Searches statuses

In terms of our platform Searches are Ad requests that come from DSPs. Platform should proceed search and return response for the DSP.
Searches statuses table represents numbers of different search handling results. Below we will cover every of this status.
Searches statuses table consists two parts - Searches sent and Unsent searches

Searches sent

Here are statuses for searches that have been actually proceeded by finding SSPs and sending requests to them.

Successful searches

Number of searches with at least one ad returned.

No ads

Number of searches handled by system but with no Ad returned from SSPs.

Bid floor

Number of searches with all ads filtered by bidfloor (bid was too small for value declared in search).

gRPC error, Deadline Exceeded

Technical errors, it's quite normal to see that errors, usually those values are relatively low.


Unsent searches

Here are statuses for searches that have not been actually proceeded. There were no SSP requests. We returned status 204 for that searches.

SubId too long

Subid declared in search query is too long (more than 50 symbols). We don't handle such subids.

Incorrect IP

Value provided in ip field is not correct IPv4 either IPv6 address. We don't handle searches with incorrect ips.

Missing UA

User-agent haven't been provided in query (and UA check is not skipped by Pub feed setting).

Hour searches limit

Searches limited by Hourly searches limit setting of Pub feed.

Day searches limit

Searches limited by Daily searches limit setting of Pub feed.

Hour clicks limit

Searches limited to match Hourly clicks limit setting of Pub feed.

Unique IP limit

Searches filtered by daily clicks limit from single IP.

Pub-Geo throttling limit

Searches that haven't been proceeded because of automatic throttling system. This system optimize servers' workload by skipping some potentially non-profitable searches. It uses statistic of previous hour counting sum of all succesful clicks relatively to number of searches done. This value counts for every "bunch" PubFeed - Country, you can see this value in main statistic's column Searches Income. If this value is lower than certain threshold, searches limit for the next hour will be set for certain "bunch".

Load limit

Searches that have not been proceeded because of temporarily servers overloading. It's norlmal to see this value, it never becomes 0.
