Is there a way to get a list of applications registered in the Umbrella application settings?
Is there a way to detect newly registered applications in the Umbrella application settings?
To get a list of applications, I was able to move the mouse over an application in the Application Settings of the Umbrella dashboard, copy the selection, and paste it into a text file.
There are currently a massive number of Generative AI applications: 1,207.
Could you please let me know if there is a website that publishes a list of application settings?

The App Discovery API provides endpoints that let you:
Retrieve the full list of applications (with hundreds or thousands of apps).
Fetch metadata: name, category, risk label, first/last seen, etc.
For example, the endpoint:
returns JSON data about each app community.cisco.com+15developer.cisco.com+15developer.cisco.com+15developer.cisco.com+1developer.cisco.com+1.
You’ll need to authenticate with Umbrella’s API credentials. From there, you can script:
Retrieval
Parsing
Storage (e.g. CSV, database)
To detect new apps over time, use the label_timestamp or firstDetected fields:
Fetch periodically (daily/weekly).
Compare to previous run.
Identify apps with firstDetected timestamp newer than your last run.
These are your newly observed apps developer.cisco.com+1reddit.com+1.
There’s no public Cisco page listing all Umbrella Application Settings — it's not published online docs.umbrella.com+3community.cisco.com+3reddit.com+3.
The App Discovery API is your best source for a complete, machine-readable list.
