Are output profiles in FortiAnalyzer a global or ADOM-specific setting?

Output profiles in FortiAnalyzer are considered ADOM-specific settings. Each ADOM (Administrative Domain) allows for different configurations and settings that can be tailored to the specific needs of that particular domain. This means that the output profiles you create in one ADOM can be distinct from those in another, enabling more granular control over logging, reporting, and analysis based on the specific policies or requirements of each ADOM.

Since ADOMs are designed to provide separation and management of different administrative groups or units within the FortiAnalyzer, it makes sense for the output profiles to be scoped within these domains. This allows users to customize output displays, reports, and notifications based on the data and requirements of each separate administrative domain rather than applying a one-size-fits-all global approach.

Therefore, the correct understanding is that output profiles are tied to the specific context of the ADOM rather than being a global or user-specific configuration, ensuring that each ADOM's settings function effectively and independently.
