Inventory

Inventory displays a centralized inventory of all FortiGate and FortiWifi devices from all FortiGate Cloud instances in a domain group, regardless of region. For example, if you access Inventory from the Europe region, you see the region of a connected FortiGate Cloud instance from the global region.

Inventory is divided into tabs: FortiGate Inventory, FortiCare Inventory, FortiGate Cloud Deployed, FortiManager Deployed, and FortiManager Cloud Deployed. You can filter each list by searching for the device serial number (SN) in the searchbar.

If you add devices using the FortiDeploy bulk key, the FortiGate Inventory, FortiGate Cloud Deployed, FortiManager Deployed, and FortiManager Cloud Deployed tabs allow you to filter the device list by the FortiDeploy bulk key, and display a Bulk Key column in the device list.

FortiGate Inventory

FortiGate Inventory displays the inventory of all FortiGate and FortiWifi devices imported by FortiCloud key or FortiDeploy bulk key to FortiGate Cloud, including each device's subscription status. The inventory provides a centralized view of all devices imported into the Europe and global services. From here, you can deploy devices to FortiGate Cloud or FortiManager, if configured. You can also delete an imported device from the inventory.

To deploy a device to FortiGate Cloud:
  1. On the homepage, go to Inventory.
  2. Select the desired devices.
  3. Click Deploy > Deploy to FortiGate Cloud.
  4. From the Select Display Timezone dropdown list, select the desired time zone. Click Next.
  5. For a multitenancy account, you can select the desired subaccount to add the devices to. Select the subaccount, then click Next.
  6. Click OK. These devices deploy to FortiGate Cloud, and you can now access them on the FortiGate Cloud Deployed tab.
To deploy a device to FortiManager:
  1. On the homepage, go to Inventory.
  2. Click FortiManager Setup.
  3. In the FortiManager Setup dialog, enter the desired FortiManager IP address/FQDN and SN. To deploy FortiManagers that are part of a high availability pair, enter the two serial numbers separated by a comma. Click OK.
  4. Select the desired devices.
  5. Click Deploy > Deploy to FortiManager.
  6. From the Select Display Timezone dropdown list, select the desired time zone. Click Next.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Go to FortiManager Deployed. The Status column displays the deployment process current status. Once the Status column displays that the process is complete, these devices deploy to FortiManager, and you can view their SNs on the FortiManager Deployed tab. Once deployed to FortiManager, FortiGate Cloud has no control over the device. You cannot manage the device in FortiGate Cloud until you set central management back to FortiGate Cloud.
To delete a device from inventory:
  1. On the homepage, go to Inventory.
  2. Select the desired devices.
  3. Click Delete.
  4. In the confirmation dialog, click OK.

FortiCare Inventory

FortiCare Inventory displays the devices that are registered to FortiCare under the account's primary administrator email address with a verified key. Admin users with full account management access can view and deploy these devices from the FortiCare Inventory to FortiGate Cloud. To deploy FortiCare devices to FortiGate Cloud, follow the instructions in To deploy a device to FortiGate Cloud:, from the FortiCare Inventory tab. To deploy FortiCare devices to FortiManager, follow the instructions in To deploy a device to FortiManager: from the FortiCare Inventory tab.

FortiGate Cloud Deployed, FortiManager Deployed, and FortiManager Cloud Deployed

The FortiGate Cloud Deployed, FortiManager Deployed, and FortiManager Cloud Deployed tabs displays all FortiGate and FortiWifi devices deployed to FortiGate Cloud, FortiManager, and FortiManager Cloud respectively.

The FortiGate Inventory tab provides a centralized view of all devices imported into the Europe and global services. However, after you deploy a FortiGate to FortiGate Cloud, you can only view the FortiGates deployed to the service that you are currently logged in to on the FortiGate Cloud Deployed tab. For example, if you are currently logged in to the Europe service, the FortiGate Cloud Deployed tab only displays FortiGates deployed to the FortiGate Cloud Europe service.
