Devices

You can add devices to the CMDB through the Discovering Infrastructure process. However, there may be situations in which you want to add devices to the CMDB manually. For example, you may not have access credentials for a device but still want to include network information about it so that logs received by FortiSIEM can be parsed properly.
You can also perform various operations by selecting the device and clicking the Actions button.
