Global Secure Access (preview) network traffic dashboard

The Global Secure Access (preview) network traffic dashboard provides you with visualizations of the network traffic acquired by the Microsoft Entra Private and Microsoft Entra Internet Access services. The dashboard compiles the data from your network configurations, including devices, users, and tenants into several widgets that provide you with answers to the following questions:

  • How many active devices are deployed on my network?
  • Was there a recent change to the number of active devices?
  • What are the most used applications?
  • How many unique users are accessing the network across all my tenants?

This article describes each of the widgets and how you can use the data on the dashboard to monitor and improve your network configurations.

Viewing the Global Secure Access dashboard requires a Reports Reader role in Microsoft Entra ID.

To access the dashboard:
