In a FortiAnalyzer Fabric, the FortiAnalyzer can recognize a Security Fabric group of devices, and it supports the Security Fabric by storing and analyzing logs from these units as if they were from a single device. The members of the Security Fabric group send their logs to the FortiAnalyzer, which acts as a supervisor for log storage and analysis, providing a centralized point of visibility and control over the logs.References:FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide, "Security Fabric" section.

To restrict administrative access on FortiAnalyzer, two effective methods are using administrator profiles and configuring trusted hosts. Administrator profiles allow for defining the level of access and permissions for different administrators, controlling what each administrator can seeand do within the FortiAnalyzer unit. Configuring trusted hosts enhances security by limiting administrative access to specified IP addresses, ensuring that administrators can only connect from approved locations or networks, thus preventing unauthorized access from outside specified subnets or IP addresses.References:FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide, "Administrators" and "Trusted hosts" sections.

To send reports from FortiAnalyzer to an external server, you must configure the output profile. This involves specifying the method (FTP, SFTP, or SCP), server IP, username, password, and the directory where the report will be saved. Additionally, you have the option to delete the report after it has been uploaded to the server.References:FortiAnalyzer 7.2 Administrator Guide, "Enable uploading of generated reports to a server" section.

The FortiAnalyzer commandexecute factory-resetis used to erase all device settings, images, databases, and logs on disk but preserves the current IP address and route information. This command effectively resets the FortiAnalyzer to its factory settings while maintaining its network configuration, allowing it to be quickly reconfigured with the same network settings.References:FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide, "Reset Commands" section.

For FortiAnalyzer reports, an output profile must be configured before reports can be generated and sent to an external server or system. This output profile determines how the reports are distributed, whether by email, uploaded to a server, or any other supported method. The options such as auto-cache, saving reports in CSV format, or reports availability across different ADOMs are separate features/settings and not directly related to the requirement of having an output profile for report generation.

The configuration displayed in the exhibit indicates that the FortiAnalyzer is set up with a cluster virtual IP address of 192.168.101.222 assigned to interface port1. This setup is typically used for the FortiAnalyzer to receive logs on that interface when operating in a High Availability (HA) configuration. The exhibit does not provide enough information to conclude whether this FortiAnalyzer will be the primary unit in the HA cluster or the duration for the failover trigger; it only confirms the interface configuration for log reception.References:Based on the FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide, the similar configurations for HA and log reception are discussed, which would be relevant for understanding the settings in FortiAnalyzer 7.2.
