What are the two operating modes of Fortianalyzer?

The two operating modes of FortiAnalyzer are correctly identified as analyzer and collector. In the analyzer mode, the FortiAnalyzer processes and analyzes log data from various Fortinet devices, providing detailed insights and reports about the security posture, network performance, and potential threats. This allows organizations to make informed decisions based on the collected data.

The collector mode, on the other hand, focuses on gathering log data from different sources, such as FortiGate firewalls, FortiAPs, and other devices. The collector consolidates data before passing it on to the analyzer for deeper processing. This separation of roles ensures that performance is optimized, as each mode can be fine-tuned for its specific tasks.

In summary, the combination of analyzer and collector roles enables FortiAnalyzer to effectively manage, analyze, and report on network activity and security incidents.
