Dashboard
The FortiOSDashboard consists of a Network Operations Center (NOC) view with a focus on alerts. Widgets are interactive. By clicking or hovering over most widgets, the user can see additional information or follow links to other pages.
The dashboard and its widgets include:
- Multiple dashboard support
- VDOM and global dashboards
- Widget resize control
- Notifications on the top header bar
The following widgets are displayed by default:
Widget | Description |
|---|---|
System Information | The System Information widget lists information relevant to the FortiGate system, including hostname, serial number, and firmware. |
Security Fabric | The Security Fabric widget displays a visual summary of many of the devices in the Fortinet Security Fabric. |
CPU | The real-time CPU usage is displayed for different time frames. |
Licenses | Hovering over the Licenses widget results in the display of status information (and, where applicable, database information) on the licenses for FortiCare Support, Firmware & General Updates, AntiVirus, Web Filtering, Security Rating, FortiClient, and FortiToken. Note that Mobile Malware is not a separate service in FortiOS 6.0.0. The Mobile Malware subscription is included with the AntiVirus subscription. Clicking in the Licenses widget provides you with links to other pages, such as System > FortiGuard or contract renewal pages. |
