Using the FortiNBI application

The FortiNBI application allows users to monitor isolation status and change the FortiProxy IP address that the application is connected to when needed.

FortiNBI Status tab

The FortiNBI Status tab shows the statuses of several components.

Service Status	Status of the FortiNBI service.
Connection Status	Status of the connection between the GUI and the FortiNBI service.
Isolator Status	Status of the isolator.
Information	The output of pressing the Start or Stop button, which starts or stops the FortiNBI service.
Start/Stop	Start or stop the background FortiNBI service.

Configuration tab

The Configuration tab displays the FortiProxy IP address that FortiNBI is connected to. Configure Detection Mode with one of the following options:

• Automatic: The FortiProxy IP address is resolved using the user's proxy settings.

• Manual: Manually configure the FortiProxy IP address by clicking Configure and entering the FortiProxy IP address. The client machine must have a proxy configured, which must match the IP address you configured in the FortiProxy.

  Fortinet recommends that you use Automatic mode as much as you can. Use Manual mode only if an issue with automatic mode prevents the system from detecting the FortiProxy IP address.

  

About tab
