Using the SPP Traffic graphs

Use the FortiView > SPP > View SPP Traffic Chart graph to monitor overall throughput for a selected SPP.

The SPP Traffic Chart includes the following view options:

• Direction – View Inbound or Outbound traffic
• Graph Period - View the graph for 1 hour to 1 year
• Y-Axis scale – Linear or Logarithmic
• Throughput – Ingress/Egress traffic rates selectable in packets per second (Packets) or bits per second (Bits)

  FortiDDoS displays Ingress/Egress traffic differently from other networking products. In order to show the affect the FortiDDoS SPP may be having on traffic in either direction FortiDDoS shows:

  • Inbound Ingress traffic from the Internet to FortiDDoS SPP
  • Inbound Egress traffic from FortiDDoS SPP to your protected network

You can customize the following query terms: SPP, period, and direction.

Before you begin:

• You must have Read permission for the Monitor menu.
• Refer to Reading Monitor graphs to understand the graphs in detail.

To display the graphs:

1. Go to FortiView > SPP
2. From the list, select View for the appropriate SPP
