View, edit, and analyze incidents created for events. See Incidents.

Event Monitor

View and monitor events generated by event handlers, and create incidents. See Event Monitor.

Automation

Create event handler stitches for FortiGates. Each stitch specifies what action to automatically take for an event handler on a FortiGate. See Automation.
