The configuration of a FortiAnalyzer unit is stored as a series of configuration settings in the FortiAnalyzer configuration database. To change the configuration you can use the Web-based Manger or CLI to add, delete or change configuration settings. These configuration changes are stored in the configuration database as they are made.

Individual settings in the configuration database can be text strings, numeric values, selections from a list of allowed options, or on/off (enable/disable).
