Fortinet FortiMonitor 100F
Endpoint-to-Application Digital Experience Monitoring

Overview:

FortiMonitor is a monitoring platform that gives your operations team unmatched visibility to the end-to-end performance and digital experience. You can observe applications and services, from multiple vantage points, across any network, and even the infrastructure on which the application is hosted. FortiMonitor centralizes and consolidates the monitoring of endpoints, network devices, infrastructure, applications, and cloud services with a single, SaaS-based platform. It enriches and automates incident management and enables rapid troubleshooting and remediation of digital experience issues, mitigating against business and user impact.

Traditional performance monitoring tools lack the end-to-end visibility necessary to monitor and troubleshoot digital experience. IT teams often struggle to gather data from traditional performance tools to gain the end-to-end insight necessary to troubleshoot and optimize endpoint to application experience, a time-consuming, cumbersome task.

FortiMonitor is designed to give your operations team the ability to observe endpoint to application performance and digital experience. It also enriches incident management by correlating metrics and diagnostic data and automates response with run-time playbooks and workflow integration. The combination enables crossfunctional teams to collaborate and remediate issues faster, more efficiently and to continuously improve digital experience.

Deploy Key Component 100F Appliance

FortiMonitor is a cloud-native, vendor-neutral, SaaSbased monitoring platform offering key strengths in digital experience monitoring, FortiOS and Fabric integration, and importantly, network device detection and monitoring. Furthermore, with offerings such as Incident Management, NetFlow and NCM, FortiMonitor quickly becomes a platform of tool consolidation and workflow centralisation.

Importantly, one of the key components in the FortiMonitor deployment strategy is the FortiMonitor OnSight Collector appliance. The FortiMonitor Onsight appliance is perhaps the most ubiquitous of facilities in the FortiMonitor toolbox, offering a plethora of network level insights, including FortiOS Insights, all in a single appliance.

The FortiMonitor 100F comes fully prepared with everything you need to quickly get up and running, but with the added benefit of a “plug and play” deployment strategy. This unit brings significant compute capacity right to the edge—to the end-user environment, network, and remote branch location.

Out of the box, the 100F is designed to support maximum volumes of metric collection as follows:

• 150,000 SNMP metrics
• 2500 VMWare instances (hosts, clusters, VMs, datastores)
• 4500 synthetic network checks (ping, HTTP, HTTPS)
• 100 browser-based synthetic checks

However, if you wish to deploy FortiMonitor Onsight appliance where a requirement exists for values beyond these specifications, FortiMonitor has this prospect taken care of. Using the feature of “OnSight Groups” (a FortiMonitor configuration option) it is entirely possible to harness the abilities of multiple Onsight units operating in HA / LB tandem, depending on your configuration.

Upon deployment, the initial setup is performed locally on the device itself, and once that’s complete, all administrative and management functions are streamlined through the webbased FortiMonitor control panel. This approach gives the FortiMonitor 100F a familiar look and feel. Enabling monitoring at scale has never been so easy.
