## Monitoring

### Which fixtures appear in the Monitoring screen?

Monitoring displays fixtures that include market data. Fixtures with only livescore data (no markets) are excluded.

### How do I filter by provider?

Use the provider dropdown in the sports bar to filter fixtures by a specific provider. The fixture count updates to show only those covered by the selected provider.

### What do the fixture statuses mean?

| Status         | Description                 |
| -------------- | --------------------------- |
| NSY            | Not Started Yet (pre-match) |
| About to Start | Starting soon               |
| In Progress    | Currently live              |
| Interrupted    | Temporarily stopped         |
| Lost Coverage  | Data feed unavailable       |

## Provider Benchmark

### How do I compare providers?

Navigate to Provider Benchmark and select your source provider and comparison provider. The tool shows fixtures your comparison provider covers that your source doesn't.

### Can I order missing fixtures directly from BOOST?

Yes! In the BPS live comparison, hover over a fixture and click the "+" icon to order it directly if you're a TRADE user.

## Trading Performance

### What metrics does Trading Performance show?

* **Market Uptime** — Percentage of time markets were available
* **Margin Comparison** — Margin analysis across providers
* **Latency** — Response time metrics

### How is uptime calculated?

Uptime measures the percentage of fixture duration that markets had active odds available (not suspended).

***

## Support

### How do I report a coverage issue?

Open a support ticket at [support.lsports.eu](https://support.lsports.eu/) with the fixture ID and provider details.

### Can I request coverage for new leagues?
