Configuring FortiMonitor
FortiMonitor can be added to the Security Fabric so it appears in the topology views and the dashboard widgets.
FortiMonitor requires REST API access to FortiGate.

-
In FortiOS, ensure that FortiGate is prepared to add FortiMonitor to the Security Fabric. See Preparing FortiGate for supported Security Fabric devices.
-
(Optional) In FortiOS, configure pre-authorization of FortiMonitor to enable the device to join the Security Fabric as soon as it connects. See Configuring pre-authorization of supported Security Fabric devices.
