Description This article describes the correct way to view the Dashboard for a downstream FortiGate in the Security Fabric,
Scope FortiGate v7.x.x+
Solution

When adding a new FortiGate to the Security Fabric and navigating to it via the root FortiGate, the 'Dashboard' tab is not visible.

This can cause some confusion as this is usually the way to see the Dashboard when the device is standalone under Status:

Instead, stay on the Dashboard tab in the root FortiGate and use the dropdown menu on the right to navigate to the dashboard for each device.
