Network Platform Analytics

Network Platform Analytics (NPA) clients are the IT admin’s primary method of monitoring and sorting through the traffic on the devices in their network. NPA clients can monitor and collect a wide variety of details about network traffic, including — but not limited to — the following information:

• Application from where the request originated
• Origin and target IP address information
• Encryption level and protocol details
• Amount of data packets sent and received

The process to enable and configure the NPA client to collect information is in two stages:

1. Create an NPA Data Points profile
2. Deploy selected NPA Data Points profile to devices

Create an NPA Data Points profile

KSP uses an NPA Data Points profile to configure data collection on NPA clients. You can set up an NPA Data Points profile at the DO and PO level as follows:

1. In your UEM console, open the Device Configuration Profile that is associated with your target devices, and then on the middle navigation menu, click Properties. The Device Configuration Policy Properties page opens.

2. On the Properties page, in the Settings list, click Configured. The OEMConfig page for the Device Configuration Policy opens.

3. On the OEMConfig page, next to NPA Data Points policy, click Configure. The NPA Data Points profile page opens.

4. In the Profile name field, enter an appropriate name for your new Data Points profile.

   Always choose a name that highlights the main feature or use of the Data Points policy that you are creating. You can then reference this name in KSP to apply these settings to the target device.

5. Next to NPA Data Points, click Configure. The NPA Data Points page opens.

6. Depending upon your needs, use the fields on this page to enable collection of various data points. Refer to your NPA client’s documentation for more details on each of these values.

7. Click OK to save this new NPA Data Points profile.

The next step is to apply this profile to your target devices.

Deploy selected NPA Data Points profile to devices

To apply this new NPA Data Points profile to your managed devices, do as follows:

1. In your UEM console, open the Device Configuration Profile that is associated with your target devices, and then on the middle navigation menu, click Properties. The Device Configuration Policy Properties page opens.

2. On the Properties page, in the Settings list, click Configured. The OEMConfig page for the Device Configuration Policy opens.

3. Associate the NPA Data Points policy with your devices as follows:

   • For DO devices, next to the Device-wide policies (Device Owner) field, click Configure. Continue to the next step.

   • For PO devices, next to the Work profile policies (Profile Owner) field, click Configure.

4. On the page that opens, next to the Network Platform Analytics (NPA) field, click Configure. The Network Platform Analytics (NPA) page opens.

5. In the Enable NPA controls field, click True.

6. In the NPA client list, select your NPA client.

7. In the NPA Profile for Data Points field, enter the name of the NPA Data Points profile you created earlier.

8. Click OK.

9. Depending upon the settings you’ve chosen for deploying Device Configuration Policy changes, these changes are deployed on all the devices that use this Device Configuration Policy.
