Finding the NAC Event Information

You can take two paths to find the NAC Event information.

From the left menu, select Monitor > Service Levels, and then click Insights.

NAC events are included in the Client Events section. NAC events are listed along with other event types, as shown in this example.

View NAC Events on the Auth Policies Page

From the left menu, select Organization > Access > Auth Policies, and then click the Show NAC Events button in the top-right corner of the page. The NAC Events page pops up on the right half of the screen.

One advantage of this view is that you can use the Auth Rule menu to show the NAC events for a particular rule in your auth policy. If needed, you can use the search box to narrow down the list to a particular client or device.
