# Access event analytics

Access event analytics allows you to review login attempts to the applications you protect behind [Access](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/policies/). Access event analytics are powered by [Access authentication logs](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/logs/dashboard-logs/access-authentication-logs/).

To view Access event analytics:

1. In the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/), go to **Zero Trust** \> **Insights**.
2. Go to **Dashboards**.
3. Select **Access event analytics**.

Access Event Analytics aggregates authentication activity based on your [Access policies](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/policies/policy-management/).

The [Application Access Report](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/analytics/application-access/) dashboard offers a summary of overall Access activity, while [Access event analytics](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/analytics/access/) dashboard provides a view of login events. You can export the Application Access Report to a PDF to share with stakeholders.

Refer to [Insights overview](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/) to learn how to use Analytics dashboards together with [Analytics Overview](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/analytics-overview/) and [Digital Experience Monitoring (DEX)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/) for complete visibility and troubleshooting.
