Avatars

Avatars

When FortiClient sends logs to FortiManager with FortiAnalyzer features enabled, an avatar for each user can be displayed in the Source column in the FortiView > FortiView and Log View panes. FortiManager can display an avatar when FortiClient is managed by FortiGate or FortiClient EMS with logging to FortiManager enabled.

  • When FortiClient Telemetry connects to FortiGate, FortiClient sends logs (including avatars) to FortiGate, and the logs display in FortiManager under the FortiGate device as a sub-type of security.

    The avatar is synchronized from FortiGate to FortiManager by using the FortiOS REST API.

  • When FortiClient Telemetry connects to FortiClient EMS, FortiClient sends logs (including avatars) directly to FortiManager, and logs display in a FortiClient ADOM.

If FortiManager cannot find the defined picture, a generic, gray avatar is displayed.

You can also optionally define an avatar for FortiManager administrators. See Creating administrators.
