# Monitoring Your Orchestrator Setup

> Monitor node health, GPU performance, and earnings with Prometheus and the Livepeer Explorer.

Operating an Orchestrator means keeping the node online, processing jobs correctly, calling rewards each round, and redeeming tickets. Monitoring helps you spot failures before they cost you income or reputation.

## Built-in metrics

With `-monitor=true`, go-livepeer exposes Prometheus-compatible metrics at:

<CustomCodeBlock codeString={`http://localhost:7935/metrics`} language="text" icon="gauge" />

## What to track

| Layer           | What to monitor                                   |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Hardware**    | GPU utilisation, VRAM, temperature (`nvidia-smi`) |
| **Application** | go-livepeer health, segment/job success rate      |
| **Network**     | Latency, packet loss                              |
| **On-chain**    | Bonded stake, Active Set status, reward calls     |
| **Economics**   | ETH fees, LPT rewards                             |

Key metrics include: `livepeer_segment_processed_total`, `livepeer_segment_errors_total`, `livepeer_transcode_latency_seconds`, and (for AI) inference job counts and latency. High error rates reduce selection probability.

<Warning> If you do not call **reward()** every round, you stop earning inflation rewards. Automate reward calls or use a service that does.</Warning>

## Explorer

Use the [Livepeer Explorer](https://explorer.livepeer.org) to check:

* Active Set status
* Bonded and delegated LPT
* Reward calls and fee earnings
* Historical performance

## Prometheus and Grafana

For production, run Prometheus with a scrape config for your node(s), and use or build Grafana dashboards. Add **Node exporter** and **NVIDIA DCGM exporter** for host and GPU metrics.
