The FortiGate unit shuts down and all traffic flow stops.

The FortiGate unit can only be restarted after shutdown by turning the power off, then on.

System status

You can use the system status monitor to display FortiGate system health information. The system health information includes memory usage, the number of active communication sessions, and the amount of network bandwidth currently in use. The web-based manager displays current statistics as well as statistics for the previous minute.

You can also view current virus and intrusion status. The web-based manager displays the current number of viruses and attacks as well as a graph of virus and attack levels over the previous 20 hours.

In each case you can set an automatic refresh interval that updates the display every 5 to 30 seconds. You can also refresh the display manually.

Viewing CPU and memory status

Current CPU and memory status indicates how close the FortiGate unit is to running at full capacity. The web-based manager displays CPU and memory usage for core processes only. CPU and memory use for management processes (for example, for HTTPS connections to the web-based manager) is excluded.

If CPU and memory use is low, the FortiGate unit is able to process much more network traffic than is currently running. If CPU and memory use is high, the FortiGate unit is performing near its full capacity. Placing additional demands on the system could lead to traffic processing delays.
