    Cluster status dashboard widget

    Cluster status dashboard widget

    The primary FIM GUI global dashboard includes the Cluster Status dashboard widget (one of the System widgets). You can this widget to view the configuration synchronization status of your FortiGate 7000F and its individual FIMs and FPMs. The Cluster Status dashboard widget also displays the current number of sessions, memory usage, and CPU usage for the FIMs and FPMs in your FortiGate 7000F. This display allows you to separate management plane resource usage (FIMs) from data plane resource usage (FPMs). The Cluster Status dashboard widget is only available from the primary FIM GUI.

    Note

    When adding a FortiGate 7000F to an existing security fabric, for normal operation you must authorize the FortiGate 7000F and all of the FIM and FPMs on the root FortiGate. Otherwise, the FortiGate 7000F primary FIM will not be able to communicate with the other FIM and the FPMs. No entries will appear on the Cluster status dashboard widget until all of the FIMs and FPMs have been authorized with the root FortiGate.

    Synchronization information includes the configuration status, role (primary or secondary), type (management or data), current number of sessions, current memory usage, current CPU usage, time since the last heartbeat was received from the component, the total number of heartbeat packets received from the component, and up time. You can also customize the columns that appear. If a component has failed, it will be removed from the list. If a component is out of synchronization this will be reflected in the Configuration Status list.

    You can hover your mouse cursor over any of the components and view more detailed information about the component including the hostname, serial number, firmware version, management IP address, special management port number, CPU usage, memory usage, and session count.

    From the pop up you can also select Login to log into the component's GUI using its management IP address and special port number. You can also select Configure to change the component's host name.
