This article describes Cato's Application Analytics report that highlights data related to application usage and traffic data for your account.
Cato provides a Predefined Report template that summarizes application usage and traffic in your account. Create the template for the Predefined Report with the sites and SDP users that are included in the report over the defined time range. Then you can generate a report for the defined time range, and download it as a PDF that you can easily share in your organization.
By default, the Predefined Report template for the Application Analytics reports shows traffic and data for all sites and SDP users for the past week. You can filter the template to only show specific sites or SDP users in the report. In addition, you can customize the time range for the report.
For more about working with Predefined Reports, see Cato Reports.
