Network Analytics

Magic WAN customers can view their real-time and historical network data in Network Analytics. Customers can see their network data in a time series that shows Magic WAN traffic (in packets or bytes) over time, and can filter the time series data by different types of packet characteristics.

To start using Network Analytics:

  1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard ↗ and select your account.
  2. Select Analytics & Logs > Network Analytics.
  3. You will have access to an overview of your Magic WAN network traffic data.

Refer to Network Analytics to learn more.

Network traffic data filters

Customers can filter the data in Network Analytics on different packet characteristics including:

  • Source and destination IP address
  • Source and destination IP prefix
  • Source and destination port
  • Magic Tunnel (IPsec or GRE)
  • ASN
  • Protocol
  • Cloudflare mitigation system applied
  • TTL
  • TCP Flags

Magic Tunnel traffic analytics

  1. Go to the Cloudflare dashboard ↗ and select your account.

  2. Select Analytics & Logs > Network Analytics.

  3. In the All Traffic tab, scroll to Top Insights to access the Source tunnel and Destination tunnel panels. Here you can examine information from your top tunnels by traffic volume.

  4. You can also apply filters to adjust the scope of information displayed. Scroll to All traffic > Add filter.

  5. In the New filter popover, choose what type of data you want to display from the left dropdown menu, an operator from the middle dropdown menu, and an action from the right dropdown menu. For example:

    <DESTINATION_TUNNELS> | _equals_ | <NAME_OF_YOUR_TUNNEL>

    This lets you examine traffic from specific Source tunnels and/or Destination tunnels.

Feature notes

  • For Magic Transit customers, Non-tunnel traffic will often represent traffic from the public Internet or traffic via CNIs.
  • For Magic WAN customers, Non-tunnel traffic refers to traffic outside of GRE or IPsec tunnels. This can include traffic from:

The label Non-Tunnel traffic is a placeholder, and more specific labels will be applied to this category of traffic in the near future.
