Centrally monitoring the HA cluster

Centrally monitoring the HA cluster

The Centralized Monitor menu allows administrators on the primary FortiMail unit of an HA cluster to monitor the state and activity of each HA cluster member, including CPU, memory, disk usage, email throughput, and other mail statistic summaries.

For active-active HA clusters, if a FortiAnalyzer is not used to aggregate logs, then administrators can use centralized monitoring to make log searches across the cluster members. This streamlines the monitoring process, avoiding the need to log into each individual cluster member.

Note If there is a firewall or NAT device between members of the HA cluster, you must also open required port numbers. See Appendix C: Port Numbers

By default, this feature is disabled and hidden. Purchase the feature license and enable the feature. See Centralized monitor.
