    Advanced Analytics
    Explore Page

    Explore Page

    The Explore page is your starting point to define the dimensions, measures, and other fields that are used in your report to retrieve, customize, and chart your data.

    Netskope’s Data Collection dropdown provides focused areas of interest by which to analyze data:

    • Page Events
    • Application Events
    • Alerts
    • Transaction Events
    • Incidents – if you select Incidents as your data collection, selected values for the fields are enriched from the Alerts data collection. To learn more: Advanced Analytics Incidents Event Fields
    • Devices
    • SSPM Evaluation Results
    The data collection available to you may vary depending on your Advanced Analytics license for your account, data permissions of the logged in user (RBAC), or enabling a specific product that pairs with the data collection.

    The data shown in an Explore is determined by the dimensions and measures you select from the All Fields and In Use options at the left. A dimension can be thought of as a group or bucket of data. A measure is information about that bucket of data. Dimensions appear as blue columns and measures appear as orange columns in your data table.
