Network analytics

Cloudflare Network Analytics (version 2) provides near real-time visibility into network and transport-layer traffic patterns and DDoS attacks. Network Analytics visualizes packet and bit-level data, the same data available via the Network Analytics dataset of the GraphQL Analytics API.

Requirements

Network Analytics requires the following:

• A Cloudflare Enterprise plan.
• Cloudflare Magic Transit or Spectrum.
• Cloudflare Magic WAN.

For a technical deep-dive into Network Analytics, refer to our blog post.

Remarks

• The Network Analytics logs refer to IP traffic of Magic Transit customer prefixes/leased IP addresses or Spectrum applications. These logs are not directly associated with the zones in your Cloudflare account.

• The data retention for Network Analytics is 16 weeks. Additionally, data older than eight weeks might have lower resolution when using narrow time frames.
