Each time an ad decision request is made, a Request log, Decision log, and Selection log will be generated.
Note: if no ad is selected, then a Selection log will not be created.

Decision Logs

The ad serving engine makes a decision from the request as to which ad (if any) to return in the response. Every placement sent in the request will receive its own decision, so one request could generate ten decisions if there are ten placements.
