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
