The FortiView Cloud Applications console provides information about the cloud applications being used on your network. This includes information such as:

  • The names of videos viewed on YouTube (visible by hovering the cursor over the session entry)
  • Filed uploaded and downloaded from cloud hosting services such as Dropbox
  • Account names used for cloud services

Two different views are available for the Cloud Applications: Applications and Users (located in the top menu bar next to the time periods). Applications shows a list of the programs being used. Users shows information on the individual users of the cloud applications, including the username, if the FortiProxy unit was able to view the login event.

You can sort the data by bytes, sessions, or files (up or down). The data can be filtered by 5 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours. You can select which cloud applications are displayed.
