If ADOMs are disabled, which device type can still be registered on Fortianalyzer?

When ADOMs (Administrative Domains) are disabled on FortiAnalyzer, the FortiGate device type can still be registered.

ADOMs allow for segmented management of multiple devices by enabling administrators to assign devices to different domains for better organization and oversight. However, when ADOMs are not in use, FortiAnalyzer is primarily geared towards managing FortiGate devices, as they are the foundational security appliances in a Fortinet deployment.

FortiSwitches and FortiAPs, while they can be managed via FortiAnalyzer, typically require ADOMs to effectively manage and segregate their logs and configurations. Without ADOMs, they do not register as expected within the FortiAnalyzer environment. Thus, the appropriate choice indicates that in scenarios where ADOMs are turned off, only FortiGate devices remain supported for registration within FortiAnalyzer, confirming their central role in Fortinet's security framework.
