AI Canvas is a no-code data exploration tool that revolutionizes how you interact with
your security data. Through its flexible, intuitive interface, you can seamlessly
explore and visualize your data without the constraints of traditional dashboards.
While conventional approaches require navigating multiple screens and applying complex
filters, AI Canvas empowers you to ask questions in natural language and receive
immediate insights. This transformative approach delivers four key advantages:
speed—obtaining instant insights without waiting for new reports; simplicity—using plain
English instead of complex query languages; flexibility—creating and arranging widgets
to suit your specific needs; and collaboration—saving and sharing canvases with
colleagues.
Security remains paramount with AI Canvas, as it fully honors role-based access control
(RBAC). This ensures users can only access, create, view, and share data they're
authorized to see. While widgets and canvases are personal by default, they can be
easily shared with other Strata Cloud Manager users when needed.
When troubleshooting, AI Canvas eliminates the fragmented experience of gathering
information from multiple sources. You can build focused canvases that consolidate all
relevant data into a single view. AI Canvas further enhances user confidence through
transparent error messages and clear explanations of generated queries, making complex
data exploration accessible to everyone.
Core Components
- Widgets—Individual data visualizations created through natural language queries or Strata Copilot. These widgets can display various types of charts, tables, and other visualizations based on your security data. The widget library serves as a repository for all created widgets, allowing for easy reuse and management.
- Canvases—Customizable workspaces where administrators can assemble multiple widgets using drag-and-drop functionality. A canvas provides a comprehensive view of related security data, eliminating the need to switch between different dashboards.
Data Sources
Currently, AI Canvas supports the following data sources:
- Prisma Access logs and metrics
- Log Viewer data (Threat, Traffic, URL logs)
