Deal Troubleshooting

Overview

The Deal Troubleshooting page in the Deal Portal allows you to monitor and manage active deals in near real-time.
It provides you with metrics to improve deal performance and make data-driven decisions quickly.

Using the Deal Troubleshooting Page

  • Near-Real-Time Monitoring
    Offers instant insights into how a deal is performing across Requests, Bids, Wins, and Impressions.

  • Flexible Time Range Selection
    Filter the data to focus on a specific timeframe:

    • Last 15 minutes
    • Last 1 hour
    • Last 24 hours

    This helps you quickly investigate recent delivery trends or anomalies.

  • Auto and Manual Refresh
    Data refreshes automatically when a new timeframe is selected, or manually via the Refresh button.

  • Last Refreshed Timestamp
    A visible timestamp shows the exact time when the data was last updated, ensuring transparency and freshness.

  • Performance Diagnosis
    Quickly identify where your deal may be underperforming — whether at the request stage, during bidding, in win rate, or final impression delivery.

  • Live Metric Visualization
    Includes a funnel view bar chart that visually represents live metrics for active deals in this order:

    • Deal Requests: Number of bid requests made to the DSP.
    • Bids: Number of responses to bid requests received.
    • Wins: Number of auctions won.
    • Impressions: Successful ad impressions from won bids.
