Status notifications
Use the status notifications view to configure how users are notified of their host status when the Persistent Agent contacts the FortiNAC server. There are two levels of notification. The first enables or disables the display of a special icon shown in the system tray based on the state of the host. If the first level is enabled, the second level enables or disables the display of Notification Balloons over the icon. These provide more detail to the user if there is an issue with network access.
