Verifying the deployment

To verify the deployment:

1. Log in to the GCP console and go to Firestore.
2. Go to the FortiGateMasterElection table.
3. Note the primary FortiGate-VM IP address and ensure VoteState is done:

   

4. Go to the FortiGateAutoscale table and confirm that instances have been added to the cluster. Following is an example of a healthy cluster:

   

   The masterIp field displays the primary FortiGate-VM IP address. When an instance is removed from a cluster, its record is not deleted.

Verifying the instance group

To verify the instance group:

1. Log in to the primary FortiGate-VM instance using the public IP address from step 3 of To verify the deployment:. The default admin port is 8443 and the default username/password is admin/<instance-id>. Cluster information displays on the main dashboard:

   

2. Go to Dashboard > Network and expand the IPsec widget to verify VPN status. You can view the current connections between the FortiGates in the cluster.

   

3. You can find additional settings in the Firestore collection under SETTINGS:

   

Cluster monitoring

Various cluster metrics display in the GCP console under Compute > Instance Groups > YOUR-FORTIGATE-AUTOSCALE_CLUSTER > Monitor.

From here you can see the scale in and scale out actions that have been performed, as well as cluster health data.

Use Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) for additional logging information, including Function scaling.
