SSP Graphs 

The SSP Graphs section in RTB-Stack is a powerful tool designed to provide users with detailed visualizations of SSP performance metrics. This guide will help you navigate the various features and options available within the SSP Graphs window, ensuring you can effectively monitor and analyze SSP activities.

Overview of SSP Graph Types

SSP Graphs offer several types of visual data representations to cater to different monitoring needs:

• Live QPS (Queries Per Second): Displays real-time query processing rates.
• Average Requests: Shows the average number of requests processed over a selected time period.
• Overlimits: Tracks instances when the number of requests exceeds predefined limits.

Datacenter Selection

Users can select from available datacenters associated with their account via the Datacenter Dropdown. This feature allows for a more focused analysis by narrowing down the data to specific operational areas.

Viewing Options

• View by SSP: Available for all graph types, this option lets users select specific SSPs to view detailed performance data.
• View by Endpoint: Applicable to all graph types except Live QPS, enabling endpoint-specific performance analysis.

SSP Selection

A dropdown menu allows users to choose one or more SSPs for which they want to view performance data. This selection is particularly useful in the Live QPS graph where performance data is critical for real-time decision-making.

Time Period Selection

Users can select from various predefined timeframes to view historical data:

• Last 5 minutes (default for Live QPS, selection disabled)
• Last 15 minutes
• Last 30 minutes
• Last 1 hour
• Last 3 hours
• Last 6 hours
• Last 12 hours
• Last 24 hours
• Last 2 days
• Last 7 days
• Last 30 days

Refresh Options

For the Live QPS type, data refreshes every 5 seconds automatically, and the refresh button is disabled. For other graph types, a refresh button is enabled, allowing users to manually update the data as needed.

Interactivity 

Users can hover over any point on the graph to see detailed data for that specific moment, enhancing the granularity of the analysis.

Live QPS Graph

The Live QPS graph is prominently displayed at the top of the SSP Graphs window and provides a comprehensive overview of total QPS across all SSPs for the selected datacenter.

• Blue Line: Represents the total QPS, which includes both HTTP requests and filtered HTTP requests.
• Red Line: Indicates the current limit of QPS for the selected datacenter to help users monitor capacity thresholds.
• Data Table: Displays the Minimum, Maximum, and Average QPS values for the selected 5-minute period.

Each point on the graph represents one second, with a total of 300 dots covering the 5-minute timeline. Users can hover over any dot to see the current QPS value at that specific second.

Individual SSP Graphs

Below the main Live QPS graph, individual graphs for each selected SSP are displayed. These graphs also feature:

• Blue Line: Total QPS for the SSP.
• Red Line: SSP-specific QPS limit.
• Data Table: Shows Minimum, Maximum, and Average values.

Like the main graph, these individual graphs allow users to hover over the timeline to view second-by-second data, providing detailed insights into SSP performance.

By utilizing these features, users of RTB-Stack can effectively monitor and analyze the performance of their SSPs, making informed decisions based on real-time and historical data.

Average Requests Graph

The Total Requests for Data Center graph is prominently displayed within the SSP Graphs section of RTB-Stack, providing a detailed view of total requests for a selected data center. This graph is crucial for monitoring the overall request load and understanding traffic patterns over time.

• Blue Line: Represents the total HTTP and filtered HTTP requests for all SSPs within the selected data center.
• Data Table: Positioned below the graph, this table displays the Minimum, Maximum, and Average requests, offering a quick statistical overview of request volumes during the selected period.

Individual SSP Graphs

View by SSP:

Below the main Total Requests for Data Center graph, individual graphs for each selected SSP are displayed when the "View by SSP" option is chosen. These graphs provide a focused view of request activity for each SSP.

• Blue Line: Shows the total HTTP and filtered HTTP requests for the selected data center for this specific SSP.
• Data Table: Below the graph, it displays the Minimum, Maximum, and Average requests for the SSP, allowing users to assess individual SSP performance.

View by Endpoint:

When the "View by Endpoint" option is selected, the graph displays HTTP and filtered HTTP requests by endpoints of the SSP that have data within the selected data center.

• Multiple Lines of Different Colors: Represents the total HTTP and filtered HTTP requests for the endpoints.
• Data Table: Situated under the graph, this table shows the Minimum, Maximum, and Average requests for each endpoint, facilitating a comparative analysis across different endpoints.
• Endpoint Management: Users can manage the visibility of specific endpoints in the graph by clicking on the corresponding line in the table below the graph, allowing for a customized view that focuses on areas of interest.

These detailed graph views in the SSP Graphs section of RTB-Stack empower users to effectively monitor and analyze the performance of their SSPs and endpoints. The combination of real-time data visibility, flexible time period selection, and interactive features ensures that users have access to comprehensive and actionable performance metrics.

Overlimits Graph

The Overlimits graph is a critical component of the SSP Graphs section within RTB-Stack, designed to monitor and analyze instances where request limits are exceeded. This graph helps users identify and address potential bottlenecks or capacity issues within their platform infrastructure.

• Blue Line: Represents the total overlimits, which are filtered requests that were not processed due to exceeding the maximum allowable requests, for all SSPs within the selected data center.
• Data Table: Located below the graph, this table displays the Minimum, Maximum, and Average counts of overlimit occurrences, providing a clear statistical overview to help users understand the frequency and severity of these events.

Individual SSP Graphs

View by SSP:

When the "View by SSP" option is selected, individual graphs for each SSP display the overlimit occurrences for that specific SSP within the selected data center.

• Blue Line: Shows the total overlimits for the SSP, representing filtered requests that were not processed due to too many requests.
• Data Table: Below the graph, it displays the Minimum, Maximum, and Average counts of overlimit occurrences for the SSP, allowing users to assess how frequently each SSP encounters these issues.

View by Endpoint:

The "View by Endpoint" option provides a detailed breakdown of overlimit occurrences by endpoints of the SSP that have data within the selected data center.

• Multicolor Lines: Each line represents the total overlimits for a different endpoint, allowing users to visually distinguish and compare the frequency of overlimit occurrences across multiple endpoints.
• Data Table: Situated under the graph, this table shows the Minimum, Maximum, and Average counts of overlimit occurrences for each endpoint, facilitating a comparative analysis across different endpoints.
• Endpoint Management: Users can manage the visibility of specific endpoints in the graph by clicking on the corresponding line in the table below the graph, allowing for a customized view that focuses on areas of interest.

These detailed graph views in the Overlimits section of the SSP Graphs empower users to effectively monitor and analyze the performance of their SSPs and endpoints concerning request limit exceedances. The combination of real-time data visibility, flexible time period selection, and interactive features ensures that users have access to comprehensive and actionable performance metrics to maintain optimal operation levels.
