Figure 422: Firewall user monitor list
IM user monitor list
User lists can be managed to allow or block certain users. Each user can be assigned a
policy to allow or block activity for each IM protocol. Each IM function can be individually
allowed or blocked providing the administrator the granularity to block the more bandwidth
consuming features such as voice chat while still allowing text messaging. The IM user
monitor list displays information about instant messaging users who are currently
connected. The list can be filtered by protocol. After IM users connect through the firewall,
the FortiGate unit displays which users are connected. You can analyze the list and
decide which users to allow or block.
To view the list of active IM users, go to User > Monitor > IM.
Refresh Refresh the Firewall user monitor list.
