Basic feature support
FortiView's consoles give insight into your user's traffic, not merely showing which users are creating the most traffic, but what sort of traffic it is, when the traffic occurs, and what kind of threat the traffic may pose to the network.
FortiView basic feature support consists of the following consoles:
The complete array of features in FortiView requires disk logging enabled (see below). It includes those consoles listed above as well as the following:
Historical Data
Not all FortiView consoles have the same available historical data options, depending on whether or not your traffic is locally stored.
