Real-Time Dashboard (Live)

A real-time feed of active visitors, bid wins, no-bids, and viewability events across your sites — powered by a persistent Socket.IO connection to the Advlume real-time server.

The Live dashboard gives you a real-time view of what is happening on your sites right now — active visitors, bid wins as they land, and a rolling feed of auction events. It connects directly to the Advlume real-time server over a persistent WebSocket connection, so every event appears within milliseconds of occurring.

The Live dashboard is accessible from Dashboard → Live in your publisher panel.

What you can see

Active visitors

A live count of browser sessions currently connected on each of your sites. Each tab a visitor has open counts as one session. The count decrements immediately when a visitor navigates away or closes the tab. Visitors are also broken down by country using IP geolocation.

Active pages

The list of URLs currently being viewed across your sites, with a per-page visitor count. URLs are normalised to remove the https:// prefix and capped at 80 characters for display.

Blocked sessions

Sessions where the ADMD traffic quality score returned 1 (high-risk / non-human). Ads are not served to these sessions. The blocked count is shown alongside the total visitor count so you can monitor your IVT rate in real time.

Bid event feed

A live, scrolling list of the most recent auction events across your sites. Each row shows:

Event type — bidWon (Prebid won and creative will render), bidResponse (bid received but did not win), noBid (DSP passed), or bidViewable (rendered ad met IAB 50%/1s viewability threshold)
Slot — the ad slot key the event is for
DSP — the demand partner involved
CPM — the bid price in USD
Size — the creative size
Country — visitor's detected country
Time — milliseconds since the event occurred

The feed retains the last 200 events in memory. Events older than that are dropped from the feed (but are still recorded in the edge database for reporting).

How it works

When your site loads the Advlume wrapper, it opens a Socket.IO connection to the real-time server at advlume.com:6001. As auctions run, the wrapper emits events (bid, bidResponse, noBid, bidViewable) over this connection. The server forwards them in real time to any authorised dashboard session watching the same site.

The dashboard itself also connects via Socket.IO using a signed token tied to your publisher account. Only events from sites you own are forwarded to your dashboard.

What the Live dashboard is not

It is not a reporting tool. Revenue figures in the Live view are instantaneous CPM values from Prebid win events and will not match your finalised GAM revenue. Use the Revenue Report for accurate earnings data.
It is not persistent. If you close the dashboard tab, the event history is gone. Reload restores the last 200 events cached on the server.
It is not a visitor analytics tool. For page-level analytics, visitor behaviour, and bounce rate, use a dedicated analytics platform.
