2. In the Name field, search for <kbd class="ph userinput">Fortinet Firewall</kbd>.
3. Select the Fortinet Firewall record.
4. Clear the Active check box.
5. Select Update.

## What to do next

Create an alias and add it to an API key credential. For more information, see [Create an alias for the API key credential for Fortinet firewall REST-based discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/kqndLhHVN5D58xSGWsgUvg "Create an alias and add it to an API key credential to discover Fortinet firewalls and FortiGate Virtual Domains (VDOMs) through REST-based discovery.").

* [Fortinet firewall and FortiGate VDOM REST-based discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/RkAGAqxHMZ5_XbFupjOXLw "The Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application uses the Next Generation Fortinet Network Firewall - REST pattern to find Fortinet firewalls through REST API calls. Additionally, the pattern extension VDOM Discovery finds FortiGate Virtual Domains (VDOMs). Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.")
