Using the Aggregate Drops graph

Using the Aggregate Drops graph

You use the Aggregate drops graph to monitor trends in drops over time. The Aggregate drops graph plots the following data for all Layer 3/4/7 per SPP:

  • Flood Drops - Aggregate of drops due to packet rate thresholds.
  • ACL Drops - Aggregate of drops due to ACL rules.
  • Anomaly Drops - Aggregate of drops due to anomaly detection methods.
  • Out of Memory Drops - Aggregate of drops due to built-in rules that detect memory attacks on the FortiDDoS system itself.

You can customize the following viewing parameters: SPP, Reporting Period (1-hr to 1-yr), Linear/Logarithmic Y-Axis

Placing the cursor on the Monitor graph will display a tool-tip with additional information.

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 graph:
  1. Go to Monitor > Drops Monitor > Aggregate Drops > [SPP] [Y-Axis View] [Reporting Period].
