Device Discovery in FortiSIEM: Device discovery is the process by which FortiSIEM identifies and adds devices to its management scope.
Role of Collectors: Collectors are responsible for gathering data from network devices, including discovering new devices in the network.
Functionality: Collectors use protocols such as SNMP, WMI, and others to discover devices and gather their details.
Capability: While agents (Windows and Linux) primarily gather data from their host systems, the collectors actively discover devices across the network.
References: FortiSIEM 6.3 User Guide, Device Discovery section, which details the role of collectors in discovering network devices.
