Which FortiGate Cloud server is responsible for messaging?

The FortiGate Cloud server responsible for messaging is indeed globalmsgctrl.fortinet.net. This server plays a crucial role in managing message traffic between FortiGate devices and the cloud infrastructure, enabling communication for alerts, notifications, and other messaging services. Messaging can involve sending security alerts, logs, or updates to users and administrators, which is essential for keeping the security infrastructure responsive and informative.

In a cloud-integrated security model, the correct functioning of a messaging server allows users to receive timely information regarding potential threats and the status of their network security. The other servers listed have distinct roles; for instance, the globalmgrctrl.fortinet.net typically manages the overarching control operations for FortiGate Cloud, while globalaptctrl.fortinet.net relates to advanced persistent threat analysis and globalproductapi.fortinet.net focuses on product-related information and API services, respectively. Each of these serves different functions within the FortiGate ecosystem, but for messaging specifically, globalmsgctrl.fortinet.net is the dedicated server.
