Configuration synchronization provides redundancy and load balancing among the cluster units. A FortiAnalyzer HA cluster synchronizes the configuration of the following modules to all cluster units:

  • Device Manager
  • Incidents & Events
  • Reports
  • Most System Settings

FortiAnalyzer HA synchronizes most System Settings in the HA cluster. The following table shows which System Setting configurations are synchronized:
