What information is required about a device when using the "add device" registration wizard in FortiAnalyzer?

When using the "add device" registration wizard in FortiAnalyzer, the serial number of the device is essential for identifying and managing it within the system. The serial number uniquely identifies each Fortinet device, enabling FortiAnalyzer to maintain accurate records, implement appropriate configurations, and ensure that logs and reports are appropriately associated with the correct device. This identification is crucial for network management, troubleshooting, and ensuring that the proper security policies are applied.

While other options like MAC address, device location, or device age may be relevant for certain operational contexts or inventory management, they are not required for the initial registration process in the FortiAnalyzer platform. The serial number serves as the pivotal piece of information necessary for the registration and ongoing management of devices within the FortiAnalyzer environment.
