Avatars

Avatars

When FortiClient sends logs to FortiAnalyzer, an avatar for each user can be displayed in the Source column in the FortiView > FortiView and Log View panes. FortiAnalyzer can display an avatar when FortiClient is managed by FortiGate or FortiClient EMS with logging to FortiAnalyzer enabled.

  • When FortiClient Telemetry connects to FortiGate, FortiClient sends logs (including avatars) to FortiGate, and the logs display in FortiAnalyzer under the FortiGate device as a sub-type of security.

    The avatar is synchronized from FortiGate to FortiAnalyzer by using the FortiOS REST API.

  • When FortiClient Telemetry connects to FortiClient EMS, FortiClient sends logs (including avatars) directly to FortiAnalyzer, and logs display in a FortiClient ADOM.

If FortiAnalyzer cannot find the defined picture, a generic, gray avatar is displayed.

You can also optionally define an avatar for FortiAnalyzer administrators. See Creating administrators.
