Hi,

For the benefit of others the exact report name is FortiGate Performance Statistics Report

Regarding the data:

[ul]
  • Logs per second - how many log entries are sent (given they are set to real time) to the Fortianalyzer from the Fortigate
  • Sessions: number of sessions passing the Fortigate at Average over the time period the report was generated for, and Peak Sessions seen over the same period.
  • Bandwidth - volume of traffic passing the Fortigate on average and the Peak over the given period, just as you would see in Fortigate in Fortiview/Bandwidth Widget[/ul]

    There is none as there is no such thing Fortigate Resources in this report, just Average and Peak.
