Supply Reports

Supply reports are run by default if no demand dimensions or filters are selected. Supply reports include Ad Pod metrics.

NumbersTotal CallsAll requests to supply tag - every time that SpringServe is pinged

NumbersFallback RequestsRequests that go to a fallback supply tag in a router after the routed supply tag returns an empty VAST

NumbersRequests

Requests which pass supply targeting and were not blocked by Pre-Bid IVT filtering

Total Calls - Blocked (Targeting) - Blocked (Pre-Bid IVT)
NumbersBlocked (Total)All unusable requests blocked by supply targeting and Pre-Bid IVT filteringBlocked (Targeting) + Blocked (Pre-Bid IVT)Lots of blocked requests mean that your supply partner is sending inventory that does not pass supply tag targeting. Confirm that they have targeting applied on their side.
NumbersBlocked (Targeting)Unusable requests blocked by supply tag, router, partner, and account level targeting

NumbersRouter Missed OppsNumber of times a request passes router targeting but does not pass targeting on any of the underlying supply tags
only visible when Router is dim/filter
NumbersOpps

VPAID: Number of times the supply tag VPAID unit is initialized

VAST only: Number of times the supply tag returns a non-empty vast response


Low Opportunity numbers can be indicative of being low on the waterfall of your Supply Partner.
NumbersMissed OppsNumber of times the request passes supply tag targeting but does not pass targeting on any of demand tags on the waterfall
If a tag has a lot of Missed Opportunities, align more demand that meets supply tag targeting or add supply tag targeting to align better with existing demand. In the second case, make sure to share your targeting with your supply partner
NumbersImpsNumber of times an ad is served

NumbersBreakout ImpsNumber of times a breakout bid that led to demand competing in first look which resulted in an impression

Breakout Imps are a subset of total imps and are indicative of only those instances when a breakout bid resulted in an impression.

For example, If the total imps on a supply tag is 100 and Breakout imps are 20, it means that of the 100 impressions, 20 were breakout impressions.

Numbers Duplicate ImpsSame impression pixel fires more than once for the same auction

NumbersStartsThe player start playing the ad

NumbersPlayer LoadsNumber of times that a player loads
Player load events are recorded based on the firing of the player tracking pixel.

CalculationsBlocked % (Total)Percentage of requests blocked by IVT and supply targetingBlocked (Total) / Total CallsIf a tag has a high blocked %, it is returning an empty VAST response to your supply partner and they may view your tag as a poor performer.

CalculationsOpp %Percentage of requests that result in an opportunityOpportunities / RequestsIf a tag has a low opportunity %, it is likely low on the waterfall of your supply partner. Ask what you can do to get higher on the waterfall; this may entail going on a white list or having request caps implemented on your tag to prove that your tag can fill if given more opportunities.

If errors are high, reexamine your demand, because the request is going all the way down the waterfall without being filled.

Response MetricsTimeoutsNumber of times the player closes after VPAID has initialized and no ad is returned
If this number is high and the VPAID Window is high, your tag is given a long time to fill but never does; reexamine your demand. If this number is high and the VPAID Window is low, talk to your Supply Partner about why you are being timed out so quickly.

Demand Reports

These metrics are shown when including Demand dimensions or filters, on the Demand Tag page, and the Waterfall tab of a Supply Tag.

MetricDefinitionCalculationTroubleshooting Notes
NumbersAd ReqsNumber of times a demand tag receives a request

NumbersAdsNumber of times a demand tag returns a non-empty VAST response
An impression cannot be served when there is no Ad returned. When the number of Ads is low, your demand partner is returning empty VAST responses. This usually happens when there is a misalignment in targeting or required macros are not being passed. Any demand tag macros must be implemented on the Supply Tag in order to be passed.
NumbersOpps

VPAID: Number of times the demand tag VPAID is initialized

VAST Only: Number of times a demand tag wins a broadcast and has a chance to serve



NumbersImpsNumber of times the ad request results in an impression

NumbersBreakout ImpsNumber of times a breakout bid that led to demand competing in first look which resulted in an impression

Breakout Imps are a subset of total imps and are indicative of only those instances when a breakout bid resulted in an impression.

For example, If the total imps on a demand tag is 100 and Breakout imps are 20, it means that of the 100 impressions, 20 were breakout impressions.
