Status

FortiDDoS Dashboard contains tables or graph summary of system information or system status. You can use the dashboard to check system status at-a-glance or to quickly find system information, like the hardware serial number, firmware version, license status, or interface status. For a deeper look at attack traffic, use the Monitor and Log & Report menus.

Note: The SPP selection from the top-right corner of the UI updates only the Count of Unique Sources graph.

Before you begin:

• You must have Read-Write permission for Log & Report settings.

To display the Dashboard:

• Go to Dashboard tab.

The default dashboard setup includes the following tables/graphs:

• System Information
• License Information
• High Availability (HA)
• System Resources
• Administrators
• Drops
• Attack Logs
• Data Path Resources
• Cloud Signaling

For any graph, you can select either Linear or Logarithmic scale link from the top right corner. If there is a range of data where one or a few points are much larger than the bulk of the data, select Logarithmic scale to reduce the skewness towards large values. The graphs are displayed in linear scale by default.

System Information

This dashboard displays the basic information, such as firmware version, serial number, host name, system time, system uptime, effective HA mode, user name and ASIC version.
