Health Check

The Health Check page is only available on the primary (master) node. Users can use the HA Health Check to set up a Ping server to ensure the network condition between client devices and FortiSandbox is always up. If not, the primary node will downgrade itself to a secondary (primary slave) node if there is at least one secondary (primary slave) node existing, a failover will occur after the configured period elapses. If no secondary (primary slave) node exists, the primary node will keep its primary role.

The following options are available:
