What are two benefits of using fabric connectors? (Choose two.)
Using fabric connectors improves redundancy and is more efficient than using third-party polling with API. Fabric connectors allow for a more streamlined process, enhancing the performance of FortiAnalyzer by reducing the need for external API calls. Additionally, improving redundancy ensures better data availability and reliability.
The answer is C & D. After much research I found this in the 7.0 Study Guide instead of the 7.2 study guide. A is wrong because of the word 'real-time'. The text on page 34 says 'Storage connectors allow you to back up data (rolled logs) to public cloud accounts in Amazon S3, Microsoft, Azure, and Google Cloud.' - so it's back up data and not live data. B is wrong. The text on page 35 says 'In order to send logs to cloud platforms, you must buy a separate license for the Storage Connector Service,' C is correct. The slide on page 34 has a bullet point saying 'Improves data redundancy.' D is correct. The text on page 34 says 'This approach is more efficient than third-party platforms polling information from the FortiAnalyzer API at predefined intervals, which could result in FortiAnalyzer performance degradation.

As explained by GriffXX, see the FortiAnalyzer 7.0 Study Guide page 34
B & D Additionally, the ability to send logs to cloud storage platforms like Amazon S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud directly through storage connectors is a built-in feature that does not require an additional license, thus saving on storage costs and improving redundancy without incurring extra licensing fees.
C and D are correct Best explanation of GriffXX
Correct Answer BD
Fabric Connectors are 3 types: Storage Pulic cloud accounts (MS Azure, Amazons AWS S3 and Google GCP) 2- ITSM and Webhook 3- FortiEMS, FortiMail and Frotigate .. soFabric Connector allows FortiAnalyzer to send logs in real-time to a CSP Cloud storage account.
