FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: An incident platform flags suspicious hosts in FortiAnalyzer while EMS shows no corresponding classification updates. Which first-line investigation would best distinguish the suspected cause?
Trace endpoint logging profile, FortiAnalyzer receipt, IoC rule result and EMS classification history. This diagnostic separates the suspected fault from other FortiClient EMS problems before altering security policy. If confirmed, implement: Configure the supported FortiClient-to-FortiAnalyzer log path and the associated rule/tag feedback integration. Evidence of success: A controlled log event is recognized by FortiAnalyzer and produces the expected corresponding EMS endpoint tag.

This check would be appropriate for another issue involving security fabric root versus endpoint control. For the present symptom, begin with: Trace endpoint logging profile, FortiAnalyzer receipt, IoC rule result and EMS classification history.
