Events

The following two tabs are available in Events:

• Summary

  The Summary tab displays the top five most frequent events in each type of event log and a line chart to show aggregated events by each severity level. Clicking on a peak in the line chart will display the specific event count for the selected severity level.

  There is an option for the line chart to change the time filter in which the events occurred, from 5 minutes to 7 days.

  

  The System Events log contains events such as:

  • Upgrade and downgrade of the system

  • Change of system configuration, such as timezone and FortiPAM recording settings

  • Deletion of outdated video files

  • Report generation

  • Reload of AntiVirus database

    And more.

  The User Events log contains events such as:

  • IP address and time when the user logs in or logs out

  • Login failure reason

  • User login as a normal user or API user

    And more.

  The HA Events log contains events such as:

  • Change in HA clusters
