Dashboard widgets

You can add Security Fabric widgets to the dashboard on the root FortiGate. There are three widgets available: the Security Fabric Status widget, the Security Rating widget, and the FortiMail Statistics widget. The widgets allow you to see information about the status of the Security Fabric when you first log in to the FortiGate.

If any of these widgets do not appear on your dashboard, you can add them using the settings button in the bottom right corner. On the root FortiGate, select Dashboard > Main and the settings button appears when your mouse hovers over any part of the dashboard. Select Add Widget and under Security Fabric, click to add the widget.

The Security Fabric Status widget

The Security Fabric Status widget shows a visual summary of many of the devices in the Security Fabric. You can hover over the icons at the top of the widget to get a quick view of the status of the Security Fabric, including the status of FortiTelemetry and devices in the Security Fabric. You can click to authorize FortiAP and FortiSwitch devices that are connected to an authorized FortiGate.

The widget shows the following information:

• The name of your Security Fabric
• Icons indicating the other Fortinet devices that can be used in the Security Fabric:
  • Devices in blue are connected in your network
  • Devices in gray are unauthorized devices that are connected in your network.
  • Devices in red are not detected in your network, but are recommended for the Security Fabric.
  • An attention icon shows a FortiGate or FortiWiFi waiting for Authorization.
• The names of the FortiGate devices in the Security Fabric

The Security Rating widget

The Security Rating widget shows the latest Security Rating for your Security Fabric. You can configure the widget to show either how your organization’s Security Fabric rating compares to the ratings of other organizations that belong to the same industry as your organization or all industries. Your organization's industry is determined from your FortiCare account. You can also configure the widget to either show scores that are specific to your organization’s region or all regions. The widget shows the Security Rating score by percentile. To receive a Security Rating score, all FortiGate devices in the Security Fabric must have a valid Security Rating License.

FortiMail Stats widget

The FortiMail Stats widget shows mail detection statistics from FortiMail. You can configure the widget to show statistics from a FortiMail in your Security Fabric. If you have more than one FortiMail in your Security Fabric, you can add additional FortiMail Stats widgets to the Dashboard.

This widget shows both the total number and percentage of email messages that the FortiMail identifies as belonging to non-spam, spam, and virus categories. You can filter the statistics by time period, such as the number of messages per year, per month, and per hour.
