## Introducing observability and metrics for Stream Live Inputs

Aug 08, 2025

[Stream](https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/)

New information about broadcast metrics and events is now available in [Cloudflare Stream](https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/) in the Live Input details of the Dashboard.

You can now easily understand broadcast-side health and performance with new observability, which can help when troubleshooting common issues, particularly for new customers who are just getting started, and platform customers who may have limited visibility into how their end-users configure their encoders.

To get started, start a live stream ([just getting started?](https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/examples/obs-from-scratch/)), then visit the Live Input details page in Dash.

See our new live [Troubleshooting](https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/stream-live/troubleshooting/) guide to learn what these metrics mean and how to use them to address common broadcast issues.
