Inventory
Inventory displays a centralized inventory of all FortiGate and FortiWifi devices from all FortiGate Cloud instances in a domain group, regardless of datacenter. For example, if you are accessing Inventory from the European datacenter, you will see the inventory of a connected FortiGate Cloud instance from the global datacenter.
Inventory is divided into tabs: FortiGate Inventory, FortiCare Inventory, FortiGate Cloud Deployed, and FortiManager Deployed. You can filter each list by searching for the device serial number in the SN searchbar or selecting the desired bulk key from the Bulk Key dropdown list.
FortiGate Inventory
FortiGate Inventory displays the inventory of all FortiGate and FortiWifi devices imported by FortiCloud key or bulk key to FortiGate Cloud, including each device’s subscription status. The inventory provides a centralized view of all devices imported into the Europe and global services. From here, you can deploy devices to FortiGate Cloud or FortiManager, if configured. You can also delete an imported device from the inventory.
To deploy devices to FortiGate Cloud:
- On the homepage, go to Inventory.
- Select the desired devices.
- Click Deploy to FortiGate Cloud.
- In the Deploy to FortiGate Cloud dialog, if you have enabled multitenancy, configure the following options:
| Option | Description |
| Sub Account | Select the desired subaccount to add the devices to. |
| Task Name | Enter the desired task name. |

You cannot manage the device in FortiGate Cloud until you set central management back to FortiGate Cloud.
To delete a device from inventory:
- On the homepage, go to Inventory.
- Select the desired devices.
- Click Delete.
- In the confirmation dialog, click YES.
FortiCare Inventory
FortiCare Inventory displays the devices that are registered to FortiCare under the account’s primary administrator email address. Only the primary administrator can view and deploy these devices from the FortiCare Inventory to FortiGate Cloud. To deploy FortiCare devices to FortiGate Cloud, follow the instructions described in To deploy devices to FortiGate Cloud: on page 40, from the FortiCare Inventory tab.
FortiGate Cloud Deployed and FortiManager Deployed
The FortiGate Cloud Deployed and FortiManagerDeployed tabs displays all FortiGate and FortiWifi devices deployed to FortiGate Cloud and FortiManager, respectively. The tabs also display the devices’ subscription statuses and the date and time that they were deployed to FortiGate Cloud or FortiManager. Click a device serial number to access Analysis, Management, and SandBox functions for that device.
The FortiGate Inventory tab provides a centralized view of all devices imported into the Europe and global services. However, after you deploy a FortiGate to FortiGate Cloud, you can only view the FortiGates deployed to the service that you are currently logged in to on the FortiGate Cloud Deployed tab. For example, if you are currently logged in to the Europe service, the FortiGate Cloud Deployed tab only displays FortiGates deployed to the FortiGate Cloud Europe service.
