We relaunched our website a couple of months back and since then the sessions and revenue data reported for DV360 insertion orders has fallen to 10% of it's pre-launch numbers. While the numbers reported in Display channel within Channel reporting has not been affected. dbm/cpm as source/medium within Display Channel has remained consistent. The impressions numbers have not changed.
We use auto-tagging to for both AdWords and DV360 systems. We had turned it off and went to utm tags but it didn't help the issue.
On the landing page I see the correct dclid parameter and which is also sent in the /collect request to the google-analytics servers.
I'm seeing 2 warnings from the gtm.js library in Chrome browser console which could be related to this issue but I didn't find any information about them online.These are the errror messages:
unrecognized feature:'attribution-reporting'
unrecognized feature: 'conversion measurement'
Please see the screenshot. We have enabled "enable display advertising features" in Google Tag Manager.
Chrome Developer Tools warning sreenshot
Could anyone point to probable reasons for this drop in DV360 and how to fix it?

I believe I have followed the instructions for adding Google Tag Manager to the letter -- including adding the scripts to all pages of my website. I then added the tag for Google Analytics 4. I have tested this tag many times via the Preview and Debug mode in Google Analytics. In debug mode, I could see when pages were loading, in terms of the basic functions. I have also gone live and have supposedly had this functioning for a few weeks now. If I monitor the Real-Time Report in Google Analytics , then call up my website, I can see my activities showing up including additional tags for monitoring YouTube videos and their progress. When monitoring the Network activity in the browser debug tools, I see data is being sent and replies (presumably from Google) acknowledging them with a 204 thumbs up.If I go to another computer under another name, I can also get those visits to show in the Real-Time data. However, there has been no data accumulating for website visitors. My website is new and does not get a lot of hits, but it gets many more than GA is reporting. I see something like 23 for the last three weeks. Cloudflare Analytics shows over 1,100 unique visitors in the last month with between 30 and 97 new visitors per day. There must be something simple I have missed but I cannot seem to find the answer anywhere through searches or YouTube video aids. How can I install GA4 and know for sure that the data is being accumulated by Analytics at Google? I really want this to work.

I have started using GMP on an eCommerce website as I am concerned about transactions not being tracked correctly due to ad blockers and subsequently the conversion data in Adwords being incorrect.
However, I've started using it and I've found it to be a nightmare to get to work as you'd expect. I found this question still unanswered which is worrying!!
Measurement protocol transactions from Google Analytics to Google AdWords
However, my question is similar. But not the same. I'd like to know if I'm supposed to set the referrer, source & medium only once? For the first request?
i.e. Lets say someone clicks an eCommerce shopping ad (So it has a glid). Comes onto the site. And I set the medium to cpc and the source to google.
Then they start to browse around the site before making a purchase. The referrer will then be registered as the current domain and the source and medium will not be recorded.
Is this correct? As currently it's attributing all conversions to the site itself and not to google even though I am passing in the glid on the first request.
I have to debug the following message which I get in google analytics:
The data view XY was configured for e-commerce, but no data is transmitted.
This is the site.
As you can see in the source code, the tag manager is implemented properly, and a network analysis shows that data is transmitted, I get status code 200.
I used the extension "Google Tag Assistant", it showed that everything works fine (go to the site and click on something, then you will get this:)
As you can see it works. So why do I get this message?
Could you show us a little bit more what you have setup in GTM? As far as i can see i assume you should be getting pageviews since the beacons are correct:
But im also seeing you have some kind of event that wont work cause your Action and Category are undefined and Analytics says this fields are mandatory.
If you are not even seeing the pageviews you may have your UA-45904794-4 wrong (Or not well configured on GTM) or a filter on Google Analytics that shouldnt be there.
If you have any further questions just ask and i ll edit this and add more information.
Hope it helps!
You can check that you don't have ecommerce tracking in the container:
Since you do not, you should disable it in analytics on the property:
This warning means that according to the Analytics property settings you intend to track ecommerce data, but you are not sending any.
Or you can finish setting up ecommerce and publish the resulting container. For example, by following that section in the quick start guide:
According to google analytic my site is not receiving hits. I have added the google analytic code in the head section of the site, in all the pages.
When I checked the site using Google Tag Assistant, it gave an error that "No HTTP response detected". What does this mean? Is this the reason why my site is not receiving hits?
"No HTTP response detected" means that no information is sent to the Google Analytics tracking servers (actually rather that it does not arrive there), so yes, that is the reason why you do not see any interactions in Google Analytics.
One possible reason is that you have an adblocker (this would be part of the complete error message).
If I recall correctly the same error will show up in the Tag Assistant if you have entered a wrong value for the cookie domain, so you might want to check that is set correctly when you create the tracker (setting it to auto is usually the easiest way):
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');
Have a look at your browsers developement tools, the browser console will probably have additional error messages.

since these days, Google Analytics start to show message "Bad Event Tracking Code" for several my projects. Even for one mobile app profile.
The message:
"The Landing Pages report has a (not set) entry. Verify that tracking code for property Mobilni Aplikace sends a _trackPageview hit and that it does this before sending any events."
I didn't change anything in these projects, so I don't understand what Google Analytics want.
Has somebody similar issue?
Thanks
Google Analytics just recently added a means of notifying you of problems so you didn't have to change anything to cause this issue. It could be preexisting.
EDIT: Solution 1 and 2 may help, but what worked was "Solution 3" -- Upgrade to Universal Analytics and increase session length.
Solution 1 - Send less tracking data
If the Google Analytics property is for a high traffic site without Google Analytics Premium you are limited to 10 million hits per month including events Data Limits - Analytics Help. In this case analytics may have recorded a user's event but the pageview was ignored to keep your account within limits.
If you could be flirting with this limit try sending less event tracking by reinventing or removing some event tracking entirely. If you are blatantly violating the data limits track only a subset of users by setting the Sample Rate in your analytics.js (or ga.js) code.
Solution 2 - Find the problematic event code
If you are not going over the data limits you have an event being sent before a pageview.
Methods of debugging "(not set) entry present in reports for property" are described on this page What the value (not set) means - Analytics Help.
Verifying this issue:
Go to the Analytics property with the issue and click Behavior reports > Site Content > Landing Pages
If you see landing page = (not set), this is generally due to a session with no page or screen view level hits included.
It’s possible to have a session that doesn’t include a page or a screen view, but does include another kind of interaction hit type, like an Events or Ecommerce hit type.
Debugging this issue:
Identify which hit type is causing the issue:
use the advanced filter (found at the top of the data table) to
restrict the data to include page/screen views matching exactly 0
For each of these 3 reports:
Behavior > Events
Acquisition > Social > Plugins
Conversions > Ecommerce reports
Note: The "page/screen views" dimension may have disappeared in advanced filters under those reports, I will update this answer when I find out more.
Solution 3 - Session is expiring before user leaves site
You can configure a visitor's session length for your property in Session Settings under Tracking Info.
The default length of time for a session or campaign. An individual session or campaign for a given user ends after the amount of time specified here has passed (counting from the start of the session or campaign), so long as the session or campaign has not been stopped though another means. Learn more about Learn more about session and campaign timeout handling.
If the user's session expires but they haven't left the page and another event triggers there will be no page view before the event has triggered. In this case your site would fall under this category:
The length of a session and campaign depends on your site and business. Here are a few ideas to get you started thinking about session and campaign timeouts:
Lengthen the session time if you have a lot of content and expect users to take a long time engaging with that content. Conversely, shorten the session time if the site has a small amount of content. 5
Increase the session length under Session Settings so these events will still have an associated pageview.
Note: You can only configure the session length if you're using Universal Analytics.
Google Analytics is currently in the process of migrating to a new operating system, the tracking code you have given in the comments appears to be the classic code. based on the information you have given in relation to your application, I believe you would be affected by phase 2 of the migration which has recently taken place
You can find a timeline of migrations along with instructions about how to upgrade your applications the the new analytics.js tracking code here:
