FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: A hospital's response runbook closes an incident immediately after an EMS quarantine command is queued. Which first-line investigation would best distinguish the suspected cause?
Inspect EMS endpoint quarantine state, FortiClient local status, command queue and test network behavior. This diagnostic separates the suspected fault from other FortiClient EMS problems before altering security policy. If confirmed, implement: Require an explicit quarantine acknowledgement from the managed agent and verify enforced network isolation. Evidence of success: EMS and FortiClient both show the expected isolated state and a controlled prohibited connection fails.

This check would be appropriate for another issue involving narrow authorization for quarantine release. For the present symptom, begin with: Inspect EMS endpoint quarantine state, FortiClient local status, command queue and test network behavior.
Verify client System Settings log target, analyzer collector receipt, IoC rule and automation history. This check would be appropriate for another issue involving quarantine logging prerequisites.

FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: The FortiClient profile sends only minimal management telemetry and no security log to FortiAnalyzer, so an IoC-triggered isolation never starts. Which immediate corrective action best addresses the observed problem?
Include supported FortiAnalyzer logging in the managed endpoint profile and verify the full detection pipeline.
