This
example
takes
you
through
the
process
of
assessing
the
efficiency
of
your
current
policies
and
determining
where
you
need
to
adjust
them
to
fortify
the
acceptable
use
policies
for
your
network.
When
you
log
in
to
Panorama,
the
Top Applications
widget
on
the
Dashboard
gives
a
preview
of
the
most
used
applications
over
the
last
hour.
You
can
either
glance
over
the
list
of
top
applications
and
mouse
over
each
application
block
that
you
want
to
review
the
details
for,
or
you
can
navigate
to
the
ACC
tab
to
view
the
same
information
as
an
ordered
list.
The
following
image
is
a
view
of
the
Top Applications
widget
on
the
Dashboard
.
The
data
source
for
this
display
is
the
application
statistics
database;
it
does
not
use
the
traffic
logs
and
is
generated
whether
or
not
you
have
enabled
logging
for
security
rules.
This
view
into
the
traffic
on
your
network
depicts
everything
that
is
allowed
on
your
network
and
is
flowing
through
unblocked
by
any
policy
rules
that
you
have
defined.
You
can
select
and
toggle
the
Data Source
to
be
local
on
Panorama
or
you
can
query
the
managed
firewalls
(
Remote Device Data
)
for
the
data;
Panorama
automatically
aggregates
and
displays
the
information.
For
a
speedier
flow,
consider
using
Panorama
as
the
data
source
(with
log
forwarding
to
Panorama
enabled)
because
the
time
to
load
data
from
the
remote
devices
varies
by
the
time
period
for
which
you
choose
to
view
data
and
the
volume
of
traffic
that
is
generated
on
your
network.
Going
back
to
the
list
of
top
applications,
we
can
see
that
bittorrent
is
very
popular.
If
you
now
click
into
the
link
for
the
bittorrent
application,
the
ACC
view
filters
the
display
to
show
information
on
the
application,
its
behavior,
risk
level,
and
the
associated
URL
categorization
details.
