Technical Tip: FortiView Monitor feature doesn’t show the graph in FortiGate.

FortiView monitors do not display load vs. time graphs.

1. Dashboard -> FortiView Sources/Destinations/Policies. The graph above the table is not visible.

To fix:                

2. Check if the FortiGate model has 'Log hard disk: Available' by running this CLI command:
