Administrative Domains

Administrative domains (ADOMs) enable administrators to manage only those devices that they are specifically assigned, based on the ADOMs to which they have access. When the ADOM mode is advanced, FortiGate devices with multiple VDOMs can be divided among multiple ADOMs.

Administrator accounts can be tied to one or more ADOMs, or denied access to specific ADOMs. When a particular administrator logs in, they see only those devices or VDOMs that have been enabled for their account. Super user administrator accounts, such as the admin account, can see and maintain all ADOMs and the devices within them.

Each ADOM specifies how long to store and how much disk space to use for its logs. You can monitor disk utilization for each ADOM and adjust storage settings for logs as needed.

The maximum number of ADOMs you can add depends on the FortiAnalyzer system model. Please refer to the FortiAnalyzer data sheet for more information.

When the maximum number of ADOMs has been reached, you will be unable to create a new ADOM.

When upgrading to FortiAnalyzer 6.2.1 or later, you will continue to have access to any ADOMs exceeding the limit, however, no additional ADOMs can be created, and an alert will be issued in the Alert Message Console in System Settings > Dashboard.

By default, ADOMs are disabled. Enabling and configuring ADOMs can only be done by administrators with the Super_ User profile. See Administrators on page 222.

The root ADOM and Security Fabric ADOMs are available for visibility into all Fabric devices. See Creating a Security Fabric ADOM on page 40.

Default ADOMs

FortiAnalyzer includes default ADOMs for specific types of devices. When you add one or more of these devices to the FortiAnalyzer, the devices are automatically added to the appropriate ADOM, and the ADOM becomes selectable. When a default ADOM contains no devices, the ADOM is not selectable.

For example, when you add a FortiClient EMS device to the FortiAnalyzer, the FortiClient EMS device is automatically added to the default FortiClient ADOM. After the FortiClient ADOM contains a FortiClient EMS device, the FortiClient ADOM is selectable when you log into FortiAnalyzer or when you switch between ADOMs.

You can view all of the ADOMs, including default ADOMs without devices, on the System Settings > All ADOMs pane.

Root ADOM

When ADOMs are enabled, the default root ADOM type is Fabric. Fabric ADOMs show combined results from all Security Fabric devices in the Device Manager, Log View, SOC, Incidents & Events and Reports panes. For more information on Fabric ADOMs, see Creating a Security Fabric ADOM on page 40.

In FortiAnalyzer 6.2.0 and earlier, the root ADOM is a FortiGate ADOM. When upgrading to FortiAnalyzer 6.2.1 and later, the root ADOM type will not be changed to Fabric. Resetting the FortiAnalyzer settings through a factory reset will cause the root ADOM to become a Fabric ADOM.

Organizing devices into ADOMs

You can organize devices into ADOMs to allow you to better manage these devices. Devices can be organized by whatever method you deem appropriate, for example:

• Firmware version: group all devices with the same firmware version into an ADOM.
• Geographic regions: group all devices for a specific geographic region into an ADOM, and devices for a different region into another ADOM.
• Administrative users: group devices into separate ADOMs based for specific administrators responsible for the group of devices.
• Customers: group all devices for one customer into an ADOM, and devices for another customer into another ADOM.

FortiClient support and ADOMs

FortiClient logs are stored in the device that the FortiClient endpoint is registered to.

For example, when endpoints are registered to a FortiGate device, FortiClient logs are viewed on the FortiGate device. When endpoints are registered to a FortiClient EMS, FortiClient logs are viewed in the FortiClient ADOM that the FortiClient EMS device is added to.

ADOMs must be enabled to support FortiClient EMS devices.

Merge FortiAnalyzer Logging Support for FortiClient EMS for Chromebooks

1. Add https-logging to the allowaccess list using the following CLI command:

config system interface edit “port1” set allowaccess https ssh https-logging

next

end

2. Add SSL certificate to enable communication.

An SSL certificate is required to support communication and send logs between FortiClient Web Filter extension and FortiAnalyzer. If you use a public SSL certificate, you only need to add the public SSL certificate to FortiAnalyzer.

However, if you prefer to use a certificate that is not from a common CA, you must add the SSL certificate to

FortiAnalyzer, and you must push the root CA of your certificate to the Google Chromebooks. Otherwise, the HTTPS connection between the FortiClient EMS Chromebook Web Filter extension and FortiAnalyzer will not work. The common name of the certificate must be the FortiAnalyzer IP address.

1. In FortiAnalyzer, go to System Settings > Certificates > Local Certificates.
2. Click Import. The Import Local Certificate dialog box appears.
3. In the Type list, select Certificate. Or,

In the Type list, select PKCS#12 Certificate to upload the certificate in PK12 format.

1. Beside the Certificate File field, click Browse to select the certificate.
2. Enter the password and certificate name.
3. Click OK.

3. Select certificates for HTTPS connections:
   1. In FortiAnalyzer, go to System Settings > Admin > Admin Settings.
   2. In the HTTPS & Web Service Certificate box, select the certificate you want to use for HTTPS connections, and click Apply.
4. Enable the FortiClient ADOM using the following CLI command:

conf sys global set adom-status enable

end

5. Add FortiClient EMS for Chromebooks as a device to the FortiClient ADOM:

Go to Device Manager> click the + Add Device button to add FortiClient EMS for Chromebooks as a FortiClient ADOM device.

6. Enable logging in FortiClient EMS for Chromebooks:

You will need to enable logging in FortiClient EMS for Chromebooks, see the FortiClient EMS forChromebooks Administration Guide for more information.

Enabling and disabling the ADOM feature

By default, ADOMs are disabled. Enabling and configuring ADOMs can only be done by super user administrators.

When ADOMs are enabled, the Device Manager, SOC, Log View, Incidents & Events, and Reports panes are displayed per ADOM. You select the ADOM you need to work in when you log into the FortiAnalyzer unit. See Switching between ADOMs on page 15.

To enable the ADOM feature:

1. Log in to the FortiAnalyzer as a super user administrator.
2. Go to System Settings > Dashboard.
3. In the System Information widget, toggle the Administrative Domain switch to ON.

You will be automatically logged out of the FortiAnalyzer and returned to the log in screen.

To disable the ADOM feature:

1. Remove all the devices from all non-root ADOMs. That is, add all devices to the root ADOM.
2. Delete all non-root ADOMs. See Deleting ADOMs on page 184.

Only after removing all the non-root ADOMs can ADOMs be disabled.

3. Go to System Settings > Dashboard.
4. In the System Information widget, toggle the Administrative Domain switch to OFF.

You will be automatically logged out of the FortiAnalyzer and returned to the log in screen.

ADOM device modes

An ADOM has two device modes: Normal (default) and Advanced.

In Normal mode, you cannot assign different FortiGate VDOMs to different ADOMs. The FortiGate unit can only be added to a single ADOM.

In Advanced mode, you can assign a VDOM from a single device to a different ADOM. This allows you to analyze data for individual VDOMs, but will result in more complicated management scenarios. It is recommended only for advanced users.

To change from Advanced mode back to Normal mode, you must ensure no FortiGate VDOMs are assigned to an ADOM.

To change the ADOM device mode:

1. Go to System Settings > Advanced > Advanced Settings.
2. In the ADOM Mode field, select either Normal or Advanced.
3. Select Apply to apply your changes.

Creating ADOMs

To create a new ADOM, you must be logged in as a super user administrator.

Consider the following when creating ADOMs:

• The maximum number of ADOMs that can be created depends on the FortiAnalyzer model. For more information, see the FortiAnalyzer data sheet at https://www.fortinet.com/products/management/fortianalyzer.html. When the maximum number of ADOMs has been exceeded, an alert will be issued in the Alert Message Console in System Settings > Dashboard.
• You must use an administrator account that is assigned the Super_User administrative profile. l You can add a device to only one ADOM. You cannot add a device to multiple ADOMs.
• You cannot add FortiGate and FortiCarrier devices to the same ADOM. FortiCarrier devices are added to a specific, default FortiCarrier ADOM.
• You can add one or more VDOMs from a FortiGate device to one ADOM. If you want to add individual VDOMs from a FortiGate device to different ADOMs, you must first enable advanced device mode. See ADOM device modes on page 180.
• You can configure how an ADOM handles log files from its devices. For example, you can configure how much disk space an ADOM can use for logs, and then monitor how much of the allotted disk space is used. You can also specify how long to keep logs in the SQL database and how long to keep logs stored in compressed format.

To create an ADOM

1. Ensure that ADOMs are enabled. See Enabling and disabling the ADOM feature on page 179.
2. Go to System Settings > All ADOMs.
3. Click Create New in the toolbar. The Create New ADOM pane is displayed.
4. Configure the following settings, then click OK to create the ADOM.

Name	Type a name that allows you to distinguish this ADOM from your other ADOMs. ADOM names must be unique.
Type	Select the type of device that you are creating an ADOM for. The ADOM type cannot be edited. For Security Fabric ADOMs, select Fabric. Although you can create a different ADOM for each type of device, FortiAnalyzer does not enforce this setting.

RAID Management

RAID helps to divide data storage over multiple disks, providing increased data reliability. For FortiAnalyzer devices containing multiple hard disks, you can configure the RAID array for capacity, performance, and/or availability.

Supported RAID levels

FortiAnalyzer units with multiple hard drives can support the following RAID levels:

Linear RAID

A Linear RAID array combines all hard disks into one large virtual disk. The total space available in this option is the capacity of all disks used. There is very little performance change when using this RAID format. If any of the drives fails, the entire set of drives is unusable until the faulty drive is replaced. All data will be lost.

RAID 0

A RAID 0 array is also referred to as striping. The FortiAnalyzer unit writes information evenly across all hard disks. The total space available is that of all the disks in the RAID array. There is no redundancy available. If any single drive fails, the data on that drive cannot be recovered. This RAID level is beneficial because it provides better performance, since the FortiAnalyzer unit can distribute disk writing across multiple disks. l Minimum number of drives: 2

RAID 1

A RAID 1 array is also referred to as mirroring. The FortiAnalyzer unit writes information to one hard disk, and writes a copy (a mirror image) of all information to all other hard disks. The total disk space available is that of only one hard disk, as the others are solely used for mirroring. This provides redundant data storage with no single point of failure. Should any of the hard disks fail, there are backup hard disks available.

• Minimum number of drives: 2
• Data protection: Single-drive failure

One write or two reads are possible per mirrored pair. RAID 1 offers redundancy of data. A rebuild is not required in the event of a drive failure. This is the simplest RAID storage design with the highest disk overhead.

RAID 1s

A RAID 1 with hot spare array uses one of the hard disks as a hot spare (a stand-by disk for the RAID). If a hard disk fails, within a minute of the failure the hot spare is substituted for the failed drive, integrating it into the RAID array and rebuilding the RAID’s data. When you replace the failed hard disk, the new hard disk is used as the new hot spare. The total disk space available is the total number of disks minus two.

RAID 5

A RAID 5 array employs striping with a parity check. Similar to RAID 0, the FortiAnalyzer unit writes information evenly across all drives but additional parity blocks are written on the same stripes. The parity block is staggered for each stripe. The total disk space is the total number of disks in the array, minus one disk for parity storage. For example, with four hard disks, the total capacity available is actually the total for three hard disks. RAID 5 performance is typically better with reading than with writing, although performance is degraded when one disk has failed or is missing. With RAID 5, one disk can fail without the loss of data. If a drive fails, it can be replaced and the FortiAnalyzer unit will restore the data on the new disk by using reference information from the parity volume.

• Minimum number of drives: 3
• Data protection: Single-drive failure

RAID 5s

A RAID 5 with hot spare array uses one of the hard disks as a hot spare (a stand-by disk for the RAID). If a hard disk fails, within a minute of the failure, the hot spare is substituted for the failed drive, integrating it into the RAID array, and rebuilding the RAID’s data. When you replace the failed hard disk, the new hard disk is used as the new hot spare. The total disk space available is the total number of disks minus two.

RAID 6

A RAID 6 array is the same as a RAID 5 array with an additional parity block. It uses block-level striping with two parity blocks distributed across all member disks.

l Minimum number of drives: 4 l Data protection: Up to two disk failures.

RAID 6s

A RAID 6 with hot spare array is the same as a RAID 5 with hot spare array with an additional parity block.

RAID 10

RAID 10 (or 1+0), includes nested RAID levels 1 and 0, or a stripe (RAID 0) of mirrors (RAID 1). The total disk space available is the total number of disks in the array (a minimum of 4) divided by 2, for example:

• 2 RAID 1 arrays of two disks each, l 3 RAID 1 arrays of two disks each, l 6 RAID1 arrays of two disks each.

One drive from a RAID 1 array can fail without the loss of data; however, should the other drive in the RAID 1 array fail, all data will be lost. In this situation, it is important to replace a failed drive as quickly as possible.

• Minimum number of drives: 4 l Data protection: Up to two disk failures in each sub-array.

RAID 50

RAID 50 (or 5+0) includes nested RAID levels 5 and 0, or a stripe (RAID 0) and stripe with parity (RAID 5). The total disk space available is the total number of disks minus the number of RAID 5 sub-arrays. RAID 50 provides increased performance and also ensures no data loss for the same reasons as RAID 5. One drive in each RAID 5 array can fail without the loss of data.

• Minimum number of drives: 6

RAID 60

A RAID 60 (6+ 0) array combines the straight, block-level striping of RAID 0 with the distributed double parity of RAID 6.

• Minimum number of drives: 8 l Data protection: Up to two disk failures in each sub-array.

Configuring the RAID level

To configure the RAID level:

1. Go to System Settings > RAID Management.
2. Click Change in the RAID Level The RAID Settings dialog box is displayed.
3. From the RAID Level list, select a new RAID level, then click OK.

The FortiAnalyzer unit reboots. Depending on the selected RAID level, it may take a significant amount of time to generate the RAID array.

Monitoring RAID status

To view the RAID status, go to System Settings > RAID Management. The RAID Management pane displays the RAID level, status, and disk space usage. It also shows the status, size, and model of each disk in the RAID array.

Summary	Shows summary information about the RAID array.
Graphic	Displays the position and status of each disk in the RAID array. Hover the cursor over each disk to view details.
RAID Level	Displays the selected RAID level. Click Change to change the selected RAID level. When you change the RAID settings, all data is deleted.
Status	Displays the overall status of the RAID array.
Disk Space Usage	Displays the total size of the disk space, how much disk space is used, and how much disk space is free.
Disk Management	Shows information about each disk in the RAID array.
Disk Number	Identifies the disk number for each disk.
Disk Status	Displays the status of each disk in the RAID array. l Ready: The hard drive is functioning normally. l  Rebuilding: The FortiAnalyzer unit is writing data to a newly added hard drive in order to restore the hard drive to an optimal state. The FortiAnalyzer unit is not fully fault tolerant until rebuilding is complete. l  Initializing: The FortiAnalyzer unit is writing to all the hard drives in the device in order to make the array fault tolerant. l  Verifying: The FortiAnalyzer unit is ensuring that the parity data of a redundant drive is valid. l  Degraded: The hard drive is no longer being used by the RAID controller. l  Inoperable: One or more drives are missing from the FortiAnalyzer unit. The drive is no longer available to the operating system. Data on an inoperable drive cannot be accessed.
Size (GB)	Displays the size, in GB, of each disk.
Disk Model	Displays the model number of each disk.

Swapping hard disks

If a hard disk on a FortiAnalyzer unit fails, it must be replaced. On FortiAnalyzer devices that support hardware RAID, the hard disk can be replaced while the unit is still running – known as hot swapping. On FortiAnalyzer units with software RAID, the device must be shutdown prior to exchanging the hard disk.

To identify which hard disk failed, read the relevant log message in the Alert Message Console widget. See Alert Messages Console widget on page 163.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage FortiAnalyzer equipment. Only perform the procedures described in this document from an ESD workstation. If no such station is available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist or ankle strap and attaching it to an ESD connector or to a metal part of a FortiAnalyzer chassis.

When replacing a hard disk, you need to first verify that the new disk is the same size as those supplied by Fortinet and has at least the same capacity as the old one in the FortiAnalyzer unit. Installing a smaller hard disk will affect the RAID setup and may cause data loss. Due to possible differences in sector layout between disks, the only way to guarantee that two disks have the same size is to use the same brand and model.

The size provided by the hard drive manufacturer for a given disk model is only an approximation. The exact size is determined by the number of sectors present on the disk.

To hot swap a hard disk on a device that supports hardware RAID:

1. Remove the faulty hard disk.
2. Install a new disk.

The FortiAnalyzer unit automatically adds the new disk to the current RAID array. The status appears on the console. The RAID Management pane displays a green checkmark icon for all disks and the RAID Status area displays the progress of the RAID re-synchronization/rebuild.

Adding hard disks

Some FortiAnalyzer units have space to add more hard disks to increase your storage capacity.

Fortinet recommends you use the same disks as those supplied by Fortinet. Disks of other brands will not be supported by Fortinet. For information on purchasing extra hard disks, contact your Fortinet reseller.

To add more hard disks:

1. Obtain the same disks as those supplied by Fortinet.
2. Back up the log data on the FortiAnalyzer unit.

You can also migrate the data to another FortiAnalyzer unit, if you have one. Data migration reduces system down time and the risk of data loss.

3. Install the disks in the FortiAnalyzer unit.

If your unit supports hot swapping, you can do so while the unit is running. Otherwise the unit must be shut down first. See Unit Operation widget on page 163 for information.

4. Configure the RAID level. See Configuring the RAID level on page 174.
5. If you backed up the log data, restore it.

Logging Topology

The Logging Topology pane shows the physical topology of devices in the Security Fabric. Click, hold, and drag to adjust the view in the content pane, and double-click or use the scroll wheel to change the zoom.

The visualization can be filtered to show only FortiAnalyzer devices or all devices by device count or traffic.

Hovering the cursor over a device in the visualization will show information about the device, such as the IP address and device name. Right-click on a device and select View Related Logs to go to the Log View pane, filtered for that device.
