On the FortiGate itself there is a local report, or at least a chart you can add to a report, entitled " Top Users by Bandwidth" . FortiAnalyzer also has something similar.

It would be great, but I can not find it. Can you guide me a little bit?

kcerb,
Sorry I was referring to the actual report section. I think having a widget track bandwidth at a source IP level would probably be too intensive for the unit. Check here:

It keeps changing in almost every version. It used to be under ' Log&Report' -> ' Report Access' -> ' Bandwidth and Application Usage' in v4 and now in ' Log&Report' -> ' Report' -> ' Local' in v5.
Instead of displaying the report on the GUI like in the old days, you can download the scheduled report-only from this location in a PDF.
You may need to enable logging first in ' Log & Report' -> ' Log Config' -> ' Log Settings' to get the reports generated.

But it is possible to restrict this or other report to only wan1 traffic (to and from)? Now my FGT holds routing between all my VLANs and I just want to check who is consuming my internet connection at a time (online).

You can customise the reports under ' Log&Reports' -> ' Report' -> ' Local' -> ' Customize' and either using the pre-defined charts or create one by clicking on the ' Chart' icon.
You are pretty limited though about what you can achieve this way.
Better way would be to use FAZ and an external DB (MySQL is supported) to dump the stats to this server, than to use your reporting tool to create the fancy charts.
Third option is to use your SQL skills and build your own report. You can do something similar in CLI;
# get report database schema
gives you an idea about how the database stores the information. Than you can built your own report. Eg. just as an example;
config report dataset
edit " appctrl.Dist.Type.last24h"
set query " select app_type, count(*) as totalnum from app_control_log where timestamp >= F_TIMESTAMP(' now' ,' hour' ,' -23' ) and (app_type is not null and app_type!=' N/A' ) group by app_type order by totalnum desc"
next
