Build a diagnostics report

1. Log in to the ad platform at trafficking.vistarmedia.com.
2. Click Diagnostics. The Network Health Overview tab appears by default. The summary table includes the following information:
   
   

   Header	Description
   Network name	The name of the network.
   Total venue count	The number of venues registered in a given network.
   Requesting venues (today)	The current number of venues (unique venue IDs) requesting ads on that specific day. This is in the local time of the current day. Note that it is possible for the number of requesting venues to be greater than the Total Venue Count, if not all requesting venues are set up in the ad platform.
   Percent (%) of requesting venues (today)	The current percentage of venues requesting ads on that specific day. This is in the local time of the current day.
   Avg. expiration rate (past month)	The number of manually expired spots in the past month (last 30 days) divided by the number of leased spots in the last 30 days, as a percentage.
   Avg. expiration rate (past day)	The number of manually expired spots in the past day divided by the number of leased spots in the past day, as a percentage. For example, if the current day is September 9th, the rate is calculated based on September 8 at 12AM to September 8 at 11:59PM.
   Expiration rate diff	The percentage difference between the average expiration rate (past full day) and average expiration rate (past month). Trending indicators appear to show whether the rate is trending high or low over time. - Blue indicators pointing down—Trending rate is low, which is good. - Red indicators pointing up—Trending rate is high.
   Spend rate (past month)	The number of reported spots (also known as spent spots) in the last 30 days divided by the number of leased spots.
   Spend rate (past day)	The number of spent spots in the past day divided by the number of leased spots.
   Spend rate diff	The percentage difference between the spend rate (past day) and spend rate (past month). Trending indicators appear to show whether the rate is trending high or low over time. - Blue indicators pointing up—Trending rate is high, which is good. - Red indicators pointing down—Trending rate is low, meaning the network spend rate is lower than it was in the previous month.

3. (Optional) Click the header name of a column to change the order of the table.
4. Click Export. A CSV file downloads to your computer, which includes a list of every network that is currently live in production.

Note that when you open the exported report, the following three columns appear in addition to the columns listed in step 2:

• Requesting Venues (Past Month)—The sum total of venues that requested in the past 30 days.
• % of Requesting Venues (Past Month)—The percentage of venues that made ad requests in the past 30 days. This is calculated by dividing the value in the column Requesting Venues (Past Month) by the total number of venues in the network.
• Requesting Venues Diff—This is the percentage difference of requesting venues (Past Day versus the Past Month).
