Managing FortiManager

eG Enterprise is capable of automatically discovering the FortiManager, and also allows you to manually add the component for monitoring. To manage a FortiManager, do the following:

1. Login to the eG admin interface as a user with administrative privileges.

2. If the FortiManager is already discovered, then directly proceed towards managing it using the COMPONENTS – MANAGE/UNMANAGE page.

3. However, if it is yet to be discovered, then run discovery (Infrastructure -> Components -> Discover) to get it discovered or follow the Components -> Add/Modify menu sequence in the Infrastructure tile of the Admin menu to manually add the component using the Components page. Remember that components manually added are managed automatically.

4. In the COMPONENT page that appears next (see Figure 1), select FortiManager as the Component type. Then, click the Add New Component button.

5. Specify the Host IP/Name and the Nick name of the FortiManager as shown in Figure 1, and click the Add button to register the changes.

6. Once the FortiManager is added successfully, you will be again redirected to the Components page (see Figure 2). Using the options provided in the Components page, you can modify, unmanage or delete the newly added component. In addition, you can also configure the tests.
