Extension
Free trialDocumentation
When configured, the extension installs a dashboard that provides an overview of all FortiGate devices monitored in environment.Tunnels and interfaces are detected for each individual FortiGate device.Standard system status metrics are retrieved for each monitored FortiGate device.Traffic is measured for each monitored interface.Monitor traffic and errors for each individual interface.For each detected tunnel, the extension identifies a list of associated proxies and brings in the traffic data.Extension retrieves detailed traffic and status data for each monitored tunnel proxy.The monitoring configuration screen makes it possible to limit monitoring to specific interfaces, tunnels, and proxies. It is possible to prevent the extension from raising problems when it fails to either ping, log in, or retrieve system status from a FortiGate device.

Overview

The FortiGate Monitoring extension uses HTTP API requests to gather data remotely, ensuring that data from your Fortinet FortiGate devices is collected every minute and analyzed continuously by our platform. This tool offers insights that extend beyond simple charting, covering the extensive features and capabilities of the FortiGate devices. Our unified analysis pages provide deep insights into both the health and performance of your network security infrastructure, while our analytics engine sets baselines and alerts for critical indicators. With a topology-first approach, our AI-driven analytics can explore and correlate detected issues across components to pinpoint root causes.

This is designed for users who:

  • Aim to monitor the health state and performance of their FortiGate Fortinet devices
  • Seek analysis support for security, IT, and network administrators.

This enables you to:

  • Monitor your network security infrastructure with an all-encompassing dashboard
  • Detect network anomalies and establish alerting mechanisms for them
  • Monitor traffic, errors, and connectivity to the devices
  • Implement proactive measures to prevent security incidents and service degradation

Use cases

  • Monitor Fortinet FortiGate infrastructure and resource utilization
  • Understand the health and performance of firewall, interfaces, tunnels, and proxies
  • Enable alerting on detected anomalies

Compatibility information

The extension retrieves the list of interfaces and available interfaces from the two endpoints below:

  • /monitor/system/interface/select?scope=global
  • /monitor/system/available-interfaces/select

As such, queries to CMDB endpoints are not performed and include_vlan parameter is not added to the query. This may lead to not all virtual interfaces being collected during data acquisition process.

Full version history

Breaking changes:

  • This is a new MAJOR release. Not compatible with previously published versions.
  • Any existing monitoring configurations will have to be recreated.

Bug fixes:

  • Inability to filter down interfaces due to the splitlines attribute bug.

Improvements:

  • Highly improved parallel execution.
  • Option to enable problem alerts on: Login failure, Ping failure, system status retrieval failure.
