  2. If the user removes all the monitors on the GUI, the add monitor button will disappear.

  3. Setting up the Dashboard from the CLI can recover the add monitor button.

 

config system admin
    edit "admin"
        config gui-dashboard
            edit 27
                set name "test"
                set vdom "root"
                set layout-type standalone
                    config widget
                        edit 1
                            set type fortiview
                            set width 1
                            set height 1
                            set fortiview-type "soruceInterface"
                            set fortiview-sort-by "bytes"
                            set fortiview-timeframe "hour"
                        next
                    end
    next
