System Status
This section describes the System Status page, the dashboard of your FortiGate unit. At a
glance you can view the current system status of the FortiGate unit including serial
number, uptime, FortiGuard™ license information, system resource usage, alert
messages and network statistics.
If you enable virtual domains (VDOMs) on the FortiGate unit, the status page is available
globally and system status settings are configured globally for the entire FortiGate unit.
The Topology viewer is not available when VDOMs are enabled. For details, see “Using
virtual domains” on page 159.

Viewing the system dashboard
View the system dashboard for a snapshot and detailed information about the current
operating status of the FortiGate unit. To view the system dashboard go to System >
Status > Dashboard. FortiGate administrators whose admin profiles permit write access to
system configuration can change or update FortiGate unit information. For more
information on admin profiles, see “Admin profiles” on page 280.
When the FortiGate unit is part of an HA cluster, the System Status page includes basic
high availability (HA) cluster status such as including the name of the cluster and the
cluster members including their host names. To view more specialized HA status
information for the cluster, go to System > Config > HA. For more information, see “HA” on
page 233.

Note: The information on the System Status page applies to the whole HA cluster, not just
the primary unit. This includes information such as URLs visited, emails sent and received,
and viruses caught.
