Dataset
FortiManager datasets are collections of log files from monitored devices. Reports are generated based on these datasets.
To view a listing of the available predefined datasets, see Appendix E: Charts, Datasets, & Macros.
Predefined datasets for each supported device type are provided, and new datasets can be created and configured. Both predefined and custom datasets can be cloned, but only custom datasets can be deleted. You can also view the SQL query for a dataset, and test the query against specific devices or all devices.
To view and configure datasets, go to Reports > Advanced > Dataset in the tree menu.
