Kindest Regards,

Hi there, 

Try, 

1) Login via CLI SSH and try ping to any of the FQDN and make sure it able to resolve. 

exe ping www.fortinet.com 

2) If not able to resolve, check configured DNS setting, if the system DNS is correct, then check step (3).

show system dns

3) Make sure the outgoing DNS port is allow by your upstream device, if there is DNS response, you should see the response accordingly. 

diag sniffer packet any 'port 53' 4 0

4) Also, make sure your upstream device allow outgoing port TCP/443.

I know this post is old, but I faced the same issue today and found the solution, so I’m sharing it here in case it helps someone else.

My FortiManager VM could ping public IPs (like 8.8.8.8) without any problem, but it failed when trying to ping domain names such as www.google.com.

The cause turned out to be very simple: DNS was not configured on FortiManager.
Once I manually set DNS servers, everything worked immediately.

Fix

Run the following in the FortiManager CLI:
config system dns
set primary 8.8.8.8
set secondary 1.1.1.1
end
