AWS Elemental MediaTailor adds in-console analytics dashboard for ad monetization and streaming performance

AWS Elemental MediaTailor introduces an analytics dashboard built into the AWS Management Console, allowing publishers to view ad monetization and streaming performance globally across multiple regions. The dashboard displays key business metrics such as fill rate, ad impression rate, video completion rate, and impression recovery data, showing how many billable impressions are recovered through MediaTailor's server-side beacon retry logic. Available in all AWS regions where MediaTailor is offered, the dashboard uses Amazon CloudWatch, which includes a free tier. Some components use ListMetrics API calls and incur charges beyond the free tier. Additional streaming metrics, reporting dimensions, and visualizations will be added in future releases.
