Event and Incident Management

Event and Incident Management

Event Manager displays all events generated by event handlers.

How ADOMs affect events

When ADOMs are enabled, each ADOM has its own event handlers and lists of events. Ensure you are in the correct ADOM before viewing Event Manager. See Switching between ADOMs.

Predefined event handlers

You can use predefined event handlers to generate events for Event Manager. There are predefined event handlers for FortiGate and FortiCarrier devices. For other devices, you can create custom event handlers.

Logs used for events

Event Manager displays events from Analytics logs, not Archive logs. For more information, see Archive logs and Analytics logs.
