Events and alarms list

When events are enabled, they can be enabled for All Groups or for a single group. Depending on the event you may not want to enable it for all groups because the volume of events would be overwhelming. For example, if you enabled the Host Connected event for all groups, you would receive an event message every time someone connects to the network.

When you look at an event in the Event Viewer, additional information is provided about that occurrence of the event. It might include information such as, user name, IP address, MAC Address or location.

Each event has a corresponding alarm that can be configured. See Map events to alarms.

Note

Event names highlighted in gray are no longer used. However, they are still available in the Event Log to accommodate importing older data that may contain those events.

Therefore if the combined total crosses the threshold, no event is generated. Default = 95%

Hard Disk Usage Warning

Generated when the disk usage warning threshold is headteacher threshold is a percentage of the space allocated for the bsc and var partitions. The percentage is calculated for each partition separately. When any one partition reaches the threshold the event is generated. Thresholds calculated for individual partitions are never combined.

In a High Availability environment, failover occurs after the fourth failed restart attempt.

For the httpd service: After the system confirms that the httpd service is running, the system also attempts to connect to ports 80 and 443. If the system fails to connect to either port, the httpd service is restarted.

If the primary is unable to communicate with the secondary to confirm it is running, service down will not trigger a failover.

Events and alarms list

When events are enabled, they can be enabled for All Groups or for a single group. Depending on the event you may not want to enable it for all groups because the volume of events would be overwhelming. For example, if you enabled the Host Connected event for all groups, you would receive an event message every time someone connects to the network.

When you look at an event in the Event Viewer, additional information is provided about that occurrence of the event. It might include information such as, user name, IP address, MAC Address or location.

Each event has a corresponding alarm that can be configured. See Map events to alarms.

Note

Event names highlighted in gray are no longer used. However, they are still available in the Event Log to accommodate importing older data that may contain those events.

- Wireless devices are being polled at a regular interval (typically 15 minutes).

Note

This event is only generated on hosts running Persistent Agent 4.0 or better.

Persistent Agent Scan Not Performed

This event can only be generated accurately when FortiNAC has up-to-date network connectivity data (in order to determine a host's online status). This requires the following:

- Wired network devices are being polled at a regular interval (typically 1 hour).

- Wired network devices are sending either Link Up/Link Down or Mac Notification traps.

- Wireless devices are being polled at a regular interval (typically 15 minutes).
