Managing and monitoring your domains
Basically, it is very useful to know, if your domains (e.g. tracking domains) are still working properly. Also, details, like the if DNS settings are still working properly and if domains are in use are important to know.
To launch the domain tool, go to:
Access > Domains
to find an overview of all your domains. Platform domains as well as tracking domains.
Overview and Filters
Created at
Date and time when the tracking domain was registered to the system.
Please note, “old” domains (that existed before launch of the feature) have the date of the first import into the domain tool.
Updated at
last date, when the domain was changed in the Ingenious Platform (e.g. status change from active to deactivated)
Domain target
Basically, the domain target represents the types of domains in the platform.
domain target | explanation |
|---|---|
custom | Domains needed for the platform. Like the domains for admin UI, partner UI or the api domain. |
tracking | Tracking domain (often first party tracking domain) |
external proxy | In rare cases, external proxy domains are used as tracking domains. This represents an exception. |
Reachability
Can the domain be reached and is it accessible? Basically: Is it online?
DNS status
Are the DNS settings (usually the CNAME) working properly. Only domains with correct DNS settings can be used.
Usage
Is the domain in use? For tracking domains this means: Is the domain used by an (active) advertiser?
is used
pase out
unused
Domain status
The status of the domain shows, if it is active or not.
status | explanation |
|---|---|
Activated | Domain is active and can be used: If the DNS record is correctly set up, an activated domain will be SSL certificated. Once the certification is done, the domain is usable. |
Deactivated | A deactivated domain cannot be chosen in advertiser setups, but it remains functional within our system. This status allows platform owners to maintain control over their domains while temporarily restricting their usage. |
Deleted | Once a domain is deleted, it cannot be used within the platform. |
Advertiser
If you are looking for the domain of a specific advertiser, this filter is the correct one.
