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.
- Log in to your Supervisor.
- Go to CMDB > Applications, and either select a group where you want to add the application, or create a new one.
- Click New, and enter an Application Name and a Process Name.
- Click Save.
- Initiate discovery of the server where the application is running.
- Go to CMDB > Devices and select the server.
- Click the Software tab and make sure the application has been discovered.
- Go to General Settings > Monitoring > Important Processes.
- Click Add and enter the name of the process that the application is running on.
- Click Apply All.
- Run a structured historical search using these attributes to make sure the process utilization metrics are being received by FortiSIEM.
| Attribute | Value |
| Reporting IP | The IP address of the server where the application is running |
| Event Type | PH_DEV_MON_PROC_RESOURCE_UTIL |
| Application Name | The name of the application |
- 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.
