Reviewing System Status
To access the Dashboard, go to Dashboard > Status. The Dashboard is the default display that contains a variety of widgets displaying performance level and statistics. The default widgets displayed in the Dashboard are the serial number and current system status of the FortiRecorder unit, including uptime, system resource usage, alert messages, host name, firmware version, system time, and email throughput.
To access this part of the web UI:
- Domain must be System
- Access profile must have Read-Write permission to the Others category
To access the dashboard, you must have an administrator account. Operator accounts do not have permission. For details, see “User types”.
Customizing Widgets
The dashboard is customizable. You can select which widgets to display, where they are located on the tab, and whether they are minimized or maximized.
To move a widget, position your mouse cursor on the widget’s title bar and then click and drag the widget to a new location.
To show or hide a widget, select Manage Widget and then select the widgets you want displayed on the Dashboard. If the widget is greyed out, the widget will not display. Select Apply when you have made your selections.
Options vary slightly from widget to widget, but always include options to close, refresh, or minimize/maximize the widget.
