Configuring Data Explorer Views

Data Explorer provides the flexibility to build and organize your own customized views of applications and metrics to analyze data. To learn more about monitoring Data Explorer views, see Monitoring Data Explorer Views.

Prerequisites

Before configuring a view in Data Explorer, make sure your Digital Experience Monitoring subscription level supports Data Explorer. To learn more, see Ranges & Limitations.

Creating a View

You have the option to create a view from either End User or Hosted Monitoring data. To learn more about Hosted Monitoring, see Understanding Zscaler Hosted Monitoring.

To begin creating your view:

  1. Go to Analytics > Digital Experience Management > Reporting > Data Explorer.

  2. Click Create New View.

Create a View for End User Monitoring

To create a view for End User Monitoring:

  1. On the Untitled View page, select End User Monitoring from the Data Source drop-down menu.
  2. Use the time range filter and the page filter options to narrow the results of your view. Some filters are unavailable if your selected time range is greater than 48 hours. Your time range also determines the granularity of the data displayed in the charts:
    • If 24 Hours or less, data is displayed in 5-minute intervals.
    • If greater than 24 Hours but less than (or equal to) 14 Days, data is displayed in 1-hour intervals.
  3. Structure your view:

    • Click Add to specify the applications for your view:

      • If you select a UCaaS (Call Quality) application, you can add other UCaaS applications for your view.
      • If you select a non-UCaaS application, you can add other non-UCaaS applications for your view.

      The applications you select determine the particular metrics that are available. The number of applications you can add depends on your Digital Experience Monitoring subscription level. To learn more, see Ranges & Limitations.

  5. Click Save to keep your view for future access. To learn more, see Monitoring Data Explorer Views.
