Application Real-Time Monitoring Service:Token analysis

Last Updated:Sep 04, 2026

After you install the Python agent for your Large Language Model (LLM) application, ARMS begins monitoring it. Use the token analysis page to understand token usage in your LLM application.

In LLM applications, a token is the basic unit for processing text. It represents the smallest semantic unit of a model's input and output. A token can be a word, a subword, or a character, depending on the model's tokenizer.

Prerequisites

The agent for your LLM application has been installed. For more information, see Connect an LLM application or inference service to ARMS.

View token analysis

  1. Log in to the ARMS console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose LLM Application Monitoring > Application List.

  2. On the Application List page, select the region, and then click the name of your application.

  3. In the top navigation bar, click token analysis.
