Technical Tip: How to trigger an event to show in the MGT Console FortiEDR

The Research and Development team has created a tool that can be used to trigger an event on a Windows OS device. 

This is a non malicious tool but it will trigger an event so that one can troubleshoot connectivity issue. 

Also, this tool can used to trigger an event for testing FortiGate that has been integrated with the management console. 

It will give the user an event that is communicated to 8.8.8.8 Google DNS Destination. 

How to do it.

• Users can download the tool from this link: Ask support for the tool from the ticket.
• Unzip password is encrypted.
• Run it on some Windows Device.
• Watch it show in the console on the event viewer page. 

If it does not trigger the Google IP address then one needs to set an exception for the event that showed up and then run it again.
