Monitor playback health in real time
Back to Changelog
Real-Time Monitoring is a new Video Data dashboard page that answers one question continuously: is playback working right now, and for which viewers? Where the Metrics page shows what happened over hours and days, this page shows what is happening this minute, so you can act during an incident instead of explaining it afterwards. The page refreshes every 15 seconds, and every view is measured.
What’s new for customers:
- Six live quality metrics: Playback Failure Percentage, Exits Before Video Start, Concurrent Viewers, Buffer Ratio, Video Startup Time, and Average Bitrate, each with a 30-minute trend.
- Find who is affected: break any metric down by nine dimensions (country, CDN, title, player, OS, region, stream type, sub property, and video ID), with the biggest contributor called out, and filter the whole page by up to two dimensions at once.
- Watching right now: a world map of where your viewers are, plus the top titles by concurrent viewers.
- Ceilings: Playback Failure Percentage, Exits Before Video Start, and Buffer Ratio turn red with an Above ceiling badge when they cross their threshold, so a problem is visible at a glance.
