App Analytics Dashboard not having all filters

Currently App Analytics Dashboard covers all the application or traffic going to Cato PoP. I have users who also uses Cato SDP in mobile phone but those are BYOD devices.

Now when I see analytics dashboard, it shows various applications which are blocked in windows/MAC OS like whatsApp. But in App Analytics Dashboard, it also shows application like "WhatsApp" with almost traffic in 10-15GB which is unnecessarily flagged by auditors wherein these are allowed from personal mobile device . There is no filter currently in dashboard to filter insights bases device OS type so that I can remove IOS from device type so that it shows correct picture.

I asked this in Ask AI feature and it said :-

Unfortunately, based on the Cato documentation, there is no built-in feature to completely exclude specific devices or device types from traffic monitoring and analytics

Current Limitations

  1. App Analytics shows all traffic: The App Analytics page includes data for all traffic flowing through the Cato Cloud, including blocked apps and traffic from all device types. According to the documentation: "The App Analytics page includes data for blocked apps. This is because the PoP allows the client device trying to access the app to send multiple packets to the PoP, so it can identify the app and apply the block rule."
  2. No device-type exclusion from analytics: While you can filter analytics by device type (iOS, Android, etc.), you cannot exclude specific device types from being collected or displayed in analytics altogether.

Workaround -

Contact Cato Support: This might be a feature request worth submitting to Cato, as BYOD privacy concerns are common in enterprise environments.

Can Cato Team looks into this?
