Safe Mode

Safe Mode

The FortiAnalyzer-BigData web GUI will enter Safe Mode when the Main host becomes unhealthy or unreachable from the Security Event Manager. This can be caused by a loss of power to the Main host, hardware failure, network segregation, Main host OS crash, etc. Once in Safe Mode, only Global Search and Cluster Manager are accessible. The other tiles on the home page are grayed out.

To log in to FortiAnalyzer-BigData in Safe Mode, enter the Username admin and no password. You will be prompted to change the password the first time you log in.

For example, see the image below from a FortiAnalyzer-BigData 4500F GUI.

FortiAnalyzer-BigData will exit Safe Mode once the Main host is healthy again.
