Are ADOMs enabled by default in FortiAnalyzer?

ADOMs, or Administrative Domains, in FortiAnalyzer are designed to manage the complexity of larger deployments by segmenting data and administrative tasks into distinct domains. By default, ADOMs are not enabled in FortiAnalyzer. When the system is first set up, it operates in a single domain mode, allowing all administrative and logging data to be handled in a unified view.

Enabling ADOMs requires deliberate configuration steps by an administrator. This capability is beneficial when there is a need to separate logs and management tasks, especially for multi-tenant environments or scenarios where different organizational units require distinct access and management oversight.

Understanding this default behavior is crucial for users who are setting up FortiAnalyzer in environments where multi-tenancy or complex log management is necessary. Once administrators decide to utilize ADOMs, they can configure them based on their organizational requirements, but the system does not enable them automatically.
