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 103.

Status page
View the System Status page, also known as the system dashboard, for a snapshot of the
current operating status of the FortiGate unit. 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 222.
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 177.
FortiGate administrators whose admin profiles permit write access to system configuration
