Pixel Activity Monitor

The Pixel Activity Monitor can be enabled as an On-Site pixel module and serves as a tool to verify the DMP pixel is active on the website. It will pop-up as a floating and draggable element in your browser and shows all data events that are initiated by the implemented pixel script. This also includes interaction events like ‘Time on Page’, ‘Page Scroll’, and ‘Form Interactions’ that are originating from the default pixel modules. Please note that this module is not available by default.

A step-by-step guide on how to enable the Pixel Activity Monitor:

  1. Reach out to your DMP Account Manager to activate this module..
  2. Go to Data Collection and create a new Pixel or choose an existing one. 
  3. Tick the box to enable the Pixel Activity Monitor for this Pixel and click on Save and Export.
  4. Browse to the corresponding website and add http://www.sitedomain.com?flx1debug=1 to the URL.

Note that the tool can also be used for demo purposes. An extension like Greasemonkey (Firefox) can be used to automatically run the Pixel script on a given website.
