Bug ID

Description

Policy and Objects

Bug ID

Description

1282087

FortiManager for each policy Installation consistently pushes "config endpoint-control fctems" to configure out-of-sync-threshold 180. While this does not cause an installation failure, the change is reapplied during every install operation.

Workaround:

Create a CLI template with these addresses and add them to fw policy.

1169450

When Backup ADOM is enabled and auto-sync is configured, FortiManager is not able to automatically retrieve the changes from FortiGate devices. Devices should remain in sync without the need for manual retrieval.

1196043

Failed to create Alert Handlers or Reports on FortiManager when a Fortinet Fabric Connection is established on FortiAnalyzer to connect to the FortiManager device.

Workaround:

Go back to the specific ADOM on FortiAnalyzer and create the Alert Handlers or Reports there. After synchronization, the new entries should become available on FortiManager.

1254367

FortiManager instances deployed on Azure may lose all dataincluding configuration, logs, and reportsif the VM is deallocated and subsequently reallocated.

This may occur during Azure-level operations such as VM stop (deallocate) or SKU/size changes. Please refer to the Special Notices for more information.

Policy and Objects

Bug ID

Description

1160047

Application control category "GenAI" is missing in FortiManager, but present in FortiGate.

Workaround:

Copy a FortiGate application list (Applist) from the CLI that includes Category 36, and insert it into a CLI template in FortiManager. Assign CLI template to FortiGate.
