[All NSE8_812 Questions]

You must analyze an event that happened at 20:37 UTC. One log relevant to the event is extracted from FortiGate logs:

The devices and the administrator are all located in different time zones Daylight savings time (DST) is disabled

* The FortiGate is at GMT-1000.

* The FortiAnalyzer is at GMT-0800

* Your browser local time zone is at GMT-03.00

You want to review this log on FortiAnalyzer GUI, what time should you use as a filter?

A20:37:08

B10:37:08

C17:37:08

D12.37:08

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To review this log on FortiAnalyzer GUI, the administrator should use the time filter that matches the local time zone of FortiAnalyzer, which is GMT-0800. Since the log was generated at 20:37 UTC (GMT+0000), the corresponding time in GMT-0800 is 20:37 - 8 hours = 12:37. However, since DST is disabled on FortiAnalyzer, the administrator should add one hour to account for daylight saving time difference, resulting in 12:37 + 1 hour = 13:37. Therefore, the time filter to use is 13:37:08. References: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortianalyzer/6.4.0/administration-guide/103664/time-zone-and-daylight-saving-time

I think we need to consider the time zones for this question.

Yeah, I think you've got it. Option D is the correct answer. Although, I have to say, these time zone conversions always make my head spin. Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a different reality!

Hmm, let me think this through. If the event happened at 20:37 UTC, and the FortiAnalyzer is GMT-08:00, then the local time for the FortiAnalyzer would be 12:37:08. That's option D, right?

Let's see, the FortiGate is GMT-10:00, the FortiAnalyzer is GMT-08:00, and our browser is GMT-03:00. So we need to convert the 20:37 UTC time to the local time for the FortiAnalyzer, which is the device we're using to review the log.

Okay, so we need to analyze an event that happened at 20:37 UTC, and the devices are in different time zones. This is tricky, we need to figure out the local time for each device.
