Bulk retrieve config

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:

 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'. 

 

 

 

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

 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 .
