<div>
<h4 id="ad_playback_failures_alerts" data-magellan-target="ad_playback_failures_alerts">AI Alerts: Ad Playback Failures Added to Ads AI Alerts</h4>
<p><b>Feature Update:</b>
</p>
<p><i>Ad Playback Failures</i> is now a supported Ads AI Alerts metric. Ads AI Alerts previously covered the start of the ad only, so an ad that started cleanly and then broke mid-roll surfaced in next-day reporting rather than in real-time. The metric is added by default with a default sensitivity for all Ad customers, is tunable like any other ad metric under <b>AI Alerts</b> > <b>Alert Config</b> > <b>Ad</b>, and participates in the standard AI Alerts diagnostics and root-cause flow. Existing ad alert configurations are unaffected.</p>
<p><b>Use Case:</b>
</p>
<p>Catch failures inside the ad break while the break is still running, instead of reconciling lost impressions the next day.</p>

<h4>Notifications: Mute Rules (Beta) for Condition-Based Alert Muting</h4>
<p><b>Feature Update:</b>
</p>
<p>Mute Rules let you suppress AI Alert notifications for a defined time window based on dimension and/or metric conditions, across one or more notification channels. Choose <b>Mute Specific</b> to silence the alerts that match a condition, or <b>Mute everything except</b> to silence everything else. Rules are defined once, attached to the channels they apply to, and listed by Active, Scheduled, or Expired status. Available in Video, Ads, and App.</p>
<img src="/resources/images/ei_application/ei_release_notes/mute_rules_new_rule.png" class="doc-img" data-width="70" alt="New Mute Rule screen with the name MuteAllExceptiOS, a no-end-date time window, the Mute everything except rule type, a Device Operating System Equals iOS dimension condition, and a Webhook channel" />
<p><i>Creating a Mute Rule — time window, rule type, dimension and metric conditions, and channels.</i></p>
<p><b>Use Case:</b>
</p>
<p>During a known incident or maintenance window, mute just the noisy slice — a single device OS, a specific metric, one webhook target — so on-call teams keep seeing the alerts that matter. Alerts still appear on the Alert Listing page; only the notifications are suppressed.</p>

<p>Enhances AI alert analysis with a separate dashboard dedicated to Video and Ads AI alerts, along with a new Peak Value column.

</p>
<p><b>Use Case:</b>
</p>
<p>Use the AI Alerts dashboard to identify important anomalies and jump to a detailed anomaly analysis with the Root Cause Leads link. In this example, the Root Cause Leads link for the selected alert (Akamai (CDN)) opens the AI Alert Diagnostics page for quick access to the impacted dimensions in the dimension tables. Also, see the peak value details to know the highest value of the metric, helping in the analysis of the issue impacts.</p>
