Are reports generated in the root ADOM?

Reports are not generated in the root ADOM because the root ADOM is primarily designed for managing global settings and resources across multiple ADOMs rather than for the specific analysis or reporting of logs. Instead, reports in FortiAnalyzer are generated within individual, dedicated ADOMs that cater to specific organizational requirements or departments. Each ADOM can contain its own logs and is capable of generating reports based on its data. This structure supports a more organized and segregated approach to analysis, allowing organizations to customize their reporting according to various security or operational needs.

Moreover, the generation of reports specifically within the context of an ADOM ensures that administrators can leverage the precise data relevant to their operations without interference from global settings that pertain to the entire FortiAnalyzer installation. Thus, option B accurately reflects the operational design of FortiAnalyzer regarding the generation of reports.
