FortiADC - pool and VIP statistics - CPU cost

[Zdenek1]

Hello,

I come from F5 world where it's natively saving info about VIP,pool,pool member, etc.. statistics.

Is it so that FortiADC does not log VIP/pool statistics by default, they have to be enabled by using "FortiView"? Is there any "cost" of that? Can FortiView when used at hundreds of virtual servers consume too much of CPU/Mem resources?

Thanks

Hi Zdenek,

The cost of enabling the FortiView is minimal, but it does consume CPU/memory resources and will be consuming more if there are hundreds of virtual servers noticeably on the memory consumption. That is why the FortiView is disabled by default for each Virtual Servers. 

It is recommended that to only enable the FortiView on important Virtual Servers only instead of enabling for all.

So the only way to get to statistics is to enable FortiView, thanks.
