ApsaraVideo Live:Real-time monitoring

Last Updated:Mar 05, 2026

Real-time monitoring lets you monitor stream ingest, bandwidth, and other metrics. This topic describes how to view these monitoring metrics.

Background information

  • The time granularity for real-time monitoring ranges from 5 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the metric. This granularity differs from that used for operational analysis and usage queries. As a result, real-time data may be inconsistent with data from these other queries for the same time period. Billing for ApsaraVideo Live is based on data from usage queries.

  • You can query data from the last 7 or 30 days, depending on the metric. The maximum time span for a single query is 3 or 24 hours, also depending on the metric.

  1. Log on to the ApsaraVideo Live console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Live Center > Data Monitoring > Real-time Monitoring. This opens the Real-time Monitoring page.

  3. View the real-time monitoring data.

Query stream data

You can enter a specific StreamName to query data about stream ingest, playback, stream quality in the live center, live records, and callback records. To query an original stream, enter the exact StreamName. To query a transcoded stream, enter StreamName_transcoding template ID.

Metrics

Metrics

Monitoring Rules

Stream Ingest Statistics

The stream ingest traffic, bandwidth, video frame rate, video bitrate, audio frame rate, audio bitrate, and client IP address. If a stream is re-ingested from the same IP address, the data curves are displayed in different colors.

Note

Stream ingest data provides statistics on the quality of live streams at edge nodes.

The maximum time span for a single query is 3 hours. You can query only data within the last 7 days.

Playback Statistics

The playback bandwidth, playback traffic, online users (concurrent connections), and new connections for a single stream.

  • If you query playback data by stream for a domain name for the first time, you must submit a ticket to enable the feature.

  • Querying new connections is not supported for the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) protocol. Concurrent HLS connections are counted for requests that use the default format. To count requests that use other formats, you must submit a ticket.

    Note

    The default formats are as follows:

    • M3U8 request example: http(s)://example.aliyundoc.com/Appname/StreamName.m3u8

    • TS request example: http(s)://example.aliyundoc.com/Appname/StreamName/153*******_137***.ts

Note

For more information about how to submit a ticket, see Contact us.

The maximum time span for a single query is 24 hours. You can query only data within the last 7 days.

Live Center Stream Quality

The frame rate and bitrate of the source stream and transcoded streams.

Note

Live center stream quality data provides statistics on the quality of live streams.

The maximum time span for a single query is 3 hours. You can query only data within the last 7 days.

Live Streaming Records

The StreamName, domain name, AppName, stream ingest start and end times, and client IP address for stream ingest.

The maximum time span for a single query is 30 days. You can query only data within the last 30 days.

Callback Records

The StreamName, domain name, AppName, callback URL, trigger time, callback content, and request status for callbacks related to stream ingest and interruption, recording to OSS, and anomalous activity.

The maximum time span for a single query is 7 days. You can query up to 1,000 callback records from the last 7 days.

Query domain name data

Metrics

Monitoring Rules

Playback data

The playback traffic, playback bandwidth, number of status codes for playback, and percentage of status codes for playback at the domain name level.

The maximum time span for a single query is 24 hours. You can query only data within the last 7 days.

Ingest data

The ingest traffic, ingest bandwidth, number of status codes for stream ingest, and percentage of status codes for stream ingest at the domain name level.

The maximum time span for a single query is 1 hour. You can query only data within the last 7 days.
