In addition to local web-based management and reporting, Fortinet offers complete centralized management, logging, and reporting solutions for deployments of all sizes.
- FortiManager
- FortiAnalyzer
The FortiManager family of management systems is designed for central management of appliances and policy control. It provides policy-based provisioning, device configuration and update management, as well as end-to-end network monitoring and device control.
Role-based administration allows defined user privileges for specific management domains and specific functions. Device grouping enables collections of Fortinet security solutions to be aggregated into independent management domains to control administrative access and simplify policy deployment. Local hosting of updates to the threat signature and filter database minimizes threat response time and maximizes network protection.

The FortiAnalyzer family of real-time network logging, analyzing, and reporting systems aggregate log data from Fortinet and third party devices. A full range of log records including traffic, event, virus, attack, Web content, and email data can be archived, filtered and mined for compliance or historical analysis purposes.
A suite of standard reports are built-in, as is the ability to customize unique reports. FortiAnalyzer also provides advanced security management functions such as quarantine file archiving, event correlation, vulnerability assessments, traffic analysis, and archiving of email, Web access, instant messaging and file transfer content.
The FortiAnalyzer Family includes the FortiAnalyzer-100B, 800, 2000A, and 4000A models which provide scalable levels of storage and performance to meet a wide range of needs.
Log records are transmitted from FortiGate/FortiMail systems to FortiAnalyzer systems using encrypted VPN tunnels to ensure security. Capacities range from 250GB to 4.8TB of log data and RAID levels (0, 1, 5, 10, and 50) can be selected to support desired trade-offs between capacity and data assurance. Built-in log analysis provides a central point for consistent analysis of network utilization, Web activity, Virus activity, Spam activity, and Intrusion attack activity across multiple FortiGate/FortiMail systems.
