@millions-hair-24956 https://docs.livekit.io/agents/build/metrics/ Are metrics available for the multimodal voice agent as well? I want to test the latency between a user stopping to speak and the agent responding back
g
Yes, metrics are available for the MultimodalAgent, including those that can help measure latency. According to the LiveKit documentation, you can capture metrics such as
end_of_utterance_delay
and
ttft
(time to first token) to calculate the latency between when a user stops speaking and when the agent starts responding. These metrics are part of the metrics module provided by LiveKit. Would you like more details on how to implement this or any specific code examples? Sources: - LiveKit Metrics Documentation 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@millions-hair-24956 But it says this on the page: The following metric types are available for
VoicePipelineAgent
.
g
The documentation primarily highlights metrics for the
VoicePipelineAgent
, but the underlying metrics module can still be used with the
MultimodalAgent
. According to the LiveKit metrics documentation, while specific examples are given for
VoicePipelineAgent
, the metrics such as
end_of_utterance_delay
and
ttft
are generally applicable to any agent that uses the LiveKit framework, including
MultimodalAgent
. Would you like more detailed guidance on how to apply these metrics to the
MultimodalAgent
? Sources: - LiveKit Metrics Documentation 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

Can you tell me how I can log these to another file maybe? Or in my logs itself I want to find the delay between the user stopping speaking and the agent starting to speak again (basically the time taken for agent to hear and respond back to the user). Can you suggest how to implement it @millions-hair-24956

To log metrics such as the delay between the user stopping speaking and the agent starting to speak, you can use the
metrics_collected
event in LiveKit. According to the LiveKit metrics documentation, you can subscribe to this event and use the
log_metrics
function to format and log the metrics. Here's a basic implementation: 1. Subscribe to Metrics Event: Use the
metrics_collected
event to capture metrics during a session. 2. Log Metrics: Use the
log_metrics
function to log the metrics to your desired logging system. Here's a code snippet to illustrate this:
Copy code
from livekit.agents import metrics
import logging

# Set up logging
logger = logging.getLogger('metrics_logger')
handler = logging.FileHandler('metrics.log')
logger.addHandler(handler)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

# Subscribe to metrics collection events
@agent.on("metrics_collected")
def on_metrics_collected(mtrcs: metrics.AgentMetrics):
    # Log the metrics using the helper function
    metrics.log_metrics(mtrcs, logger=logger)
This code sets up a logger to write to a file named
metrics.log
and logs the metrics whenever they are collected. You can adjust the logging configuration to suit your needs, such as logging to a different file or integrating with a logging service.
