NSE7 Enterprise Firewall and VDOMs Practice Question
A FortiGate admin configures automation stitches in FortiManager to trigger a script when a specific incident occurs. The script runs but does not produce the expected result. Which FortiAnalyzer feature should the admin use to verify the automation stitch executed correctly?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse FortiAnalyzer's Incident Management with FortiSOAR's Playbooks, or assume FortiView's real-time logs are sufficient for post-execution verification, when in fact Incident Management provides the persistent, searchable audit trail needed for automation stitch debugging.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Incident Management
Incident Management in FortiAnalyzer provides a detailed log of automation stitch execution, including trigger events, script actions, and any errors. This allows the admin to verify whether the stitch ran as expected and to diagnose why the script did not produce the intended result.
