Reports
The FortiAnalyzer unit collates information collected from device log files and
presents the information in tabular and graphical reports. The reports provide
detailed information on the type of traffic, attacks and preventative actions that
occurred during a specific period on your network.
Using reports you can:
• manage your network more effectively and to make informed decisions
• view network usage and patterns
• discover and address vulnerabilities across dispersed device installations
• minimize the effort required to monitor and maintain acceptable user policies,
identify attack patterns and prevent attacks
• monitor Internet surfing patterns for compliance with company policy
• identify visitors to your web site for potential customers
This section includes the following topics:
• Configuring reports
