Optimize FortiManager REST API querying of FortiGate
Longer-term history (up to 8 days) can be stored by FortiManager and available for drill-down and and trending analysis. This feature is enabled in CLI and should be assessed for deployment size, available storage, etc.
History graphs are now available for the SD-WAN Monitoring. You can View bandwidth, packet loss, latency and jitter history for each device / WAN-link interface and cloud applications. Additionally, the interface allows drill-down to selected time periods for deeper inspection of those events.
- Go to SD-WAN Monitoring > Table view. For each device / interface you can now see Bandwidth / Packet Loss / Latency / Jitter history
- Go to SD-WAN Monitoring > Table view. For each device, you can now see the interface status history.
- This feature is only for ADOM 6.2 and FortiOS 6.2.
- FortiOS 6.0 does not support history API and hence the drill-down is disabled in table view.
