What is the purpose of automatic revision creation in FortiManager?

To ensure a history of configuration changes is available for troubleshooting and rollback

To synchronize the device's clock with FortiManager

To automatically optimize the device's performance

To reduce the storage space used by configuration backups

A firewall at a remote office started blocking a legitimate service at 14:30. The administrator needs to find out if a configuration change was made around that time. Where in the FortiManager GUI should they look first?

Navigate to Device Manager, select the device, and open the Revision History tab to see the timestamps of recent revisions.

Check the FortiManager 'Task Monitor' to see if any install jobs ran at that time.

Go to the FortiManager System Settings and check the 'Admin Audit' log for login times.

Open the FortiGate's local web interface and check the 'System Events' log.

A FortiManager administrator wants to ensure that a managed FortiGate's configuration is automatically backed up as a revision every time a change is made, even if the change is made directly on the FortiGate. What setting should be enabled?

Enable 'Automatic Update' in the device's management settings so FortiManager detects and records local changes.

Set the FortiGate's 'Revision History' to 'Always' in the FortiManager device settings.

Enable 'Configuration Backup' in the FortiGate's local settings to push backups to FortiManager.

Configure a schedule in FortiManager to back up the device configuration every hour.

After rolling back a FortiGate to fix a routing issue, the administrator wants to confirm that the device is operating with the expected configuration. What is the most reliable way to validate the rollback?

Compare the device's current running configuration with the rolled-back revision in FortiManager to ensure they match.

Check the FortiManager task monitor to see if the rollback job completed successfully.

Review the FortiGate's local event log to see if any errors occurred during the rollback.

Ping the device's management IP to confirm it is reachable.

A new junior administrator asks why FortiManager keeps multiple revisions of a device's configuration instead of just the latest one. Which explanation correctly describes the purpose of revision history?

Revisions are used to synchronize the FortiManager database with the FortiGate's local backup files.

Revisions are kept to satisfy compliance requirements that mandate storing all configuration changes for seven years.

Revisions provide a chronological record of configuration states, enabling rollback to a known-good point and forensic analysis of when changes occurred.

Revisions are temporary files that FortiManager uses to stage changes before they are pushed to the device.
