Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection Administrator's Guide

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 Analytics page. Additional tabs may appear based on your license - for example, Salesforce and Entra ID tabs for applicable SKUs.

Policy evaluation types:

The statistics shown on the Analytics 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:

  • The first week of each month.

  • Tenant upgrade (if applicable).

  • Policy configuration change that requires reevaluation.

To known when the full evaluation is occurred, navigate to Administration > Storage > Stor > General > Policy evaluation section.

View the timestamp of the Policy full evaluation last ran field.

Incremental evaluation

Occurs at a configurable interval.

Set the Policy evaluation interval (in minutes) under Administration > Storage > Stor Name > General.

This interval determines how frequently incremental policy execution occurs.

Refresh behavior:

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.
