Live Portal
The entry point for users of Vindral Live is Vindral Live Portal. LiveCloud customers can visit portal.cdn.vindral.com. Within the Portal, you manage and view information about your channels, channel groups, users, usage, and authentication settings.
The access for the customer portal is divided into different roles: Administrator, Channel manager, and User. The different roles provide different levels of access and functionality.
Dashboard
The Dashboard page shows the current state of your organization with near real-time updates: how many channels are live, current viewers, egress and ingress compared with the last 7 days, where your viewers are right now, recent channel activity, and channels that need attention. Live channels are listed with a preview, viewer count and how long they have been live.
Analytics
Besides the current state, it is often helpful to be able to track performance over time as well. The Analytics page is a comprehensive built-in tool that lets you gain valuable insights about your channels and viewers.
You can filter for date, channel, region, and country, and export the data. The data is divided into several sections:
- Overview - current and peak viewers, viewer sessions, total egress, ingest restarts, viewers over time and top channels
- Sessions - viewer time, session count, average session duration and bit rate, time to first frame and round trip time
- Audience - viewer sessions per country on a map, and OS, browser and device distribution
- Traffic - total egress split into HLS, RTMP, restreaming and clipping, egress over time and per channel, including a comparison to the previous period
- Ingest - total ingress, restarts, ingress over time, video keyframe interval and packet arrival delta
- Hyperlocal - viewer time and egress per hyperlocal edge, shown when your organization has hyperlocal edges
We will continue to add new features and metrics to the Analytics Page.
