Amazon Ad Server (AAS) includes two daily reports that monitor delivery performance and pacing across all campaigns served from AAS.

  • Publisher Delivery Analysis report: Offers basic impression details and added details on user engagement.

  • Publisher Over/Under Delivery report: Provides more details about pacing.

Note

Notes:

  • Ad Server Support can subscribe a site to one or both of the automatic daily reports. These reports include data from the campaign lifetime date range for all live campaigns. Each row in the report includes data for the complete report date range. Campaigns are considered live if one of the following conditions is met:

    • The end date for a placement is the current date or a future date.

    • A placement is still delivering but the end date has passed. In this case, the placement status changes to live when it passes the 1000 impression threshold within the last 24 hours.

  • The time zone for the reports is UTC.

  • Calculations refer to ordered impressions.
