View Alerts
Beta feature
DSP helps you identify when any of your campaigns or campaign components have issues. For each issue, DSP creates an alert with a time stamp and the recommended action to resolve the issue. Reasons for alerts include configuration issues (for example, when no ads are attached to a placement or when a deal is set up incorrectly), ad rejection, and campaign health issues (such as poor ad delivery or performance). Alerts are available at the campaign, package, placement, ad, and deal levels.
Alerts are available in the following locations:
-
A Pulse Panel icon in the Campaigns, Packages and package details, Placements, and Ads views indicates if any alerts are available for the items in that view. When the icon has a blue dot (
-
The data tables in the same views include an “Alerts” column that indicates when the item — or its components — has an issue. Alert indicators include “Critical” (
You can open the relevant campaign management view for any alert so that you can edit the settings as needed to resolve the issue.
You can also choose to ignore an individual alert, which removes it from the Pulse panel.
Alerts and alert indicators automatically disappear when the underlying issues are resolved.
