Metrics

The MSL5 Metrics Dashboard provides a visual display of service metrics, enabling the monitoring and analysis of traffic patterns through an organized dashboard interface.

MSL5 Dashboard tracks the following core metrics:

• General Metrics: Active Streams, Avg Total Ingest Bitrate, Total Ingest Hits, Error Rate
• Ingestion Trends
• HTTP Response Metrics
• Stream and Event Details

General Metrics

View the following general metrics:

• Active Streams: Displays the total number of streams in the “Ready” state.
• Avg Total Ingest Bitrate: Displays the average total ingest bitrate over 60-second intervals, measured in Mbps.
• Total Ingest Hits: Indicates the total count of ingest requests.
• Error Rate: Displays the error count per total requests in percentage.

Ingestion Trends

View the real-time average ingestion bitrate and/or error rate trends with Line Chart and Bar Chart views based on the following:

• Average Bitrate (Mbps)
• Error Rate (%)

HTTP Response Metrics

Retrieve the HTTP (2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx) response metrics based on searches conducted using the following criteria:

• Stream ID: Metrics based on the Stream ID you input.
• CP Tag: Metrics based on the CP Tag you provide.
• Time: Metrics based on the specified Time Range.

Stream and Event Details

Select one or more streams from the filter panel to view detailed metrics for streams and events.
