Analyzing Error Code Diagnostics
The Ads view provides a detailed analysis of error codes for consolidated for Ad Start Failure (ASF) and Ad Playback Failure (APF) metrics. Error codes are consolidated across these metrics for simplified analysis.
To drill into the behavior and performance related to an error code, click the ASF or APF metric in the Metric list.
The error codes appear in the Error Code column.
To analyze the causes of the errors, click an error code with a high number of impacted devices to view detailed analytical data.
The analysis page appears with a time series for the error tracking and total vs. impacted time series for the secondary metric, in this case Ad Attempts.
Note: Secondary metric data is displayed as a logarithmic scale, so both Ad Attempts and ASF data can be displayed on the same chart.
In addition, dimension and dimension values enable detailed performance analysis.
In the error code time series, select a time range related to an anomaly, such as a spike in ASF errors. The secondary metric and dimension data update to reflect the selected time range.
Additional error codes can be selected to further analyze the impact of multiple errors.
Clicking an error code highlights the impact of the error in the secondary metric time series and dimension values.
While several error codes may appear simultaneously, typically one error code will be most impacting of specific spikes in ASF and APF errors.
