NSE6_FAZ-7.2 Fortinet NSE 6 - FortiAnalyzer 7.2 Administrator Questions and Answers

The commanddiagnose debug application oftpd 8is used to obtain detailed debug output for the OFTP (Over the FortiGate Protocol) daemon on FortiAnalyzer. This protocol is responsible for the communication and log transfer between FortiGate devices and FortiAnalyzer. By using this debug level, administrators can find information including the IP addresses of devices that are sending logs to FortiAnalyzer.References:FortiOS 7.4.1 Administration Guide, "Diagnostic commands" section.

Link aggregation is a method used to combine multiple network connections in parallel to increase throughput and provide redundancy in case one of the links fail. This feature is used in network appliances, including FortiAnalyzer, to add redundancy to the network connections, ensuring that there is a backup path for traffic if the primary path becomes unavailable.References:The FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide explains the concept of link aggregation and its relevance to

The default operating mode for FortiAnalyzer is analyzer mode. In this mode, FortiAnalyzer provides full functionality for event management and reporting features. This mode is intended for environments where comprehensive analysis and reporting are required. It allows FortiAnalyzer to collect, analyze, and store logs, as well as generate reports and manage events.References:FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide, "Operating modes" section.

When you move a registered logging device from one ADOM (Administrative Domain) to another in FortiAnalyzer, it's essential to ensure that the analytical logs for the moved device are available in the new ADOM to maintain continuity in reporting and log analysis. The commandexecute sql-local rebuild-adom <new-ADOM-name>is used specifically for this purpose. Running this command populates the new ADOM with the analytical logs of the moved device, enabling you to generate accurate and comprehensive reports based on the historical data of the device in its new ADOM context. This process ensures that the transition of devices between ADOMs does not lead to a loss of analytical insight or reporting capabilities for the device's traffic and events.

If the administrator "fortinet" can view logs and perform device management tasks but cannot create a mail server for alert emails, it is likely due to the administrative profile assigned to them. The Standard_User administrative profile may restrict certain administrative functions, such as creating mail servers. To perform all administrative tasks, including creating mail servers, a higher privilege profile, such as Super_Admin, might be required.References:FortiAnalyzer 7.2 Administrator Guide, "Mail Server" section.

To allow non-local administrators to authenticate on FortiAnalyzer with any user account in a single LDAP group, you must configure one or more remote LDAP servers and an administrator group. First, you configure the LDAP server(s) by specifying the server name, IP, and other details such as the Common Name Identifier and Distinguished Name. Then, you add the LDAP server to a user group. Finally, you create an administrator account that uses this user group for authentication, allowing any user from the specified LDAP group to authenticate.References:FortiAnalyzer 7.2 Administrator Guide, "Configuring remote authentication for administrators using LDAP" section.
