Troubleshooting Tip: FortiADC-Report displays information just from top-5 links with more bandwidth/sessions consumption

Description

This article describes the feature of FortiADC to generate reports based on the log messages that FortiADC has recorded.

Those include the information of the LLB (LinkLoadBalance) solution that displays the bandwidth or the number of sessions handled for each GatewayLink.

  • LLB-Top-Link-by-Bytes.
  • LLB-History-Flow-By-Bytes (total traffic over time).

 

Even more than 5 gateway-links were configured, the FortiADC-Report will display just the information of the top-5 with more bandwidth or session consumption though.

Scope FortiADC.
Solution
Before it can generate a report, FortiADC appliances require a report profile that indicates the settings that the appliance should use, such as the report name, file format, subject matter, and other aspects.
 
FortiADC appliances can generate reports automatically, according to the schedule configured in the report profile, or manually, clicking the Run now icon in the report profile list.
 
Note: Generating reports can be resource-intensive. To avoid traffic processing performance impacts, is recommended to generate reports during times with low traffic volume, such as at night or weekends.
 
In this example, it was configured 11 gateway-links:
 
config link-load-balance gateway
    edit "Gateway_AZTECA"
        set ip 181.225.xxx.xxx
    edit "Gateway_INTERNEXA"
        set ip 179.1.xxx.xxx
    edit "Gateway_ETB"
        set ip 201.245.xxx.xxx
    edit "Gateway_CIRION"
        set ip 190.216.xxx.xxx
    edit "Gateway_TELEFONICA"
        set ip 190.254.xxx.xxx
    edit "Gateway_CIRION_UNIVIDEO"
        set ip 204.199.xxx.xxx
    edit "Gateway_TELEFONICA_UNIVIDEO"
        set ip 190.255.XXX.XXX
    edit "GATEWAY-AZTECA-181.225.xxx.xxx"
        set ip 181.225.xxx.xxx
    edit "GATEWAY-AZTECA-181.225.xxx.xxx"
        set ip 181.225.xxx.XXX
    edit "GATEWAY-CIRION-190.216.xxx.xxx"
        set ip 190.216.xxx.xxx
    edit "GATEWAY-CIRION-190.216.xxx.xxx"
        set ip 190.216.xxx.xxx
end
 
Since the report collects the information from the local-logging, in this case LLB category must be enabled to get the info of LLB into the FortiADC-Report.
For example:
 
config log setting local
    set status enable
    set rotation-size 200
    set disk-full overwrite
    set loglevel debug
    set event-log-status enable
    set event-log-category configuration admin health_check system user slb llb glb fw 
    set traffic-log-status enable
    set traffic-log-category slb dns llb 
end
 
Configure the log-report-query:
 
config log report_queryset
    edit "LLB-Top-Link-by-Bytes"
        set module llb
        set traffic_sort_type bytes
        set llb_subtype top_link
    next
end
 
Bind the log-report-query profile to the log-report profile:
 
config log report
    edit "REPORTE_CONSUMO_ADC"
        set on-schedule enable
        set queryset LLB-Top-Link-by-Bytes LLB-History-Flow-By-Bytes DNS-Top-Source-by-Count ...
        set email-format pdf
        unset email-subject
        unset email-body
        unset email-attachname
        set email-compress enable
        set period-relative today
        set schedule-type daily
        set schedule-hour 12
    next
end
 
Note: On-demand reports are generated immediately. Scheduled reports are generated at intervals set in the schedule.
 
To generate a report immediately:
  1. Mark the check box of the report.
  2. Select Run now.
