Network Monitoring & Alerts - Realtime

[oganifrun]

Hey all... I've been tasked with finding a solution that will send us alerts in real-time when any Fortinet fabric components (firewalls, switches, WAPs, etc) are offline or unreachable. We manage several sites in different geographical locations, and each site is isolated from one another. Therefore, we don't have an on-prem data center solution that we can utilize for alerting. The solution will have to be cloud-based and intelligent enough to scan each site LAN and report back any outages. I was hoping that Fortinet had a built-in solution with either FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager, but it doesn't appear that either product can do real-time alerting.

Any ideas or suggestions on what we could use? Thanks in advance.

Hello

If you just want to monitor your Fortinet fabric devices then you can do it with automation stitches, but if you need to monitor all your network devices then you need something lik Zabbix or similar.

Hi  

You can use FortiMonitor to monitor devices like firewalls, switches, APs, etc, and send alerts when they breach the specified threshold set. You also get the option to monitor the CPU, Memory, Bandwidth, etc of the network devices.
