Monitoring your system : Status dashboard : System Information widget
 
System Information widget
The System Information widget on the dashboard displays the serial number and the status of basic systems, such as the firmware version, system time, up time, and host name, and high availability (HA) status.
In addition to displaying system information, the System Information widget enables you to configure some basic attributes such as the host name, operation mode, and high availability (HA) mode, and to change the firmware.
FortiWeb administrators whose access profiles permit Write access to items in the System Configuration category, can change the system time, host name, firmware, and operation mode, and high availability (HA) mode.

Description
Host Name
Displays the host name of the FortiWeb appliance.
Click Change to change the host name. See “Changing the FortiWeb appliance’s host name”.
Serial Number
Displays the serial number of the FortiWeb appliance. Use this number when registering the hardware or virtual appliance with Fortinet Technical Support.
On hardware appliance models of FortiWeb, the serial number (e.g. FV-3KC3R11111111) is specific to the FortiWeb appliance’s hardware and does not change with firmware upgrades.
On virtual appliance (FortiWeb-VM) models, the serial number indicates the maximum number of vCPUs that can be allocated according to the FortiWeb-VM software license, such as FVVM020000003619 (where “VM02” indicates a limit of 2 vCPUs). If it is FVVM00UNLICENSED, the FortiWeb-VM license has not been successfully validated, and FortiWeb is operating with a limited trial license.
Operation Mode
Displays the current operation mode of the FortiWeb appliance, either:
• Reverse Proxy
• Offline Protection
• True Transparent Proxy
• Transparent Inspection
The default operation mode is Reverse Proxy. For details on the operation modes, see “Setting the operation mode”.
Click Change to switch the operation mode.
Caution: Back up the configuration before changing the operation mode. Changing modes deletes any policies not applicable to the new mode, static routes, V-zone IPs, and VLANs. For instructions on backing up the configuration, see “Backups”.
HA Status
Displays the status of high availability (HA) for this appliance, either Standalone or Active-Passive. The default value is Standalone.

Click Change to change the time or configure the FortiWeb appliance to get the time from an NTP server. See “Setting the system time & date”.
Firmware Version
Displays the version of the firmware currently installed on the FortiWeb appliance.
Click Update to install a new version of firmware. See “Updating the firmware”.
System Uptime
