Creating a Security Fabric ADOM

Creating a Security Fabric ADOM

All Fortinet devices included in a Security Fabric can be placed into a Security Fabric ADOM, allowing for fast data processing and log correlation. Fabric ADOMs enable combined results to be presented in the Device Manager, Log View, SOC, Incidents & Events and Reports panes.

In a Fabric ADOM:

  • Device Manager: View and add all Fortinet devices in the Security Fabric to the Fabric ADOM, including FortiGate, FortiSandbox, FortiMail, FortiDDoS, and FortiClient EMS.
  • Log View: View logs from all Security Fabric devices.
  • SOC: FortiDDoS and FortiClient EMS widgets are available.
  • Incidents & Events: Predefined event handlers for FortiGate, FortiSandbox, FortiMail, and FortiWeb ADOMs are available, and triggered events are displayed for all device types.
  • Reports: View predefined reports, templates, datasets, and charts for all device types. Charts from all device types can be inserted into a single report.
To create a Fabric ADOM:
  1. In FortiAnalyzer, go to System Settings > All ADOMs.
  2. Select Create New.
  3. Configure the settings for the new Fabric ADOM and select Fabric as the type.
    See Creating ADOMs for more information on the individual settings.

  4. Select OK to create the ADOM.
    The Fabric ADOM is listed under the Security Fabric section of All ADOMs.
