What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides visibility into web traffic and security signals by querying Zscaler Analytics (Z-Insights) to help admins understand usage, detect anomalies, and plan capacity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Traffic by Location: Identify top offices/regions generating traffic for capacity planning.
  • Protocol Distribution: Assess HTTPS adoption versus HTTP and other protocols.
  • DLP & Threat Insights: Filter and analyze DLP violations and threat categories to enforce policies.
  • Volume Trends: Track traffic trends over 7- or 14-day windows for proactive capacity and security adjustments.
  • Use Case: When asked "Show me traffic by location" or "What is our HTTPS adoption?", run a Z-Insights web traffic analysis to produce a summarized report.

Quick Start

Query web traffic patterns for the past 7 days by location and protocol using Z-Insights.
