System events

Selecting SYSTEM EVENTS in the ADMINISTRATION tab displays all the system events relevant to the FortiEDR system.

Use the search bar on the top right corner to filter system events by keywords.

Use the Advanced search button to filter system events by component with a date range, which you can specify in the SEARCH SYSTEM EVENT window.

System events can also be retrieved using an API command. For more details, refer to the FortiEDR RESTful API Guide. You must log in to the Fortinet Developer Network to access the guide.

Each time a system event is triggered and created, the user receives an email notification for each of them if that system event is enabled for the user’s Distribution lists. You can also configure Syslog to send system events messages.
