Viewing system status<br />

View the System Status page, also known as the system dashboard, for a<br />

snapshot of the current operating status of the <strong>FortiGate</strong> unit. <strong>FortiGate</strong><br />

administrators whose access profiles permit read access to system configuration<br />

can view system status information.<br />

When the <strong>FortiGate</strong> unit is part of an HA cluster, the Status page includes basic<br />

HA cluster status information including the name of the cluster and the cluster<br />

members including their hostnames. To view more <strong>com</strong>plete status information for<br />

the cluster, go to System > Config > HA. For more information, see “HA” on<br />

page 135. HA is not available on <strong>FortiGate</strong> models 50A, 50AM, and 224B.<br />

<strong>FortiGate</strong> administrators whose access profiles permit write access to system<br />

configuration can change or update <strong>FortiGate</strong> unit information. For information on<br />

access profiles, see “Access profiles” on page 169.<br />

The System Status page displays by default when you log in to the web-based<br />

manager.<br />

At any time, go to System > Status to view the System Status page.<br />

To view this page, your access profile must permit read access to system<br />

configuration. If you also have system configuration write access, you can modify<br />

system information and update FortiGuard - AV and FortiGuard - IPS definitions.<br />

For information on access profiles, see “Access profiles” on page 169.<br />
