Using the dashboard
FortiRecorder has several methods, including a real-time dashboard, SNMP traps, and log messages, that you can use to monitor system statuses.
To use the dashboard, go to Dashboard > Status. The default widgets on the dashboard show:
- serial number
- firmware version
- uptime
- licenses (see also Licenses)
- currently logged in users
- system resources (see also Resource issues), such as:
- CPU usage
- memory usage
- disk space usage
- face recognition events
- camera status and scheduled continuous or motion detection-triggered recording
To access this part of the GUI, you must have an administrator account, and its access profile must have Read-Write permission to the System status category. Other user accounts do not have permission. For details, see Configuring administrator profiles .
Customizing the dashboard
You can customize your dashboard to show or hide widgets, and to arrange them on Dashboard > Status.
To move a widget, position your mouse cursor on the widget's title bar and then drag the widget to a new location.
To show or hide a widget, click Manage Widget and then select its name, and click Apply. (If the widget name is greyed out, the widget will not display.)
Icon buttons on the widget's title bar vary, but always include Refresh and X (hide).
