What does the status Initializing indicate about what the FortiAnalyzer is currently doing?
When a RAID array is initializing, it typically means that data is being written to all the hard drives in the array to ensure that it is fault-tolerant. This process involves making sure that the RAID configuration is correctly set up to provide redundancy and protect against data loss in the case of a drive failure. Therefore, the FortiAnalyzer is making the array fault-tolerant by writing to all of its hard drives.
In the FortiAnalyzer FortiView, source and destination IP addresses from FortiGate devices are not resolving to a hostname.
How can you resolve the source and destination IP addresses, without introducing any additional performance impact to FortiAnalyzer?
To resolve the source and destination IP addresses without introducing any additional performance impact to FortiAnalyzer, you should configure the resolution on FortiGate devices. FortiAnalyzer is designed more for logging and reporting, while resolving IP addresses can be handled efficiently by the FortiGate device to minimize the load on FortiAnalyzer and ensure timely DNS resolution.
You have recently grouped multiple FortiGate devices into a single ADOM. System Settings > Storage Info shows the quota used.
What does the disk quota refer to?
The disk quota refers to the maximum disk utilization for all devices in the ADOM. This means that the total amount of disk space allocated to store logs and reports from all devices within that ADOM is limited by this quota.
Why should you use an NTP server on FortiAnalyzer and all registered devices that log into FortiAnalyzer?
Using an NTP server on FortiAnalyzer and all registered devices that log into FortiAnalyzer ensures that the clocks of all devices are synchronized. This is crucial for properly correlating logs, as log entries from different devices need to be accurately timestamped for effective event analysis, troubleshooting, and reporting.
You need to upgrade your FortiAnalyzer firmware.
What happens to the logs being sent to FortiAnalyzer from FortiGate during the time FortiAnalyzer is temporarily unavailable?
When FortiAnalyzer is temporarily unavailable during a firmware upgrade, FortiGate uses the miglogd process to cache the logs. The miglogd process ensures the logs are retained until FortiAnalyzer is back online and can receive the cached data.
