Within the dashboard is a number of smaller windows, called widgets, that provide this status information. By default, the dashboard displays the key statistics of the FortiGate unit itself, providing the memory and CPU status, as well as the health of the ports, whether they are up or down and their throughput. The FortiOS dashboard provides a location to view real-time system information. This chapter discusses the various methods of monitoring both the FortiGate unit and the network traffic through a range of different tools available within FortiOS. Once the system is running efficiently, the next step is to monitor the system and network traffic, making configuration changes as necessary when a threat or vulnerability is discovered. With network administration, the first step is installing and configuring the FortiGate unit to be the protector of the internal network.
