Fortinet 3.0 MR7 manual Resetting to the default configuration, Alert Message Console

Dashboard System

Resetting to the default configuration

You can reset the FortiAnalyzer unit to its default configuration.

Resetting the configuration does not restore the original firmware. Configuration and firmware are distinct. Use the procedures in “Managing firmware versions” on page 169 for managing firmware.

Caution: Back up the configuration before resetting. Resetting the configuration deletes all ! changes you have made to the FortiAnalyzer configuration, reverting it to the firmware’s

default configuration, including resetting interface IP addresses.

To reset to the default configuration

1Go to System > Dashboard.

2In the System Operations area, select Reset.

3Select OK to confirm.

The FortiAnalyzer unit restarts with the default configuration for the currently installed firmware version.

Alert Message Console

The Alert Message Console displays alert messages for the FortiAnalyzer unit and connected devices, including hard disk failure messages, virus outbreak, or suspicious event warnings.

To set the threshold for Alert Message Console, or to view all the alert messages recorded by the FortiAnalyzer unit, select More alerts. For more information about viewing alert messages, see “Viewing alert console messages” on page 34.

Viewing alert console messages

Alert console messages provides a window on what is occurring on the FortiAnalyzer and other FortiGate devices. These messages allow you to view issues on your network, including network attacks and virus warnings.
