Feature request: timeouts and no bid timeToRespond in AUCTION_END

[EskelCz]

Type of issue

Question

Description

I have two questions about the auction data attached to the EVENTS.AUCTION_END event in analytics adapter:

1. Why do noBids have no timeToRespond?
2. Do I get it right that timed out requests are not included at all? Is there a way to get to a list of timeouts for the auction?

We would like to start gathering this information and it doesn't seem straight forward.

1. Because no one asked for it until now. There's something similar available under metrics.getMetrics(); adapter.client.total (or adapter.s2s.total for requests going through the PBS adapter) is roughly equivalent to timeToRespond.
   

2. there's a separate BID_TIMEOUT event:

   Prebid.js/src/auction.js

   Line 207 in 8832e84

   events.emit(EVENTS.BID_TIMEOUT, timedOutRequests);

   but it makes sense to make these available in AUCTION_END as well.

Ok, thanks for the answers and marking it as a feature request. These two things would simplify processing this information a lot.
