FortiView Feature Support – Platform Matrix

Basic feature support

FortiView’s consoles give insight into your user’s traffic, not merely showing which users are creating the most traffic, but what sort of traffic it is, when the traffic occurs, and what kind of threat the traffic may pose to the network.

 

FortiView basic feature support consists of the following consoles:

  • Sources
  • Destinations
  • Interfaces
  • Policies
  • Countries
  • All Sessions
  • Applications

 

The complete array of features in FortiView requires disk logging enabled (see below). It includes those consoles listed above as well as the following:

  • WiFi Clients
  • Cloud Applications
  • Web Sites
  • Threats
  • Failed Authentication
  • System Events
  • Admin Logins
  • VPN

Historical Data

Not all consoles have the same available historical data options, depending on whether or not your traffic is locally stored.

Below is a table showing which features are available for units using local storage, including the historical data options.

Only FortiGate models 100D and above support the 24 hour historical data.
