Bidstream monitor: seeing every request, win, loss and timeout

Running an exchange means debugging other people's traffic. The Programmatic ADX includes a bidstream monitor so you can see what actually happens between your supply and demand partners.

What it shows

  • Live requests and responses flowing through the exchange.
  • Win, loss and timeout reasons per partner, so you know why a buyer is not winning.
  • Timeout tracking per partner, to spot slow endpoints.

The monitor first shipped in ADX v1.3 (October 2025) and was extended in v2.2 (April 2026).

How operators use it

  1. A demand partner says it is not winning. Check its loss reasons: floor too high, slow responses or no bids at all.
  2. A supply partner's revenue drops. Check whether its requests still reach the right buyers or are being shaped away.
  3. A new integration goes live. Watch the first requests and responses before sending full volume.

Related tools on the ADX
