Workload Guardian License
Requirement
Requires all cloud accounts to have equal or less number of seats as the number of virtual machines to maintain monitoring.
Insufficient License /License over usage
- Monitoring stops when the number of virtual machines exceed the number of license seats for more than 48 hours.
- After 48 hours, the cloud account with the least number of virtual machines will be stopped to minimize impact.
- Storage Guardian will also stop monitoring when Workload Guardian stops monitoring the same cloud account.
Methods to avoid over usage
- Remove virtual machines from cloud account(s) to decrease the overall number of virtual machines being used.
- Purchase more seats to increase monitoring capacity by renewing license.
Storage Guardian, Basic/Advance
Requirement
- Requires Workload Guardian to be active and running on the same cloud account.
- Requires total selected storage buckets/containers data size be less than total licensed storage size.
- Storage Guardian Basic cannot be combined with Advance license.
Insufficient License /License over usage
- When licensed storage usage reaches 100% usage, new files will not be monitored. Existing files will continue to be monitored and protected.
- In case where license storage usage exceeded by 110%, this is considered as over protecting, monitoring will be stopped.
- When Workload Guardian is disabled, Storage Guardian will also stop monitoring on the same cloud account.
Methods to avoid over usage
- Free up licensed storage space to bring usage under 100% by disabling storage buckets/containers from the list of monitored storage buckets/containers. Requires 24 hours to release space.
- Purchase more seats by renewing license.
Note: removing storage buckets/containers from the cloud storage host will not free up licensed storage space as FortiCWP still retain historical logs and activity of storage data removed from host.
