    Hello,
    Maybe you can help me. I keep seeing “No Data” if I open Fortiview on my fortimanager.
    I have 2 Fortigates (300D and a 200D) connected to it.
    If I select logview, I can see all the traffic info of both Fortigates.
    If I log on on the Fortigates, Fortiview is working fine. But somehow I can not get data in Fortiview on the Fortimanager.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Regards.
    Stief

      What version of FortiOS are you running on the Manager as well as the FortiGates? (I know you posted this on the FortiManager 5.2 page but I would like to confirm)

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for the reply.
    It’s set to log all traffic. But also UTM stuff.
    In Logview I can see everything but Fortiview stays empty.

    I would check to see if ADOM’s were enabled. If they aren’t….enable them and make sure the ADOM that the FortiGate’s are a part of are listed as 5.4.

    Sometimes I notice weird shenannigans and after looking deeper it is because during the upgrade process, or something along those lines…..the FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer is still operating the devices beneath it in 5.2 mode.

    Let me know if that doesn’t make any sense. Long day so this response is sort of stream of consciousness lol
