Reports
FortiAnalyzer units can analyze information collected from the log files of connected FortiGate, FortiMail, and FortiWeb devices, FortiClient End Point agents, and syslog compatible devices. It then presents the information in tabular and graphical reports. These reports provide a quick and detailed analysis of activity on your networks.
You can create reports based on logs from Structured Query Language (SQL) databases or from the proprietary indexer file system.
| FortiWeb reports are only available when logging to SQL databases. |
By using reports, you can:
• minimize the effort required to identify attack patterns when customizing policies
• monitor Internet surfing patterns for compliance with company policies
• identify your web site visitors for potential customers.
FortiAnalyzer reports are also flexible, offering system administrators the choice to compile a report layout based on pre-defined variables or specific information.
