These dashboards offer less functionality than Bot Management for Enterprise but still help you understand bot traffic on your domain. ### Access You can access Bot Analytics by going to the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/login), and selecting your account and domain. Go to **Security** \> **Analytics** \> **Bot analysis**. ![View Bot Analytics in the Cloudflare dashboard.

At a high level, the tool includes: * **Requests by traffic type**: View your total domain traffic segmented vertically by traffic type. Keep an eye on _automated_ and _likely automated_ traffic. * **Requests by detection source**: Identify the most common detection engines used to score your traffic. Hover over a tooltip to learn more about each engine. * **Top requests by attribute**: View more detailed information on specific IP addresses and other characteristics. Bot Analytics shows up to 72 hours of data at a time and can display data up to 30 days old. Bot Analytics displays data in real time in most cases. Cloudflare uses adaptive bitrate technology to show sampled data — most customers will see a 1-10% sample depending on how much information they are trying to view. Tooltips on the page will display the current sample rate. ### Common uses Business and Enterprise customers without Bot Management can use Bot Analytics to: * Understand bot traffic * Study recent attacks to find trends and detailed information * Learn more about Cloudflare’s detection engines with real data For more details and granular control over bot traffic, consider upgrading to [Bot Management for Enterprise](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/bots/bot-analytics/#enterprise-bot-management). ## Enterprise Bot Management Enterprise customers with Bot Management can use **Bot Analytics** to dynamically examine bot traffic. ### Access You can access Bot Analytics by going to the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/login), and selecting your account and domain.
