Events
Events can also be monitored and the logs associated with a given event can be viewed.
The events page provides a list of the generated events. Right-clicking on an event in the table gives you the option of viewing event details including the raw log entries associated with that event, adding review notes, and acknowledging the event.
To view events, go to the Event Management tab and select Event Management > All Events. You can also view events by severity and by handler. When ADOMs are enabled, select the ADOM, and then select All Events. FortiMail and FortiWeb events are listed in their respective default ADOM.
