Integration with Azure Monitor to capture health metrics

Appendix D - Integration with Azure Monitor to capture health metrics

When configuring the FortiGate-VM as a Network Virtual Appliance (NVA) as part of the Azure vWAN solution, FortiGate can make API calls and send health metrics to Azure for integration with Azure Monitor.

Once Azure Virtual WAN is configured, you can add the FortiGate vWAN virtual hub to Azure Monitor within Azure.This allows Azure to receive metrics from the FortiGate and display them in the Monitor console.

Note

FortiOS 7.4.2 or later is required.

  1. Go to the Azure Portal, and log in.

  2. On the left navigation bar, click Monitor. The Monitor | Overview page is displayed.

  3. On the Monitor | Overview page, click Metrics.
