How To: Access CAN Reports

Overview

This document explains the process of accessing Captive Access Network Reports (CAN). The reports are automatically created at regular intervals and shared with Distribution Partners (DPs) through secure SAS tokens.

CAN Reports

• A CAN Session report is generated every 1 hour and stored for user reference.

• Reports are compressed in .csv.gz format. A sample file name would be Session_Report_2025_09_29_000000.csv.gz

• Storage & Folder Structure - Reports are organized DP-wise - one file with all users and sites.

  • e.g. DP/DP-00xx/CAN/session/2024/07/11/Session_Report_2025_09_29_000000.csv.gz

How To Access

• Use azcopy tool or respective language azure blob library to access the reports.

• Access to folders is managed using SAS tokens generated per DP folder. Reach out to Kognitive Support team to get the SAS token.

• Tokens include expiry date & permissions, and are shared with customers.

Example azcopy command to list files:

./azcopy ls "<https://<storageaccount>>.blob.core.windows.net/reports/DP/DP-0001?<SAS-token>"
