Broadcaster Logs

This release offers a public API to enable inspection of Broadcaster logs, so that Orchestrators and other API users can understand the selection algorithms used to assign work to Orchestrator nodes.

To access these logs, builders should query the Broadcaster Introspection API as described here.

This is the initial release of the API, and only a few log lines have been enabled in the public logs. Orchestrators are encouraged to open pull requests to enable additional logs, which will be closely reviewed by the Livepeer team. Additionally, Livepeer core contributors will publish more logs from Livepeer Inc Broadcasters that may aid in understanding the selection algorithms.

At present, these logs are available for Livepeer Inc broadcasters (though other broadcasters could choose to spin up their own Loki instance to serve their logs). In the future, we may consider collecting logs from other Bs on an opt-in basis.
