Monitoring And Alarm

1. Function Overview

You can set monitoring and alarm rules to select various data metrics of different dimensions such as app, ad format, placement, including revenue, impression, eCPM, etc. to monitor data fluctuations. We will provide you with regular data feedback via site letters and emails every day to help you find data problems in time.

 

2. Operation Guide

2.1 Add monitoring and alarm

You need to add monitoring rules first and select the dimensions and metrics for which data fluctuations need to be monitored.

(1) Enter the monitoring and alarm function

(2) Add rule

Choose different monitor types based on different scenarios:

• Non-AB test: You can select different dimensions, specify application, placement, etc., and monitor specific indicators in the corresponding dimensions.

• AB test: If you are conducting an AB test, you can monitor the fluctuation of the comparison effect of specific indicators for the AB test that is taking effect (by default, the group with the largest and smallest AB test ID will be selected for data comparison). You need to select the application or the corresponding AB test on the page for monitoring.

Click [+Rule] to set the dimensions and metrics you need to monitor. For specific metric descriptions, please see the table below:

 

(4) Example

You need to view the revenue fluctuations of each app under the account. You can set the monitoring app dimension and estimate the revenue index to rise or fall by 20% compared with the previous day. The specific configuration is as follows.

(5) Setting the monitoring cycle time for each metric

① TopOn statistics (data without API suffix): Our statistics will be completed before 9:00 Beijing time every day. The monitoring time for this type of data can be set to 9:00 and later

② API data: The update time of API data on each platform is inconsistent. You can click [Suggestions on monitoring time of each platform] to view

After adding the rule, in the set monitoring cycle, we will calculate according to the set rules every day. After the data triggers the alarm, you will receive a notification on the site or email notification, and you can view the details of the hit rule in the monitoring alarm.

 

2.2 View monitoring alarm

After receiving the alarm notification, you can click the notification to view all the data abnormality reminders that triggered the alarm on that day, and promptly discover data problems in various dimensions.

(1) Site notification, Email

After selecting the notification method, you will see the corresponding monitoring metric data in the site notification/email. Click to jump to the monitoring and early warning center to view the corresponding content.

(2) View monitoring and alarm content in the background

On the monitoring warning page, you can view the number of matched rules for each rule. Click [View] to view the monitoring indicator data of matched rules in the corresponding dimension.

Viewing abnormal report data is not supported. You can view the data in the Full Report.

Note:

Regarding the monitoring of the AB test, the data of the latest day can be viewed in the [Test Results] data of the corresponding indicator in the AB test page and the ad slot data summary report.

 

3. FAQ

(1) When will notification start after setting a new rule?

If the warning time of the rule is set after the current time, the warning will take effect immediately on that day, otherwise it will take effect on the next day. Example: If the daily warning is set at 10:00 on 2022/1/1 9:00, the first warning notification will be received at 2022/1/1 10:00; if the daily warning is set at 9:00 on 2022/1/1 10:00, the first warning notification will be received the next day, that is, 2022/1/2 9:00.

 

(2) Set email notification but can't receive email?

You can first check whether there are emails in the trash, because sending emails too frequently may cause this problem. If there is no notification, please contact your operations colleagues.

 

(3) When monitoring API data, sometimes there is no warning, how to troubleshoot?

Because the update time of the monitored API data is inconsistent on each platform, the warning will not work properly when there is no data. Please set the monitoring time reasonably according to the [Suggestions on monitoring time of each platform] in the background prompt.
