Graphite Keys

Summary

Most RTBkit components log real-time information and metrics in Graphite. This has proven invaluable for monitoring the current state of the RTB stack.

This page gives some information about what those key means.

Keys

Graphite Key	Help

router.accounts.*.inFlight.numInFlight	Number of request for bid sent to the agent that were still not answered.
router.accounts.*.inFlight.oldestAgeSeconds	Age of the oldest request for bid send to an agent that was still not answered.

router.accounts.*.timeSinceHeartbeat	Time since we last received an heartbeat message from the agent. The agent will be considered dead after 5 seconds.
router.auctionDropped.noPotentialBidders	Auction is dropped since no bidders were selected during preprocessing.
router.auctionKeepPercentage	Chances that an auction received by the router will be processed. This value is constantly adjusted by monitoring the load on the router to avoid overloading it.
router.auctionPassedPreprocessing	Auction completed the preprocessing phase and bidders were selected for the augmentation phase.
router.bid	Bid received from an agent.
router.bidError.agentNotBidding	Bid response is not associated with a bid request.
