What does the disk status Degraded mean for RAID management?

  1. The hard drive is no longer being used by the RAID controller.
  2. One or more drives are missing from the FortiAnalyzer unit.
  3. The device is writing data to the disk to restore the volume to an optimal state.
  4. FortiAnalyzer determined that the parity data in the disk is not valid.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When the RAID status is Degraded, it typically indicates that one or more drives in the RAID array have failed or are missing, causing the RAID array to operate with reduced redundancy. In this state, the array is still functioning, but it's at risk because the fault tolerance provided by RAID is compromised.



Which process is responsible for enforcing the log file size?

  1. oftpd
  2. miglogd
  3. sqlplugind
  4. logfiled

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The logfiled process is responsible for enforcing log file size and managing log rotation on FortiAnalyzer. It ensures that log files do not exceed the configured size limits and handles the creation and rotation of new log files when necessary.



Which two statements about FortiAnalyzer operating modes are true? (Choose two.)

  1. When in collector mode, FortiAnalyzer offloads the log receiving task to the analyzer.
  2. When in analyzer mode, FortiAnalyzer supports event management and reporting features.
  3. For the collector, you should allocate most of the disk space to analytics logs.
  4. Analyzer mode is the default operating mode.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When in analyzer mode, FortiAnalyzer supports event management and reporting features.

In analyzer mode, FortiAnalyzer provides full support for log analysis, event management, and reporting capabilities.

Analyzer mode is the default operating mode.

By default, FortiAnalyzer operates in analyzer mode, which allows for log analysis and reporting.

The other options are incorrect because:

In collector mode, the FortiAnalyzer primarily stores logs and forwards them to another FortiAnalyzer in analyzer mode, not the other way around.

In collector mode, most disk space is usually allocated to storage rather than analytics, as the logs are primarily stored for forwarding.



Which two statements regarding FortiAnalyzer log forwarding modes are true? (Choose two.)

  1. Both modes, forwarding and aggregation, support encryption of logs between devices.
  2. In aggregation mode, you can forward logs to syslog and CEF servers.
  3. Forwarding mode forwards logs in real time only to other FortiAnalyzer devices.
  4. Aggregation mode stores logs and content files and uploads them to another FortiAnalyzer device at a scheduled time.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

Both modes, forwarding and aggregation, support encryption of logs between devices.

Both forwarding and aggregation modes can use encryption to securely transfer logs between FortiAnalyzer devices.

Aggregation mode stores logs and content files and uploads them to another FortiAnalyzer device at a scheduled time.

In aggregation mode, logs are stored and then transferred to another FortiAnalyzer at a scheduled time, rather than in real-time. This mode is typically used when consolidating logs from multiple devices into a central FortiAnalyzer.

The other options are incorrect because:

Forwarding mode sends logs in real-time but not exclusively to other FortiAnalyzer devices; it can also send logs to external systems like syslog servers.

Aggregation mode is primarily for consolidating logs to another FortiAnalyzer and doesn't focus on forwarding logs to syslog or CEF servers.



You are trying to initiate an authorization request from FortiGate to FortiAnalyzer, but the Security Fabric window does not open when you click Authorize.

Which two reasons can cause this to happen? (Choose two.)

  1. A pre-shared key needs to be established on both sides.
  2. The management computer does not have connectivity to the authorization IP address and port combination.
  3. The Security Fabric root is unauthorized and needs to be added as a trusted host.
  4. The fabric authorization settings on FortiAnalyzer are misconfigured.

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

The management computer does not have connectivity to the authorization IP address and port combination.

If there is no network connectivity between the management computer and the FortiAnalyzer on the specific IP address and port used for authorization, the Security Fabric window will not open.

The fabric authorization settings on FortiAnalyzer are misconfigured.

If the fabric authorization settings on FortiAnalyzer are not properly configured, FortiGate will not be able to initiate the authorization request, preventing the Security Fabric window from opening.

The other options are not applicable because:

Pre-shared keys are not required for initial authorization between FortiGate and FortiAnalyzer; they are typically used for establishing VPN tunnels.

The Security Fabric root does not need to be added as a trusted host to open the authorization window. Trusted hosts are more relevant to FortiGate's access control for management interfaces.
