LogicMonitor’s monitoring package for OpenAI provides REST API-based visibility into API usage and cost metrics for OpenAI services. The package enables you to track consumption across core OpenAI features—such as text and audio completions, image generation, and daily billing—using an administrative API key.

The monitoring suite collects detailed usage data including input/output tokens, cached token reuse, and model-specific statistics. It also tracks cost metrics associated with daily OpenAI API consumption, helping you stay within project budgets and enabling the configuration of alerts.

This package supports scalable, structured monitoring and is ideal for teams looking to optimize their OpenAI API usage within the LogicMonitor platform.

Requirements for OpenAI Monitoring

• AnOpenAI admin-level API key with access to organization-wide usage and billing endpoints.

Troubleshooting

• Admin Key Requirements—This package requires an OpenAI admin-level API key with access to usage and billing data. Personal or project-scoped keys are not supported.
• Key Management—Admin keys grant broad access. Store them securely, rotate them periodically, and monitor usage through OpenAI’s audit features.
• No Support for Proxies or Limited Scope Tokens—The package is designed for direct access to OpenAI’s API endpoints. It does not support API proxies or restricted-scope keys.
• Authentication Errors (401/403)—These indicate that the API key is invalid or expired. Verify the value and key scope in OpenAI’s dashboard.
• Rate Limiting (HTTP 429)—OpenAI may limit request volume. If this occurs, reduce polling frequency or stagger requests across collectors.
