    • Configuring the Fortinet SD-WAN Service Graph Connector (SGC) enables you to import physical inventory data from FortiManager into the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) of your ServiceNow instance.

    FortiManager is the Fortinet centralized management platform that enables you to configure, monitor, and manage multiple Fortinet security devices, including firewalls and SD-WAN appliances, from a single interface.

    The FortiManager JSON API is used to perform configuration and monitoring tasks on a FortiManager device. The SGC for Fortinet SD-WAN uses JSON to gather information and populate the CMDB.

    By using structured JSON requests over HTTPS, you can efficiently interact with FortiManager to streamline operations and scale network management tasks across multiple Fortinet devices. These APIs enable automated tasks within the Fortinet ecosystem, such as bulk configuration changes, device management, status monitoring, and inventory collection. To access the Fortinet APIs, create a user and key credentials from FortiManager. For API reference examples, see Fortinet Service Graph Connector API Endpoints.

    Nota:
    A valid Telecommunications Service Operations Management subscription is required to use this connector.
