Fortinet NSE7_ADA-6.3 Exam

The collector processes are dependent on the registration with the supervisor. The phMonitor process is responsible for registering the collector to the supervisor and monitoring the health of other processes. After the registration is successful, the phMonitor will start the other processes on the collector.

The collector processes are responsible for receiving, parsing, normalizing, correlating, and monitoring events from various sources. The collector processes are phParser, phRuleMaster, and phMonitorAgent.

Reconnaissance and Discovery are two Tactics in the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Tactics are the high-level objectives of an adversary, such as initial access, persistence, lateral movement, etc. Reconnaissance is the tactic of gathering information about a target before launching an attack. Discovery is the tactic of exploring a compromised system or network to find information or assets of interest. Reference:Fortinet NSE 7 - Advanced Analytics 6.3 Exam Description, page 21

The profile database contains CPU utilization values from day one. At midnight on the second day, the CPU utilization values from the daily database will be merged with the profile database using a weighted average formula:

New value = (Old value x Old weight) + (New value x New weight) / (Old weight + New weight)

The weight is determined by the number of days in each database. In this case, the profile database has one day of data and the daily database has one day of data, so the weight is equal for both databases. Therefore, the formula simplifies to:

New value = (Old value + New value) / 2

In the profile database, in the Hour of Day column where 9 is the value, the updated minimum, maximum, and average CPU utilization values are:

Min CPU Util = (32.31 + 32.31) / 2 = 32.31 Max CPU Util = (33.50 + 33.50) / 2 = 33.50 AVG CPU Util = (32.67 + 32.67) / 2 = 32.67
