| Inventory matches | The number of potential queries, based on your pretargeting settings. Learn more |
| Bid requests | The number of bid requests sent to your bidder. The number of bid requests may be less than inventory matches, because of quota limits or callout rates below 100%. Learn more |
| Successful responses | The number of properly formed bid responses received by our servers within the timeout. |
| Bids | The number of bid responses with an ad. |
| Bids in Auction | The number of unfiltered bids that have entered the auction. |

| Ad Impressions |
The total number of times an ad was displayed. |
| Measurable impressions | The number of ad impressions measured for viewability. |
| Viewable impressions |
The number of viewable impressions. Display ads are considered viewable when at least 50% of the ad is visible for at least 1 second. Video ads are considered viewable when at least 50% of the ad is visible while the video is playing for at least 2 consecutive seconds. Only ads measured for viewability can be considered viewable. |
| Error throttling |
The number of callouts per second that matched the bidder's pretargeting settings, but were not sent as bid requests to the bidder. This is triggered when more than 15% of the responses are invalid or timed out. If triggered, it will decrease the amount of callouts until either the error rate is less than 15%, or the number of bid requests goes down to some minimal amount of callouts. Learn more |
