You can check the utilization of a user’s application on the Fortinet 60F firewall (v7.2.8) using the following methods:

1. Using FortiView (GUI)

  1. Log in to the FortiGate Web Interface.
  2. Navigate to FortiView > Applications.
  3. Select the appropriate timeframe to view historical data.
  4. Use filters to find usage by a specific user, IP address, or application.

2. Using Log & Report (GUI)

  1. Go to Log & Report > Traffic Log.
  2. Apply filters such as source IP, application, or user.
  3. Check the bandwidth consumption and session details.

3. Using CLI (Command Line)

If you prefer CLI, you can use:

diagnose sys top

(To check real-time bandwidth usage)

Or, to view detailed session data:

diagnose firewall session list

For application-specific statistics:

diagnose user application-list

Would you like more details on any of these steps?
