Description
In situations that require full network monitoring and traffic logging, Fortinet recommends an analysis tool, such as a FortiAnalyzer unit, to collect and analyze traffic data. When this is not possible and basic traffic information and statistics are needed, the FortiGate unit includes some extra tools through the System Status Dashboard.
Solution
The FortiOS dashboard has features called widgets. Widgets which can be added as required to show different types of information and statistics.
 
To add widgets, select the Add Content button on the top left of the first screen after login. Available widgets include:
  • System Information 
  • License Information 
  • Unit Operation        
  • System Resources   
  • Alert Message Console  
  • CLI Console
  • Top Sessions
  • Top Viruses
  • Top Attacks
  • Traffic History
When a widget has already been added this cannot be selected and appears greyed out.

Once added, you can move the Widgets around on the dashboard as required by dragging and dropping to the desired location.

For more information on the Dashboard and Widgets, see the FortiGate Administration Guide at http://docs.fortinet.com/fgt.html.
