What must the FortiAnalyzer administrator do to either approve or deny a registration request?

To manage registration requests effectively, the FortiAnalyzer administrator's primary responsibility is to accept or deny the request. This step is crucial in establishing controlled communication between FortiAnalyzer and the device seeking registration. By approving the request, the administrator authorizes the device to report logs and events, thereby enabling the integration of monitoring and management features.

This process directly influences the security context of the network environment, as it determines which devices are allowed to connect and exchange data with the FortiAnalyzer. In situations where the administrator suspects unauthorized access or misconfigured devices, denying a request safeguards the integrity of the network management system.

While reviewing the firewall log, running a health check, or contacting the device administrator may provide useful insights or additional context regarding the device, these actions do not fulfill the essential requirement to complete the registration process, which is the acceptance or denial of the request itself.
