The installing log in FortiManager can be viewed using below methods:
- During install.
- From Revision History.
- From Task Monitor.
- Using API.
- During Install: Go to Device Manager -> Device & Groups -> Managed FortiGate -> Select a Device -> Install -> Install Wizard -> Select any install method -> Select Next and proceed with the install. Once install is completed 100%, select View Installation Log:
- From Revision History: Go to Device Manager -> Device & Groups -> Managed FortiGate -> Select a Device -> Dashboard -> Summary -> Under Configuration and Installation widget -> Select the number besides Total Revision -> Select an entry (Install log is available for entries Installed or Fail) -> Select View Install Log:
- From Task Monitor: Go to System Settings -> Task Monitor -> Select a task (installation tasks have the description 'Install package to the device from commit') -> Select View Details -> Select any entry (in case of installation to multiple devices, there will be multiple entries each corresponding to a single device) -> Select View Installation Log:
- Using API: In this case, the regular POST request using 'https://{{host-IP}}/jsonrpc' does not work. Login to FortiManager using POST request 'https://{{host-IP}}/cgi-bin/module/flatui_auth' with below query:
{
"url": "/gui/userauth",
"method": "login",
"params": {
"username": "{{ADMIN_USER}}",
"secretkey": "{{PASSWORD}}",
"logintype": 0
}
}
This will set the cookies for the session, particularly the 'HTTP_CSRF_TOKEN'. This token is then used for subsequent queries to maintain the session.
To get the Install log, use the POST request with 'https://{{host-IP}}/cgi-bin/module/flatui_proxy' and the below query:
{
"url": "/gui/deployment/adom/devices/{{DEVICE_OID}}/tasks/{{TASK_ID}}/log/preview",
"method": "get"
}
- TASK ID: ID of the task as seen in Task Monitor.
- DEVICE_OID: Object ID of the Device (FortiGate)
The TASK ID can be obtained using a POST request with 'https://{{host-IP}}//cgi-bin/module/forward' (or using the default https://{{host}}/jsonrpc) and below query:
{
"method": "get",
"params": [
{
"url": "task/task",
"loadsub": 0,
"sortings": [
{
"id": -1
}
]
}
]
}
To obtain the DEVICE_OID (OID), use the TASK ID and get the details of the task which includes the OID as well. Use POST request with 'https://{{host-IP}}//cgi-bin/module/forward' (or using the default https://{{host-IP}}/jsonrpc) and below query:
{
"method": "get",
"params": [
{
"url": "/task/task/{{TASK_ID}}}"
}
]
}
Here for the TASK ID 4905, the OID is 2078 which refers to the device 'FGT-60F'.
