How to Monitor FortiClient EMS Server via SNMP?

[RJ1]

We have on-prem FortiClient EMS server (7.2.x) which is an application that runs on a Windows Server. It does not appear to support SNMP. Other than just ICMP , any suggestions on the best way to monitor the EMS server?

The documents is about "connectivity status between the FortiGate Firewall and FortiClient EMS can be monitored using the SNMP server", I want to monitor EMS server only and not FGT and EMS connectivity status.

I have gone thru this article  but it does not help.

For now FCT EMS doesn't have a built in SNMP client yet. If you think that this feature is needed, kindly reach your local Fortinet SE and ask for an NFR.

If you want to get OS utilization information (like CPU, RAM, storage), you can use the windows built SNMP client. If there is FAZ or FMG you configure it to send the logs.

If the monitoring system supports API, you can also explore this option, more information can be found in FNDN.

Can we configure FortiAnalyzer to send logs to Solarwinds ? Is there any other configuration required in FortiAnalyzer?

Try use log forwarding by specifying syslog as remote server type, and EMS in device filter.
