How to Check Your Livestream Analytics on StreamKite

Once you’ve got more than one or two streams running 24/7, “how are my streams actually doing?” becomes a real question — not just whether they’re live, but whether they’re running efficiently, staying stable, and pulling their weight. StreamKite doesn’t hide this behind a separate reporting tool you have to dig for. It’s built into the same dashboard you already use to manage your streams, split across a few focused views depending on what you want to know.

Here’s exactly where to find each piece and what it actually tells you.

Where analytics live: the Power panel

Click the lightning-bolt Power icon that floats on your dashboard. This opens the Power panel, which has its own row of tabs along the side — Health, Analytics, Alerts, and more. Two of these matter most for performance data: the Analytics tab and the Health tab.

The Analytics tab — your monthly performance summary

This is the closest thing to a proper reporting dashboard. Open it and you’ll see:

• Total hours and this month’s hours — your combined streaming hours across every slot, so you can see at a glance how much airtime you’re actually running.
• Total slots vs. active slots — how many streams you have set up versus how many are currently live.
• Per-slot hours this month — a breakdown by individual stream, color-coded by platform, so you can immediately spot which channel is carrying the most airtime and which one has barely run at all.
• Stream efficiency — two simple bars: the percentage of your slots currently running, and the percentage that actually have media uploaded. If that second number is low, it’s telling you plainly that some of your slots are just sitting there empty.

This tab answers the question “where is my streaming time actually going” better than staring at individual slot cards ever could.

Once you’ve got a sense of your overall numbers, the next thing worth checking is whether your streams are actually running well right now — not just how much airtime they’ve logged historically. That’s what the Health tab is for.

The Health tab — how your streams are doing right now

Where Analytics looks backward at hours logged, Health looks at the present moment:

• Live now — a live count of how many slots are currently streaming.
• Stability — a percentage calculated from how many of your slots are crash-free right now. If this number starts dropping, something across your setup needs attention.
• Live bitrate per stream — for every currently-running slot, you get a real-time bitrate reading with color coding: green means healthy, yellow means borderline, red means you’ve got a problem worth investigating before a platform flags the stream itself.
• Slot status overview — a simple list of every slot with a colored dot showing live, off, or crashed, so you don’t have to scroll through your whole streams grid to check.

Dashboard stats — the quick numbers view

Inside the Power panel’s UX tab, there’s a compact stats block that rolls up a wider set of numbers in one glance: total slots, live count, crashed count, slots with media, an overall uptime rate, total monthly hours, how many active schedules and chain rules you have running, how many keys are stored in your vault, active alerts, and your current session time. It’s less about deep analysis and more a fast health check — useful when you just want reassurance that nothing’s quietly broken.

Checking individual stream uptime

If you want to know how long a specific stream has been live in its current run, that’s visible right on the slot card itself next to the LIVE badge — it updates continuously while the stream runs, so you don’t need to open any separate report to see it.

Using the Alerts tab to catch problems early

Analytics tell you what happened; the Alerts tab tells you what went wrong. Every time a stream stops unexpectedly, crashes, or your plan nears expiry, it shows up here with a timestamp — plus a history log of past alerts so you can spot patterns, like a specific slot that keeps crashing at the same time every day.

A simple weekly analytics habit

1. Open the Analytics tab and check per-slot hours — flag anything unusually low.
2. Check the efficiency bars — any slots with no media uploaded that should have some?
3. Switch to the Health tab and glance at the stability percentage and bitrate colors.
4. Check the Alerts tab for anything that fired since your last look.

That takes about a minute once you know where everything is, and it’s usually enough to catch a struggling stream before a viewer notices before you do.

Frequently asked questions

Do analytics update in real time?
The Health tab’s live count and bitrate readings update continuously while the panel is open. The Analytics tab’s hour totals reflect your streaming activity for the current month and update as your dashboard refreshes.

Can I see analytics for addon slots too?
Yes — addon slots are counted alongside your main plan slots in both the Analytics and Health tabs, so you get one unified view regardless of which plan a slot belongs to.

What does a low stability percentage actually mean?
It means a noticeable share of your slots are currently in a crashed state rather than running cleanly. Check the slot status overview to see exactly which ones, then look at their RTMP key and media file — those are the two most common causes.

Is there a way to export this data?
Yes — the Power panel’s Download tab lets you export your full slot data (including performance-relevant details like status and monthly hours) as CSV, JSON, or a printable HTML table.

The short version

You don’t need a separate analytics tool to understand how your streams are performing — it’s already built into the same dashboard you use every day. Analytics for the big picture, Health for right now, Alerts for anything that went wrong in between. Check all three occasionally and you’ll almost always catch a problem before it costs you real downtime.
