Deploying FortiAnalyzer-VM using 1-Click Launch
To deploy FortiAnalyzer-VM using 1-Click Launch:
- Go to the AWS Marketplace page for FortiAnalyzer-VM on-demand or BYOL. Select Continue.
- Select the desired region and instance type. Ensure the instance type fits the size of your deployment and potential future growth. For an on-demand instance, t2.small is intended for free preview and its device support is limited.
- For a BYOL instance, select a VPC and subnet as required. Under Security Group, ensure Create new based on seller settings is selected from the dropdown list. The only open port required for the VM's initial configuration is port 443, which allows for an HTTPS connection to the GUI. You can also open the remaining ports to allow for all potential FortiAnalyzer communication.
- Provide the Key Pair, then click Accept Terms & Launch with 1-Click to deploy the instance. The next page displays a thank you message, and you also receive an email from AWS Marketplace about the subscription. Close the page and go to the EC2 console.
- The public DNS address is used to connect to and configure the FortiAnalyzer VM via the GUI.
To connect to the FortiAnalyzer VM management GUI, open a web browser and use the public DNS IPv4 address as the URL: https://<public DNS IPv4 address>. Log in with the default username admin and the instance ID as the password to configure your FortiAnalyzer VM.
