How does an administrator access reporting and analytics in Zscaler?

To access reporting and analytics in Zscaler, the administrator connects to the User Interface (UI) server. The UI server is specifically designed to provide a comprehensive view of the analytics and reporting features that Zscaler offers. This interface allows administrators to visualize data, generate reports on user activity, threats, application usage, and other metrics essential for monitoring and managing security policies effectively.

The UI is the primary method for administrators to interact with the Zscaler platform, as it provides an intuitive layout and tools for navigating and interpreting the data collected by the system. Utilizing the UI server, an administrator can customize reports and leverage real-time analytics to make informed decisions about network security and performance.

The other methods mentioned do not align with how Zscaler is designed to provide access to its reporting tools. Querying a local database or accessing a Command Line Interface (CLI) server would not give you the rich visual insights and management features that the UI server provides. Additionally, direct access to log files is not the operational approach Zscaler promotes for accessing analytics, as it would offer a less user-friendly and less effective means of interpreting the overall health and usage of the network.
