Overview
The Overview page greets you by name and shows:
- waiting for your approval (approvers only), with a Review link;
- changes in flight: requests awaiting approval or approved but not yet deployed;
- the number of firewalls and management domains (shown as "FortiGates in N ADOMs"), and how many are unreachable;
- audit findings across N policies;
- Rule base health: a bar of findings by severity, a chip per finding type (click one to open the filtered findings), and up to six critical or high findings;
- Your requests, or Recent requests if you have none;
- New rule request (requesters).
Offline snapshots are not counted on the Overview.
License banner
A banner across the top of every page appears when the FireSight license needs attention:
- during a grace period, with the date new deployments stop;
- when new deployments are stopped;
- for administrators only, in the last seven days of an evaluation.
Administrators see a License settings link in the banner. Other people see the state and dates only. See Licensing.
Dates and times
Lists show relative times such as 5 min ago or 3 days ago; older items show the date. Detail views show the date and time in your browser's time zone.
