Can' t find ' Per-IP Bandwidth Usage' widget

I have a Fortigate 60C currently running firmware v5.0,build0252 (GA Patch 5). The ' Per-IP Bandwidth Usage' widget is one I have used before to track down users that are using a lot of bandwidth on the network. However currently I can' t see it as an option when I try and add a widget, I am thinking that possibly this widget was only available in an earlier firmware version. Should this widget be available and if so can you tell me where to find it? If not is there a similar widget/report I can get, or is this widget included in the latest firmware?

Hi, and welcome to the forums. On my FWF-60D running 5.0.7:

    config system admin       edit " admin"           set accprofile " super_admin"           set vdom " root"               config dashboard-tabs                  edit 1                      set name " Status"                   next                  edit 2                      set name " Statistik"                   next              end  ...              config dashboard                   edit 13                      set widget-type per-ip-usage                      set tab-id 2                      set column 1                      set refresh-interval 60                  next

The widget title is " Top Clients by Bandwidth" .

I have on the desk FortiGate-60C v5.2.0,build0589, and there is no predefined widget for ' Per-IP Bandwidth Usage' in that version also. It is possible to create one with modifying ' All sessions' widget. And if you have User-ID enabled you can go User & Device -> Monitor -> Firewall and from there find out who is consuming most the line capacity.

You can add these (and several others) in the CLI without problems.

Thanks for the flowers but...on 5.2.1 I can' t specify ' per-IP-usage' as widget-type. Anyone else using 5.2.1?

Just found a note on the " What' s New in 5.2" doc that states that the per-IP-bandwidth widget and CLI options are gone in v5.2. Why oh why...

The same information is available within FortiView in 5.2.

Hi all,

I find in FortiView something like per-ip user bandwidth. But I don't think that this is what I am looking for. When I download the 50MB file the chart show me that I received 50 MB (I have 10MB Internet connectivity). OK, that's cool that he can show me this, but I want to know in one moment which user consume my bandwidth, not total in longer period of time.

Do you know what I mean? Could you know which Fortigate feature can do this?
