FortiWAN Reports works by parsing and analyzing the various system logs. Before using the FortiWAN Reports, you have to enable it by specifying the way and the events to push system logs to Reports. You will be redirected to Log > Reports to complete the necessary settings to enable the FortiWAN Reports (See “Log > Reports”).

Users can read the content of the annotation through clicking the icon. Click Settings > IP Annotation to enter the IP Annotation settings page.

The refresh interval keeps your dashboard in sync with the latest data, however frequent page refresh might cause high CPU usage especially when FortiWAN is processing large traffic flow. Please select the appropriate fresh interval for your system. The options are refreshing dashboard every 5 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec and 30 sec, or Do not refresh the dashboard.

Email Server

Individual reports (See “Report Email”) and system alerts (See “Disk Space Control”) can be sent to users via email.

Note that configuration here is the same as the configuration made in the tab “Email” of every report page (See “Report Email”).You can maintain the unique configuration of mail server for Reports via Settings > Email Server or the “Email” function of every report page. The mail servers used for Reports, log push (See “Log Control”) and notifications (See “Notification”) could be different. Click Settings > Email Server to enter the Email Server settings page.
