  •  , Ad Playback Failure Distribution, and Ad Playback Failure Error Names to analyze the overall % of APFs, the most frequent duration before APFs, and the most common APF errors.  
  •   vs Ad Rebuffering RatioDistribution,   vs  

This table provides a list of the available Ads Custom dashboard widgets. 

Custom Dashboard Description
% Slate Duration (beta) View the percentage of live server-side ad session time during which ad slates played.
% Slate Plays (beta)

View the percentage of live server-side Ad Attempts that played ad slates rather than server-side ads.

View the average percentage of your ad content that was displayed at the end of viewing sessions during the selected time range. You can click any data point to see the average percent completed for ads that ended at that time.
Ad Actual Duration View the actual duration of ad plays in seconds.
Ad Attempts View a time series of the attempted .

Ad Average Bitrate

View a time series of the   metric.
Ad Average Bitrate Distribution View a distribution of  across a series of predefined bitrate (in Kbps) buckets (i.e. 0-500, 500-1000,). The buckets represent different ranges of bitrate, and each bucket displays the number of  that fall into that range. In real-time, this metric calculates ad plays of a specific bitrate range that ended in the last 60 seconds, ignoring sessions that are still active. For a selected period, each bucket displays the count of ad plays in that bitrate range that ended in that time period. This distribution can help you to understand your audience tolerance for bitrate performance and illustrates the actual impact of any bitrate outliers on the number of  .
