Application Real-Time Monitoring Service:Token analysis

Last Updated:Apr 09, 2026

After you install the Python agent for your Large Language Model (LLM) application, Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS) starts monitoring the application. You can view its token usage on the Token analysis page.

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

Prerequisites

You have installed an agent for the LLM application. For more information, see Integrate LLM applications or inference services with ARMS.
