Fortimanager

• Bulk retrieve config

Bulk retrieve config

1. Create a script in FortiManager -> Device Manager -> Scripts -> Create New.

• Type: CLI Script.
• Run script on: Remote ForitGate Directly (via CLI):

diagnose fdsm cfg-upload 'comment' <----- Any comment can be set, it  will be used to identify the retrieve in the revision history.

• Select OK to save.

Note:

For FortiGates with VDOMs enabled, the script should be modified to this:

config global

diagnose fdsm cfg-upload 'comment'

2. Running the script on all FortiGates:

• Select the FortiGates and select the right arrow:

• Select Run:

• Select OK:

• The script will start running:

3. Go to Device Manager and the configuration status of FortiGates should show synchronized. If any FortiGate is not showing synchronized, 'right-click' on the device and select 'Refresh Device'.

4. In the Total Revisions for each FortiGate, there will be a 'Retrieve' entry with the 'comment' in the comments section.

Note 1:

Script Status/logs can also be checked from: System Settings -> Task Monitor:

Note 2:

Bulk retrieval can also be done by selecting the notification icon on the top, but it only works if the devices are either in a 'conflict' or 'out-of-sync' state.
