Monitoring all types of security and event logs from FortiGate devices

You can monitor all types of security and event logs from FortiGate devices in:

  • Log View > FortiGate > Security > Summary

  • Log View > FortiGate > Event > Summary

All widgets in these dashboards can be filtered by FortiGate device and timeframe in the toolbar. The widgets can be toggled on/off from the Toggle Widgets dropdown. By clicking an event name in the widget, you can open a list view of those logs filtered by the devices and timeframe you selected on the dashboard.

Event: Summary dashboard:

The summary dashboard for event logs includes a Total Events widget, which displays a line chart of the event logs by level. You can hover your cursor over the line chart to display a summary of the count and time at that point. This widget cannot be toggled off.
