FortiView Monitors dashboards

FortiView Monitors include predefined dashboards.

Both predefined and custom dashboards can be modified with widgets, including: Threats, Compromised Hosts, Traffic, Applications & Websites, VPN, WiFi, Endpoints, Local System Performance, Global Threat Research, Fabric State of Security, FortiClient Software Inventory, Shadow IT, and FortiFirewall widgets (Traffic and VPN).

For example, the default Threat Monitor dashboard includes four widgets: Threat Map, Top Threat Destinations, Top Threats, and Top Virus Incidents Over Time. These widgets can be removed, enlarged, reduced, or customized, and new widgets can be added to the dashboard.
