V2 API Pagination

Hi Folks,Apologies if this is a simpleton question, however it’s doing my head in. I have the api working and am able to use the dataexport endpoint to extract malware alerts. My issue is that I only receive one record in the response and I know there is 115 in the time period of the search. The record I receive is the very first in the results. I can confirm that by checking in the console.My (hopefully simple) question is what is the format of the api query to iterate through the results so that the full list can be retrieved? I’ve tried ?operation=next&index=(the index name supplied in the first query). However that returns an empty response.I’d appreciate any guidance.Regards,Campbell

Netskope Client for iPad

I saw the article on support for the Netskope Client on iPad. When I use the email invite though there is link for the iOS Client, only the iOS Profile. I see a note about this issue, but don’t understand what it wants me to do. How do I enable the default email template? I’m sure I changed it years ago, but can’t remember where.. Can someone clarify how I get it visible in the email invite?– If you are unable to see the link to download Netskope Client for iOS in the email invite, use the default email template that includes the link to download Netskope Client for iOS.

Creating reports / widgets that filter based on Tunnels

Hello all,I am looking at creating reports to help identify bandwidth utilisation for customer sites.  We want to identify what applications and sites are generating the most traffic.  If the previous product it was simple to filter based on a location (which is a way to reference the IPsec tunnels used to connect a site to the cloud).  Netskope seems to be less location focused.  Ideally I would like to filter a widget or Dashboard using a filter that is a list of the IPsec Tunnels.  Is there a simple way to do this?I can filter based on countries, but the customer has multiple sites in some countries. The source locations reference towns or cities that do not match up with the customer site. In France the even have multiple sites in the same city. Filtering by IP CIDR allows only filtering by a single CIDR network. It is not possible to filter based on a defined network location. The only solution I have at the moment is the source egress public IP address.  This works as it clearly

How Can I Improve Netskope's Performance?

I have just started a new company.We have brand new Cisco Cat 9500 and 9300 MGig switches. With Netskope installed on our computer have run a speed test and getting 100Mbps connected to the Internet with Netskope enabled.  With Netskope disabled we are getting speeds of up to 700Mbps connected to the internet. Is there a reason why this is so slow, has it got to do with deep packet inspection? Can anything be done to speed this up? I am new to Netskope and our security team are in charge of this.

Exporting platform audit log data with AA

I’m curious if Netskope platform audit log data can be exported using Advanced Analytics or put on the road map? It would be helpful to generate reports for events such as Create/Delete Admins, tunnel modifications, and other events.  This arose from a recent PCI audit (looking forward into PCI 4.) where logs related to VPN access must be reviewed (and eventually ingested into SIEM or similar platform to search for anomalies) and immediately searchable up to 90 days and stored for 1 year.  Thanks!

Filtering and Counting Files by Extension in Netskope

Hi everyone,I'm looking for a way to create a filter in Netskope that focuses only on the file extension, disregarding the full file name.Objective:My goal is to analyze the volume of files with specific extensions that are being used in our environment. For example, I have a list of extensions like .csv, .xls, and .jpg, and I want to understand how many files of each type are being accessed.Challenge:In Advanced Analytics, I can only see the complete object name. I'd like to know if it's possible to create a custom field that captures only the file extensions. This would allow me to count and visualize the volume of each file type in a dashboard or report.Example:An ideal report would display the volume of files per extension over a specific period. For instance, in the last 7 days, there were 50 .pdf files uploaded, 20 .xls files, and 2 .jpg files.I hope I have explained my need clearly. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
