Quarterly protocol metrics, demand trends, and ecosystem health. Gateway fee data included from Q3 2024.
Gateway monitoring tools
Loki Gateway Log API
Community-maintained Loki endpoint at
loki.livepeer.report. Query Gateway and Orchestrator logs with pre-built query patterns (session starts, payment failures, errors).Livepeer Exporter (Prometheus)
Prometheus-compatible metrics exporter for Livepeer nodes. Pairs with Grafana dashboards for production Gateway monitoring.
Stream Tester
Benchmarks Gateway and Orchestrator streaming performance. Useful for validating Orchestrator selection and detecting latency regressions.
AI Inference Tester
GPU inference benchmarking for Orchestrators connected to your Gateway. Validates capability advertisement accuracy.
Livepeer Reward Watcher
Monitors Orchestrator reward calls and sends alerts. Relevant for Gateway operators also running Orchestrators, or monitoring their connected Orchestrators.
Reference documentation
Configuration Flags Reference
