Fortinet Exam NSE5_FSM-6.3 Topic 8 Question 17 Discussion

Process Monitoring in FortiSIEM: FortiSIEM can monitor critical processes on managed devices, such as an SMTP process on a Linux server.

Event Generation: When a critical process stops, FortiSIEM generates an event to alert administrators.

Event Types: Specific event types correspond to different monitored conditions. For a stopped process, the event type PH_DEV_MON_PROC_STOP is used.

Reasoning: The name PH_DEV_MON_PROC_STOP (Device Monitoring Process Stop) is a generic event type used by FortiSIEM to indicate that any monitored process, including SMTP, has stopped.

Reference: FortiSIEM 6.3 User Guide, Event Types section, explains the predefined event types and their usage in different monitoring scenarios.
