The FortiView dashboards integrate real time and historical dashboards into a single view. These dashboards can be found by going to Status > FortiView. Each dashboard will initially display the top 100 sessions but when the results are filtered, other sessions may be displayed.
Each dashboards can be filtered by a variety of attributes. Attributes can be selected by using the dropdown menu located at the top of each widgets that displays only the options that have results; for example, if the only applications used in the are Dropbox, SSL, and Skype, the only options in the dropdown menu for the Application filter will be Dropbox, SSL, and Skype.
Results can also be filtered using the various columns, although not all columns support this.
The dashboards also include different time options, allowing you to see current traffic in real-time, or historical traffic that occurred in the last 5 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours.
| Historical traffic is only supported on FortiGate models that have local storage. The 24 hours option is also unavailable for desktop models (FortiGate-90 series and below). |
