FortiGate 7000E dashboard widgets

The FortiGate 7000E includes a number of custom dashboard widgets that provide extra or custom information for FortiGate 7000E systems.

Resource usage

You can add resource usage widgets to the FortiGate 7000E dashboard to view CPU usage, disk usage, log rate, memory usage, session setup rate, and the current number of sessions. When you add the widget, you can select to display resource usage for the data plane, management plane, or combined resource usage for the component that you are logged into.

If you are logged into the primary FIM, the data plan and management plane options display resource usage for all of the FIMs and FPMs in the FortiGate 7000E. If you are logged into the secondary FIM or an FPM, the data plane and management options display data plane or management resource for the FIM or FPM that you are logged into.

The sessions resource usage widget also separates CPU, SPU, and nTurbo sessions.

After you have created a widget, you can choose to display data for the last 1 minute to 24 hours, updated in real time.
