01. During an investigation, an analyst needs older archived logs that reside on a different FortiAnalyzer at another site. Which mechanism lets this FortiAnalyzer obtain those logs for analysis?
a) Log fetching, in which this unit acts as the client and pulls the archived logs from the remote FortiAnalyzer.
b) Log forwarding, in which the remote unit continuously pushes its newly received logs onward to this unit as they arrive.
c) Log aggregation, in which both units merge their live Analytics databases into a single shared index.
d) Device reassignment, which re-registers the remote unit's logging devices to this FortiAnalyzer.
02. After an analyst restores a set of archived logs onto a FortiAnalyzer, FortiView widgets show incomplete results, scheduled reports render partial data, and some event handlers are not generating events. The unit reports that a SQL database rebuild is in progress.
What best explains these symptoms?
a) Analytics indexing was permanently disabled by the restore, so the data policy must be recreated.
b) The rebuild is re-indexing the Analytics database from the Archive, and analytics-driven features such as FortiView, reports, and event handlers return incomplete results until it finishes.
c) A licensing limit was reached during the restore, which pauses all analytics features.
d) The restored archives are corrupt, requiring the Analytics database to be deleted and every Fabric device re-onboarded.
03. Whenever a new incident is created on FortiAnalyzer, a team wants a playbook to automatically enrich its indicators and post a summary comment. The playbook must key off the incident itself, not off the raw events.
Which trigger should it use?
a) ON_SCHEDULE, which runs at a set time regardless of incident activity.
b) EVENT_TRIGGER, which responds to individual event matches.
c) INCIDENT_TRIGGER, which fires automatically when an incident is created or updated and passes that incident to the tasks.
d) ON_DEMAND, started manually against a chosen incident.
04. In a generated report, every chart except one is populated. The blank chart's dataset, run on its own for the same device and time period, returns rows.
What is the most likely cause of that single empty chart?
a) The Analytics logs for this device aged out of retention, leaving no data for the period.
b) The logs for this chart are still only in the Archive and were never indexed.
c) The report's time period excludes these logs, so every dataset in it comes back empty.
d) The chart's own configuration, such as the field it groups or plots on, does not line up with the columns the dataset returns, so the data exists but the chart has nothing to display.
05. An analyst runs a traffic report inside one ADOM and notices that several FortiGates managed in a different ADOM never appear in the results, even over a time range when those devices were actively logging.
Why are the other ADOM's devices absent from this report?
a) A report can cover only one device at a time unless FortiSIEM merges the ADOMs.
b) A report runs within one ADOM and sees only that ADOM's partitioned data, so the other ADOM's devices must be reported from within that ADOM.
c) The report period silently excluded those devices because they log on a different time zone from the ADOM.
d) The report defaulted to reading Archive logs for the missing devices, and Archive data cannot be charted until it is fetched back into a separate report first.
06. Two analysts share the same All Events queue. One analyst wants to signal that a specific event is now theirs and that triage has begun, without closing it out.
Which action records that, and what status does the event take?
a) Delete the event so another analyst cannot pick it up
b) Create an incident from the event, since grouping it into a case is the only way to take ownership of an event
c) Acknowledge the event and assign it to the analyst, which sets it to Acknowledged and marks it owned
d) Mark the event Mitigated, which assigns it to the analyst and shows that work has started
07. Immediately after a large log database rebuild, an analyst runs a report that normally finishes quickly. This time it takes far longer, yet it eventually produces correct, complete data.
What most likely explains the one-time slowdown?
a) The auto-cache had not finished rebuilding yet, so the report computed its data from the logs directly until the cache caught up.
b) Every dataset in the report references a field that the rebuild removed, forcing the query engine to retry each query repeatedly before it finally returns the rows.
c) The output profile was still delivering the previous run and blocked this one until it finished.
d) The report switched to reading Archive logs, which must be decompressed one record at a time before any chart can plot.
08. A managed security provider must onboard roughly 300 FortiGates belonging to many different customers onto FortiAnalyzer. Each customer's logs must stay completely isolated from every other customer, and a single central SOC team must run all FortiView analysis, event handling, and reports from one place. The incoming log volume is high enough that one unit must be dedicated purely to analytics.
Which design meets all of these requirements?
a) Place all customers in one shared ADOM and rely on administrator profiles to hide each customer's devices from the others.
b) Use a per-customer ADOM on one Analyzer-mode unit for isolation and central analysis, with one or more Collector-mode units in front to absorb log collection.
c) Deploy a separate Analyzer-mode FortiAnalyzer for every customer so each runs its own analytics, then have the central SOC log in to each unit individually to investigate.
d) Register every customer's FortiGates to FortiManager, which aggregates and isolates their logs before forwarding a combined feed to one Analyzer.
09. During triage an analyst reviewing a single incident on its analysis page wants to launch a containment playbook against that specific incident, choosing the moment to run it rather than having it fire on its own.
Which trigger type supports launching a playbook this way?
a) ON_DEMAND, which lets an analyst start it against a selected incident.
b) INCIDENT_TRIGGER, which starts automatically whenever any incident is created or updated.
c) ON_SCHEDULE, which starts only at its configured recurring time.
d) EVENT_TRIGGER, which starts automatically on a matching event with no analyst action required.
10. When building playbook tasks that run on FortiAnalyzer itself, the Local connector supplies the actions that operate on FAZ objects. Which two actions are provided by the Local connector?
(Choose two.)
a) Open an incident record in an external ITSM system.
b) Create or update an incident on FortiAnalyzer.
c) Quarantine or ban a compromised host on the managed FortiGate.
d) Get events from FortiAnalyzer for a later task to use.
