What is required for registering a non-FortiGate device on FortiAnalyzer?

Registering a non-FortiGate device on FortiAnalyzer requires the use of ADOMs, or Administrative Domains. ADOMs allow for the logical separation of data and management of multiple devices within FortiAnalyzer. By creating an ADOM specific to the non-FortiGate device, the FortiAnalyzer can effectively manage logs, reports, and configurations pertaining to that device, ensuring organized and streamlined operations.

ADOMs are essential for supporting varied device types and maintaining distinct administrative boundaries for different sets of devices, which is particularly important in multi-tenant environments or organizations with diverse networking equipment. This feature enhances the flexibility and scalability of the FortiAnalyzer platform in handling a wide range of security devices, including those from third-party vendors.

In contrast, VDOMs (Virtual Domains) pertain specifically to FortiGate devices, while CLI commands are more about the management interface rather than the registration process itself. Special licenses may be relevant for certain features or device support, but the primary requirement for registering non-FortiGate devices is indeed the utilization of ADOMs.
