System Settings : Dashboard : Alert Messages Console widget
 
Alert Messages Console widget
The Alert Message Console widget displays log-based alert messages for both the Fortinet unit itself and connected devices.
Alert messages help you track system events on your Fortinet unit such as firmware changes, and network events such as detected attacks. Each message shows the date and time that the event occurred.
 
Alert messages can also be delivered by email, syslog or SNMP.
