# Transaction Bot Monitoring

### What is Transaction Bot Monitoring?

Transaction Bot Monitoring is primarily used for on-chain transaction monitoring.

### Typical Scenarios of Transaction Bot Monitoring

1. Monitoring transactions from a specific sender
2. Monitoring transactions to a specific recipient
3. Sending alerts when ETH is greater than or less than a target threshold
4. Monitoring transactions with a specific methodId
