FortiAnalyzer Administrator Training: Log Management, Reporting and Prerequisites
FortiAnalyzer Administrator training helps IT and security teams build the operational foundation for centralized logging. It is the course to consider when your responsibilities include deploying the platform, maintaining administrative access, onboarding devices and managing log storage.
What does the FortiAnalyzer Administrator course cover?
Fortinet’s current 7.6 course description covers platform setup and security, device registration, administrative domains (ADOMs), high availability, disk quotas, and the basics of logs and reports. The emphasis is keeping the logging environment configured and manageable.
Who should take this training?
This course fits professionals responsible for FortiAnalyzer deployment, administration, maintenance or troubleshooting. A network administrator adding centralized logging and an engineer maintaining an existing deployment may both benefit, although they may bring different levels of experience.
When discussing training with your manager, describe the work you need to perform rather than selecting a course by product name alone. For example, preparing a logging platform for a new group of devices is a different learning goal from investigating an incident using data already collected.
Prerequisites and preparation
Fortinet lists knowledge of FortiGate Operator topics, or equivalent experience, as the prerequisite. Before enrolling, review your familiarity with FortiGate operations and explain your experience to the training team.
Identify the FortiAnalyzer release used in your environment and ask which release the class teaches.
List the administration tasks you need to practice and any knowledge gaps.
Confirm the class format, lab access, time zone and technical requirements before reserving your place.
Administrator or Analyst: which comes first?
Administrator focuses on operating the platform. Analyst focuses on using its data for security analysis. For a role-based comparison, read FortiAnalyzer Administrator vs. Analyst.
A team may need both skill sets. The administrator can help ensure that analysts have a usable logging environment, while analysts can explain what information they need for investigation. Training priorities should follow the team’s responsibilities and existing experience.
