Fortinet NSE8_812 Exam - Topic 1 Question 9 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE8_812 exam
Question #: 9
Topic #: 1
[All NSE8_812 Questions]

You must analyze an event that happened at 20:37 UTC. One log relevant to the event is extracted from FortiGate logs:

The devices and the administrator are all located in different time zones Daylight savings time (DST) is disabled

* The FortiGate is at GMT-1000.

* The FortiAnalyzer is at GMT-0800

* Your browser local time zone is at GMT-03.00

You want to review this log on FortiAnalyzer GUI, what time should you use as a filter?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

To review this log on FortiAnalyzer GUI, the administrator should use the time filter that matches the local time zone of FortiAnalyzer, which is GMT-0800. Since the log was generated at 20:37 UTC (GMT+0000), the corresponding time in GMT-0800 is 20:37 - 8 hours = 12:37. However, since DST is disabled on FortiAnalyzer, the administrator should add one hour to account for daylight saving time difference, resulting in 12:37 + 1 hour = 13:37. Therefore, the time filter to use is 13:37:08. References: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortianalyzer/6.4.0/administration-guide/103664/time-zone-and-daylight-saving-time

The FortiGate is at GMT-1000, so that's 20:37 UTC.

I vaguely recall that we need to convert the event time to the FortiAnalyzer's time zone. I think it should be 10:37:08, but I’m not completely confident about that.

I feel like I might be mixing up the time zones. Is it possible that the answer could be 17:37:08? That seems like a common conversion we did.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to adjust for different time zones. If FortiGate is GMT-1000, then the event time should be adjusted to GMT-0800 for FortiAnalyzer, right?

I remember we discussed time zone conversions in class, but I'm not sure if I got the offsets right for FortiGate and FortiAnalyzer.

I think the answer is B. 10:37:08. The FortiGate is 2 hours behind the FortiAnalyzer, so I need to subtract 2 hours from the log time to get the correct time to use as a filter.

I'm a bit confused. The question says daylight savings time is disabled, so I'm not sure if I need to account for that. I'll have to double-check the time zone conversions.

I've got this! The log time is 20:37 UTC, and the FortiAnalyzer is 2 hours ahead of UTC, so the time I should use as a filter is 22:37.

Okay, let me think this through. The FortiGate is GMT-10, the FortiAnalyzer is GMT-8, and my browser is GMT-3. I need to convert the log time to the FortiAnalyzer's time zone.

I've got this! The event happened at 20:37 UTC, which is 10:37 in the FortiGate's time zone. Since the FortiAnalyzer is 2 hours ahead, the correct filter time is 12:37.

I feel pretty confident about this one. I'll select options A and B - checking for magic numbers and ensuring the requirements can be implemented with the available resources. Those are both important aspects of a thorough code review.
