Tag uptime and signal volume

Two views answer the two everyday questions about your tags: is everything firing right now? (Tag Uptime) and how much is each signal sending, and is that normal? (Signal volume).

Tag Uptime shows an hour-by-hour strip for every property, drilling down to each vendor and each individual event. Every cell is scored by the anomaly engine against that hour’s seasonal expectation — not mere presence. A tag limping at 10% of its normal volume is not green.

Cell states:

  • Healthy — the hour landed inside its expected band.
  • Degraded — traffic arrived, but well below expectation.
  • Not firing — the hour expected traffic and got none.
  • No traffic expected — quiet hours (3 a.m. on a B2B site) don’t count against you.

Tag uptime — each hour scored against its seasonal expectation, per vendor

The uptime percentage is computed only over hours that expected traffic — a signal that was idle all window shows as idle, not a misleading 100%. Signals that are configured on a property but have never been observed are listed explicitly with a configured — no data yet badge, so a silent tag can’t just vanish from the screen.

Open issues attach to the row where they were filed — property, vendor or event — and link straight through. Windows: 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days, always ending at the last completed hour.

Signal volume is the catalog of every vendor-event signal with its volume over the selected window, its change versus the prior period, and a trend sparkline. Expand any row for the engine’s expected-vs-actual chart — the same series behind Auto Alerts and issue pages.

The default grouping is by label: an AI labeler buckets events that behave like the same user action, so a GA4 purchase, a Meta Purchase and a TikTok CompletePayment roll up under one “Purchase” bucket instead of vendor spaghetti. Labeling runs daily; new signals are named on the next pass, or you can label them immediately under Labels. Labels are first-class everywhere else too — journey alerts and alert conditions can target a label bucket and cover every vendor spelling at once.

Signal volume — events bucketed by meaning, with expected-vs-actual trends

Regroup by vendor or property, sort by volume or biggest drops, and filter freely — every control lives in the URL, so a filtered view is a shareable link.

The environment toggle switches between production and dev-script traffic; the two are never mixed. A quiet banner also flags signals seen only in dev over the last week — a tag that made it to staging but never shipped.
