  1. Discover: This feature enables in-depth exploration and analysis of your data. Use it to search, filter, and visualize information from your EZproxy audit logs and Starting Point URL (SPU) logs. Most importantly, leverage the ezPAARSE-enriched EZproxy logs, which provide enhanced contextual insights and detailed usage patterns, to uncover meaningful trends and drive data-informed decisions.

With dashboards, you can create visual representations of all your EZproxy log data, offering a centralized view for effective monitoring and reporting. They can also be seamlessly shared with internal teams and external stakeholders to support collaboration and transparency.
  3. Visualize Library: A tool for creating custom visualizations—such as bar charts, pie charts, and maps—that bring your EZproxy data to life in meaningful and actionable ways. Whether you're highlighting usage trends, access patterns, or institutional impact, this feature helps you craft and share the data story that matters most to your audience.
