Statistics
The Statistics widget is designed to allow you to see at a glance what is happening on
your FortiGate unit with regards to network traffic and attack attempts.
You can quickly see the amount and type of traffic as well as any attack attempts on your
system. To investigate an area that draws your attention, select Details for a detailed list of
the most recent activity.
The information displayed in the statistics widget is derived from log messages that can be
saved to a FortiAnalyzer unit, saved locally, or backed up to an external source such as a
syslog server. You can use this data to see trends in network activity or attacks over time.
Various configuration settings are required to actually collect data for the statistics widget.
See the descriptions of content archive and attack log for details.
For detailed procedures involving the Statistics list, see “Viewing Statistics” on page 83 .
