| Dashboards | Description |
|---|---|
| Ads | The Ads dashboard provides access to real-time and historical ad metric data which can be used to analyze and identify changes in key ad delivery, quality, and performance. You can view summary metrics and time series, as well as drill-down into dimension performance using one-click and combinatorial filters. You can also view time series charts of metric progress within the selected period and quickly jump to diagnostics. |
| Real-Time | The Ad Real-Time dashboard provides a visual presentation of ad metrics for actionable streaming intelligence in real time. Enhanced by selected filters and dimensions, you can monitor the performance of your most critical streaming KPIs with visual threshold crossing indicators to quickly identify and correlate changes in ad metrics. With up to 20 filters and 200 monitored dimension values per Real-Time dashboard, you can customize the dashboard settings to focus on the most critical performance, such as Live traffic across channels for tent pole events or All Traffic across assets for on-going operations. |
| Alerts | The Ad Alerts page shows a list of all the Ads alert notifications for your account, and enables you to set up and manage ad alerts. |
| AI Alerts | The Ads AI Alerts feature offers instant alerts to help shorten time to resolution for ad issues involving lost ad impressions (Ad Start Failures), creative quality (Ad Average Bitrate and Ad Rebuffering Ratio), and slate durations (% Slate Durations). The Conviva Ads AI Alerting system continuously checks for ad issues that exceed the configured metric settings and when exceeded, fires an AI alert for the affected Line Item (Ad Id) and Ad Creative (Creative Id) with contribution level and impacted ad sessions grouped by operating system, ad system, and player values. |
| Custom | The Custom Dashboard enables the analysis of ad metric distributions and customized combinations of ad metrics. Use the Saved Dashboards tab to access custom dashboards. |
