Obtaining API credentials
Create read-only API administrators on FortiGate, FortiManager, or FortiManager Cloud so the ThreatSabre Agent can collect telemetry securely.
ThreatSabre uses read-only Fortinet API access. Provision the account that matches your deployment, then restrict it with trusted hosts to the Agent's IP when possible.
| If you use… | Follow |
|---|---|
| FortiGate (direct management) | Create API User on FortiGate |
| FortiManager (on-prem or VM) | Create API User on FortiManager |
| FortiManager Cloud | Create API User on FortiManager Cloud |
After the API user exists, you can use these credentials in the Onboarding wizard when you reach Step 3 — Agent Device to register your Agent Device. If you are not using the wizard, continue with device registration and Agent installation as described in Onboarding.
