Statistics

The Statistics menu provides administrators with a view of instant messaging and
point to point statistics to gain insight into how these protocols are being used
within the network.

The Overview tab provides detail statistics for all IM/P2P protocols. The Protocol
tab displays statistics for current users, blocked users and users since last reset.

User

The User menu displays which instant messenger users are connected. Network
administrators can analyze the list and decide which users to allow or block.

The Config tab enables administrators to configure what to do with unknown
users.

Log & Report

The Log and Report menu has a new menu, Report. Log & Report consists of the
following menus:

Log Config

Log Access

Report

Log Config

The Log Config menu has a new tab, Event Log. The Event Log tab enables you
to choose the events you want logged. This menu also includes the Alert E-mail
tab. The Alert E-mail tab is the same as in FortiOS v2.80MR11, providing
immediate notification of issues occurring on the FortiGate unit, such as system
failures or network attacks.

In the Log Setting tab, you can test the connectivity between the FortiGate unit
and the FortiAnalyzer unit to check connection status.

Also, instead of configuring the connection between the two devices, you can
enable a new feature called FortiDiscovery to automatically discover and connect
to a FortiAnalyzer unit. The FortiDiscovery feature uses HELLO packets to locate
the FortiAnalyzer unit(s) that are on the network within the same subnet.
