Monitoring Custom Applications

While FortiSIEM provides support for many applications, there may also be situations in which you have a custom application running in your infrastructure that you want to monitor. This topic explains how to set up FortiSIEM to monitor that application, and add it to a business service.

1. Log in to your Supervisor.
2. Go to CMDB > Applications, and either select a group where you want to add the application, or create a new one.
3. Click New, and enter an Application Name and a Process Name.
4. Click Save.
5. Initiate discovery of the server where the application is running.
6. Go to CMDB > Devices and select the server.
7. Click the Software tab and make sure the application has been discovered.
8. Go to General Settings > Monitoring > Important Processes.
9. Click Add and enter the name of the process that the application is running on.
10. Click Apply All.
11. Run a structured historical search using these attributes to make sure the process utilization metrics are being received by FortiSIEM.

12. Add your application to a business service.

You should now be able to go Dashboard > Summary Dashboards > Biz Service Summary and see your process running under Top Monitored Processes when you select the associated business service.
