Limitations of FortiAnalyzer Cloud

All FortiAnalyzer modules are supported in FortiAnalyzer Cloud; however, the following features are not supported or are not relevant to the FortiAnalyzer Cloud deployment at this time:

• Logging Topology

• ADOMs

• Advanced ADOM mode

• High-Availability Mode

• Log Forwarding: FortiAnalyzer Cloud does not support log forwarding, except when integrated with FortiCare Elite Services or SOCaaS—logs can then be forwarded only to the respective service portals.

• Syslog logging from third-party devices: Syslog logging from third-party devices is supported using log forwarding from an on-premise FortiAnalyzer only.

• Logging from FortiClient EMS for Chromebook

• Fetcher Management

• Remote Certificates

• The FortiAnalyzer Cloud Dashboard widget availability differs from on-premises FortiAnalyzer:

  • The License Information widget is replaced with the Service Information widget which includes differences from on-premises FortiAnalyzer. For more information, see Storage quota and disk usage.

  • FortiAnalyzer Cloud does not support the System Resources, Unit Operation, Alert Message Console, Disk I/O, and Disk Quota Usage widgets.

  • FortiAnalyzer Cloud includes Historical Log Rate, Average Log Rate, Average Quota, and Historical Quota Usage widgets that are not available in on-premises FortiAnalyzers.

• Remote Authentication Server

• SAML SSO

• SNMP monitoring tool

• FortiAnalyzer Cloud cannot be used as a managed device on FortiManager.

• Trusted Hosts

• Upload logs to cloud storage

• Security Rating Compliance Reports

• Pre-login banners

• FortiAnalyzer Cloud can not be configured as Supervisor in a FortiAnalyzer Fabric.

FortiAnalyzer Cloud supports logs from FortiGate devices and non-FortiGate devices, such as FortiClient.

FortiAnalyzer Cloud can be integrated into the Cloud Security Fabric when the root FortiGate is running firmware version 6.4.4 or later.

The FortiAnalyzer Cloud portal does not support IAM user groups.
