Question

FortiManager

Hi Team,

We have a requirement to setup alerting from Fortimanager and the alerting should be pushed to ticketing tool to create the ticket.

We have multiple Fortigate SDWAN devices are being managed from Fortimanager. Can we aceive the below?

> FortiManager to pull all the devices CPU, Memory, Interface utilizations and all the SNMP traps.

> Can we set the thresholds for each of the traps and system resources.

> Fortimanager to trigger an alert to SNOW when it hits the threshold.

Is it acheivable?

Can all the devcies be monitored from Fortimanager at all?

Do we need to setup each device or can we setup the thresold or any monitoring config from Fortimanager and push it to the devices, kind of centralized management?

Any suggestion or guidance will really help.

Regards,

Sanjay S

How many FortiGate SD-WAN devices are being managed by FortiManager? Does the number of devices affect performance or monitoring capabilities?

Hi @jaefal990,

 

Thanks for your reply!

We currently have 12 devices. But my concern is not about the performance.My concern is all about weather all the above requirements is possible from Fortimanager at all or not?

Hi @ssan239,

 

that is not achievable from FortiManager. FortiManager has a different scope as device which is related to centralized device management and provisioning.

 

What you are requiring is actually done by FortiSIEM in Performance and availability metrics collection. It will poll devices for info like cpdu/disk/memory, apps
performance and availability information to have a health view of devices.

Depending on this data it can then trigger alarms or perform other security actions.
