This dashboard helps you understand how traffic flows through your network, including on-ramps (how traffic enters Cloudflare, such as the [Cloudflare One Client](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/team-and-resources/devices/cloudflare-one-client/), [proxy endpoints (PAC files)](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/resolvers-and-proxies/proxy-endpoints/), [Browser Isolation](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/remote-browser-isolation/), or Cloudflare Tunnel) and off-ramps (how traffic exits Cloudflare, such as the public Internet or a [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/)). The dashboard is based on the [Zero Trust network sessions Logpush dataset](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/logs/logpush/logpush-job/datasets/account/zero%5Ftrust%5Fnetwork%5Fsessions/). For definitions on any field, refer to the dataset schema documentation. To review Network session analytics: 1. In the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/), go to **Zero Trust** \> **Insights** \> **Dashboards**. 2. Select **Network session analytics**. Refer to [Insights overview](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/) to learn how to use Analytics dashboards together with [Analytics Overview](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/analytics-overview/) and [Digital Experience Monitoring (DEX)](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/) for complete visibility and troubleshooting. ## Use cases The Network session analytics dashboard helps you: * **Understand traffic patterns**: Visualize how traffic flows through your network infrastructure. * **Monitor bandwidth usage**: Track upload, download, and total bytes transferred across your network. * **Identify connection issues**: Analyze connection close reasons to troubleshoot network problems. * **Track user and device activity**: Monitor unique users and devices accessing your network. ## Provided analytics ### Summary metrics * **Session count**: Total number of network sessions. Each session represents an individual TCP, UDP, ICMP, or ICMPv6 flow that passes through Gateway. * **Bytes total**: Total bytes transferred (upload + download) * **Unique users**: Number of distinct users ### Traffic by location * **World map**: Geographic visualization of network traffic by the Cloudflare data center where traffic entered the network (ingress) and where it exited (egress) * **Location list**: Top Cloudflare data center locations by ingress and egress session count with accompanying graph * **Change**: Shows the total change across ingress and egress for each location ### Top analytics * **Top protocols**: Most used network protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP, ICMPv6) * **Top connection close reasons**: Common reasons for session termination: * Client closed * Origin closed * Client idle timeout * Client error * Unknown * Client TLS error * Origin unreachable * Too many new sessions for user * Origin TLS error * Origin unroutable For the full list of reasons for session termination, refer to [ConnectionCloseReason](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/logs/logpush/logpush-job/datasets/account/zero%5Ftrust%5Fnetwork%5Fsessions/#connectionclosereason). ## Related resources * [Zero Trust network sessions Logpush dataset](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/logs/logpush/logpush-job/datasets/account/zero%5Ftrust%5Fnetwork%5Fsessions/): View detailed logs for individual network sessions. * [Gateway network policies](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/traffic-policies/network-policies/): Configure policies that apply to network traffic.
