The following metrics are shown in events per second:

Metric	Definition
Available impressions	The total number of impressions on the exchange. Note: May not be available when filtering by certain trading locations.
Configured quota	The maximum number of callouts per second your bidder is configured to receive, as set by your account team or via the REST API. Learn more
Spend-based quota	The number of queries that we will attempt to send your bidder based on your last 7 day spend.
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.
Auctions won	The number of auctions won by your bidder.
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-Throttled Requests	The number of queries 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
