Solution	The connection status 'Not Managed' indicates that the FortiGate is not connected to the FortiCloud manager server. First, make sure that FortiGate is under the Product Lists of the FortiCloud Account. Sometimes FortiGate can be under decommissioned units. In this case, the FortiGate unit should be moved back to the Product Lists : At the FortiGate end, make sure FortiGate is logged in to the proper FortiCloud account and the correct region is configured on both ends. Even with the FortiGate cloud status Activated, the Central management status cannot be Managed. Validate the rating status using the below command: diagnose debug rating If the output shows the flags as F, for all the servers as below indicates F=Failed: The server is down.
