    Could you please confirm for us where you got the screenshot from?

    If the screenshot is taken from the FortiView >> All Sessions section then I wouldn't worry about it at all. Concurrent sessions means the number of connections in the connection table at the same time while the Total value is most likely the number of sessions currently displayed. Concurrent sessions do not represent the total number of connections your Fortigate can support since that would be within the region of tens of thousands of connections.

     

    I hope that helps.

    I'd rather deduct from the screenshot that 49 sessions which already were created are not currently displayed in the tables - probably the 'total sessions' is more current. Collecting the table contents would take longer than just fetching this one count. If so, the table display will always lag a bit behind the current number of sessions.
