[All FCP_FAZ_AN-7.6 Questions]

In firmware version 7.6, how does on-premises FortiAnalyzer store logs? (Choose one answer)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract of knowledge of FortiAnalyzer 7.6 Study guide documents:

FortiAnalyzer 7.6 stores on-premises logs in a ClickHouse SQL database (not MySQL, Postgres, or Elasticsearch). Fortinet's FortiAnalyzer 7.6 SQL Query documentation explicitly states that log data is inserted into the SQL database and that ''FortiAnalyzer uses a ClickHouse SQL database.''

This is consistent with how the study guide describes the storage/analytics pipeline in 7.6: it explains that FortiAnalyzer indexes incoming raw logs (insert rate) ''by the SQL database and the sqlplugind daemon.'' This ''SQL database'' in 7.6 corresponds to the ClickHouse-backed log database described in the Fortinet documentation.

I recall reading about ClickHouse in the context of FortiAnalyzer, but I can't remember if it was for version 7.6 specifically.

I’m a bit confused; I thought FortiAnalyzer might use ElasticSearch, but that seems more common for other products.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I feel like MySQL was mentioned as the primary database for log storage.

I think I remember something about FortiAnalyzer using a specific database for logs, but I'm not entirely sure if it's ClickHouse or MySQL.
