ExtremeAnalytics Report Descriptions


The Analytics tab lets you view and customize ExtremeAnalytics reports and application flow data, as well as manage and configure your ExtremeAnalytics engines.

  NOTE: ExtremeAnalytics reports and application flow data is not available unless an ExtremeAnalytics engine is configured and you are a member of an authorization group assigned the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine ExtremeAnalytics Read Access or Read/Write Access capability.

Report Descriptions

In the Reports tab, you can access a selection of reports that provide detailed information on application usage on your network, as well as network activity statistics based on application, user name, client, and site. For many of the reports, you can select an item in the report to view details or right-click an item to select from other focused reports.
