepeer\_cli which shows current state only, Livepeer Tools provides time-series charts for trend analysis.

      <GotoCard relativePath="https://tools.livepeer.cloud" icon="link" label="Livepeer Tools Dashboard" text="Gateway and network performance metrics" />

  </Tab>

  <Tab title="CLI Tools" icon="terminal">
    <BorderedBox variant="accent">
      ## <Icon icon="tools" size={20} color="var(--accent)" /> livepeer\_cli

      The local command-line interface for a running Gateway node. It communicates with the node over HTTP on port 5935 (the CLI port, not the Gateway port).

      #### Starting livepeer\_cli

      ```bash icon="terminal" Start livepeer_cli theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
      # Binary installed on host
      livepeer_cli -host 127.0.0.1 -http 5935

      # Docker container
      docker exec -it <container_name> livepeer_cli -host <container_hostname> -http 5935
      ```

      [//]: # "REVIEW: Confirm the current livepeer_cli default port and whether the -host flag remains required."

      ### Key Options

      * **Option 1: Get node status** - the first thing to check. Output includes node version, network, ETH account address, current session count, and (for on-chain Gateways) deposit and reserve balance.

      * **Option 11: Deposit broadcasting funds** - triggers a deposit and reserve transaction to the TicketBroker contract on Arbitrum. Enter amounts in ETH.

      * **Option 16: Set max price per capability** - updates AI pipeline pricing (`-maxPricePerCapability`) at runtime.

      * **Set broadcast config** - adjusts `-maxPricePerUnit` and transcoding profiles without restarting the node.

      [//]: # "REVIEW: Confirm that the documented livepeer_cli options still match current builds."

      ### Docker usage

      When running the Gateway inside Docker, use the container hostname (not `localhost`):

      ```bash icon="terminal" Run livepeer_cli in Docker theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
      docker exec -it livepeer_gateway livepeer_cli -host livepeer_gateway -http 5935
      ```

      Using `localhost` inside Docker fails because it refers to the container itself, not the running Gateway process.
    </BorderedBox>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="CLI Http API" icon="terminal">
    <BorderedBox variant="accent">
      ## <Icon icon="wifi" size={20} color="var(--accent)" /> CLI HTTP API

      The livepeer\_cli communicates with the node via an HTTP API on port 5935. Call this API directly for automation, scripting, or integration with external monitoring.

      ```bash icon="terminal" Query the CLI HTTP API theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
      # Get current node status
      curl http://localhost:5935/status

      # Get hardware stats
      curl http://localhost:8935/hardware/stats
      ```

    </BorderedBox>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="On-Chain" icon="link">
    <BorderedBox variant="accent">
      ## <Icon icon="ethereum" size={20} color="var(--accent)" /> Arbiscan

      Arbiscan is the block explorer for Arbitrum One - the authoritative source for what has happened on-chain.
      It covers contract event logs, transaction history, and token transfers.

      <br />

      Key use cases include

      * monitoring deposit and reserve changes,
      * tracking ticket redemptions,
      * detecting unexpected drain, and
      * setting up address watchlist notifications.

      <br />

      Contract Addresses:

      * TicketBroker (Target): 0xea1b0F6c8D158328a6e3D3F924B86A759F41465c
      * All Contract Adresses <LinkArrow href="/v2/about/resources/reference/livepeer-contract-addresses" label="Livepeer Contract Addresses" />
