Generating baseline traffic statistics
You can generate baseline traffic statistics based on the following observation periods:
• Past 1 hour
• Past 8 hours
• Past 1 day
• Past 1 week
• Past 1 month
• Past 1 year
Use a time period that is representative of typical traffic volume and has had no attacks.
Before you begin:
• You must have Read-Write permission for Protection Profile settings.
• Note that the FortiDDoS hardware is accessed when you generate traffic statistics or set system recommended thresholds. Do not perform multiple operations simultaneously.
To generate baseline traffic statistics:
1. Go to Protection Profiles > Traffic Statistics> Generate.
2. Select the SPP you want to configure from the drop-down list.
3. Select the time period from the drop-down list.
4. Select Generate.
5. Save the configuration.
6. It takes about ten minutes for the process to complete. Click Refresh to track the status. The process is complete when the status shows "Available" and a timestamp.
