Analytics page and refresh behavior
The Analytics page in Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection provides key insights into the size and item count of your backed-up data. You can use this page to view:
Size and item count of backed-up data
Blocked activities
User role assignments
Legal hold data
User trends (for example, number of users added over time)
These insights are organized into tabs on the left side of the page. Additional tabs may appear based on your license - for example, Salesforce and Entra ID tabs for applicable SKUs.
The statistics shown on the page are updated based on policy evaluations. This includes both system-defined policies and custom policies created by administrator.
Table:
Policy evaluation type | When it happens |
|---|---|
Full evaluation | Occurs in the following scenarios:
To known when the full evaluation is occurred, navigate to > > Stor > > section. View the timestamp of the field. |
Incremental evaluation | Occurs at a configurable interval. Set the under > > > . This interval determines how frequently incremental policy execution occurs. |
If data is deleted by a Deletion policy, the size shown for that Stor may not reflect the change until the next full evaluation occurs. Always check the refresh time displayed in each section or chart. When multiple Stors or scopes are selected, the most recent update time is displayed.
