System Settings

System Resources widget

The System Resources widget displays the usage status of the CPUs, memory, and hard disk. You can view system resource information in real-time or historical format, as well as average or individual CPU usage.

On VMs, warning messages are displayed if the amount of memory or the number of CPUs assigned are too low, or if the allocated hard drive space is less than the licensed amount. These warnings are also shown in the notification list (see GUI overview on page 12). Clicking on a warning opens the FortiAnalyzerVM Install Guide.

To toggle between real-time and historical data, click Edit in the widget toolbar, select Historical or Real-time, edit the other settings as required, then click OK.

To view individual CPU usage, from the Real-Time display, click on the CPU chart. To go back to the standard view, click the chart again.
