Monitoring HA status

Go to System Settings > General > HA to monitor the status of the FortiManager units in an operating HA cluster. The FortiManager HA status dialog box displays information about the role of each cluster unit, the HA status of the cluster, and also displays the HA configuration of the cluster.


	The FortiManager Web‑based Manager browser window title changes to indicate that the FortiManager unit is operating in HA mode. The following text is added to the title HA (Group ID: <group_id>). Where <group_id> is the HA Group ID.


	From the FortiManager CLI you can use the command get fmsystem ha to display the same HA status information.
