✅ Info
Before using this dashboard, instrument your OpenRouter applications with OpenTelemetry and configure export to SigNoz. See the OpenRouter observability guide for complete setup instructions.
This dashboard offers a clear view into OpenRouter usage and performance. It highlights key metrics such as model distribution, error rates, request volumes, and latency trends. Teams can also track detailed records of errors, to better understand adoption patterns and optimize reliability and efficiency.

What This Dashboard Monitors
This dashboard tracks critical performance metrics for your OpenRouter usage using OpenTelemetry to help you:
- Track Reliability: Monitor error rates to identify reliability issues and ensure applications maintain a smooth, dependable experience.
- Analyze Model Adoption: Understand which OpenRouter models are being used to track preferences and measure adoption of different models.
- Monitor Cost & Usage Patterns: Observe token consumption, cost, and request volume trends over time to spot adoption curves, peak cycles, and unusual spikes.
- Ensure Responsiveness: Track P95 latency to surface potential slowdowns, spikes, or regressions and maintain consistent user experience.
Metrics Included
Token Usage Metrics
- Total Token Usage (Input & Output): Displays the split between input tokens (user prompts) and output tokens (model responses), showing exactly how much work the system is doing over time.
- Token Usage Over Time: Time series visualization showing token consumption trends to identify adoption patterns, peak cycles, and baseline activity.
Performance & Reliability
- Total Error Rate: Tracks the percentage of OpenRouter calls that return errors, providing a quick way to identify reliability issues.
- Cache Utilization %: Shows the percentage of input tokens served from cache, helping you track cost savings.
- Request Duration (P95 Over Time): Measures the 95th percentile duration of requests over time to surface potential slowdowns and ensure consistent responsiveness.
Usage Analysis
- Model Distribution: Shows which OpenRouter model variants are being called, helping track preferences and measure adoption across different models.
- Token Distribution by Model: Shows the total token usage grouped by model to determine which model is using the most tokens.
- Cost Distribution by Model: Shows the total cost of token usage grouped by model to determine which model is the most cost intensive.
- Requests Over Time: Captures the volume of requests sent to OpenRouter over time, revealing demand patterns and high-traffic windows.
Error Tracking
- Error Records: Table logging all recorded errors with clickable records that link to the originating trace for detailed error investigation.
