A FortiManager admin is investigating a security incident where a firewall policy was changed directly on a managed FortiGate, bypassing FortiManager. The admin needs to restore the FortiManager database as the authoritative source and ensure the device matches. What is the most appropriate action?

Import the device's current configuration into FortiManager

Run a database comparison and document the differences

Re-install the policy package from FortiManager to the FortiGate

Delete the device from FortiManager and re-add it

During a troubleshooting session, a FortiManager admin runs a database consistency check and finds no errors. However, a managed device still shows as 'out of sync'. What is the most likely explanation for this situation?

The FortiManager services are not running

The FortiManager database is corrupted but the consistency check missed it

The device is not actually managed by FortiManager

The device's running configuration differs from the FortiManager database due to a recent local change

After a network outage, a FortiManager administrator notices that the managed devices list shows some devices as 'out of sync' and others as 'unreachable'. The admin wants to validate the integrity of the FortiManager database before attempting any re-synchronization. What is the most appropriate first step?

Check the FortiGate device logs for configuration changes

Restart the FortiManager services to clear any temporary errors

Run the database consistency check tool available in the FortiManager CLI

Immediately re-import all devices from the network

A FortiManager admin is troubleshooting why a managed FortiGate is not receiving policy changes pushed from FortiManager. The admin has verified network connectivity and that the device is listed as 'managed'. What should the admin check next to identify the root cause?

Reboot the FortiGate to force a configuration reload

Reinstall the FortiManager firmware

Check the FortiGate's routing table for a default route

Compare the FortiManager database config with the device's running config to see if the device is out of sync
