Technical Tip: FortiView Traffic Shaping 'No Results' for per-ip shaper

Under Dashboard -> Status the following widget, FortiView Traffic Shaping by bytes has been added, however there are no results.

Navigate to Policy & Objects -> Traffic Shaping -> Traffic Shapers. In this example, the per-ip shaper, 'test_shaper' was created.

The per-ip shaper has been applied to the Traffic Shaping Policy:

In the Traffic Shapers, it is actively being used and applied to the LAN network, however, the FortiView Traffic Shaping dashboard widget still displays 'No results'.

The FortiView Traffic Shaping widget by design only displays information for forward shapers (shared shapers). By changing the Traffic Shaping Policy to use a shared shaper, the widget now displays information about the shared shaper.

To find information about the per-ip shaper use the following commands in the CLI:

diagnose firewall shaper per-ip-shaper list
