Why each option
Green status indicators next to FortiGuard Distribution Network services signify that the FortiGate has successfully established connectivity to the FortiGuard servers for those services.
Green status indicates connectivity, not necessarily that the FortiGate has the latest updates; a separate timestamp or version number would confirm that.
The green status indicates connectivity, not that updates are specifically available for download, although with connectivity, the FortiGate can check for and download them.
A different status indicator or log entry would typically show if an update is actively in progress; green indicates a stable connection state.
Green status indicators for FortiGuard services, as seen in the FortiGate GUI, typically confirm that the FortiGate unit can successfully connect to the FortiGuard Distribution Network for those specific services (e.g., AV, IPS, Web Filtering), allowing it to query for updates or perform lookups.
