Creating telemetry profiles

This topic applies only to a FortiGate acting as a FortiTelemetry Controller with FortiTelemetry enabled on the System > Feature Visibility page. For a summary of FortiTelemetry-related tasks that you can do in FortiOS, see FortiTelemetry. See also FortiTelemetry Administration Guide.

FortiOS includes a default telemetry security profile. You can edit or clone the profile, or you can create a new profile.

Although you can enable SLA targets, the functionality does not work yet.

To edit the default telemetry profile in the GUI:

1. Go to Security Profiles > Telemetry Profile.

2. Select the default profile, and click Edit. The profile opens for editing.

3. Enter your changes, and click OK to save the changes.

To clone a telemetry profile in the GUI:

1. Go to Security Profiles > Telemetry Profile.

2. Select a profile, and click Clone. The profile opens for editing.

3. Set Name to a unique name.

4. Enter your changes, and click OK to save the new profile.

To create a telemetry profile in the GUI:

1. Go to Security Profiles > Telemetry Profile, and click Create New.

2. Enter a name and optional comment for the profile.

3. In the Monitored Applications section, add to the profile the applications to monitor:

   1. Click Create New.

   2. Choose the Monitor status for the application:

      • Choose Enabled to monitor the application.

      • Choose Disabled to disable monitoring of the application.

   3. From the Applications dropdown, select a predefined application to monitor. See Predefined applications for more information.

   4. Set the monitoring Interval in milliseconds.

   5. Enable SLA Targets to view what data will be collected. Although you can enable and set SLA targets, the functionality does not work yet.

      Application level metrics:
      Experience score	Overall application experience score threshold between 0 and 10. Experience scores are categorized as follows: Good: 8 to 10 OK: 5 to 8 Poor: 3 to 5 Broken: 0 to 3
      Failure rate	Failure rate threshold for monitoring HTTP requests as a percentage (%).
      Time to first byte	Time to first byte threshold monitor requests in milliseconds (ms).
      Application total download time	Application total download time threshold for monitoring HTTP requests in milliseconds (ms).
      Application throughput	The throughput threshold for monitoring HTTP requests in megabytes (MBps).
      Network level metrics:
      Latency	Average latency threshold for network probes in milliseconds (ms).
      Jitter	Jitter threshold for network probes in milliseconds (ms).
      Packet loss	Packet-loss threshold for network probes as a percentage.
      TCP round trip time	TCP round trip time threshold for monitoring HTTP requests in milliseconds (ms).
      95% DNS resolving time	DNS resolving time threshold for monitoring HTTP requests in milliseconds.
      95% TLS handshake time	TLS time threshold in milliseconds.

   6. Click OK to save the monitored application.

   7. Repeat the steps to include additional applications as needed in the profile.

4. Click OK to save the telemetry profile.
