The analyst is defining output variables (referencing a report UUID and incident ID) so they can be passed between tasks in the playbook. The syntax shown (${trigger.incident_id} and
${generate_incident_report.report_uuid}) is used specifically for output variable creation and usage.

When an incident status is changed to Closed: Remediated, FortiAnalyzer updates the incident records and reflects the new status in the incident dashboards. The incident remains in the system for historical and reporting purposes, and dashboard metrics are updated accordingly.

FortiAnalyzer does not block indicators directly. Instead, it sends the IOC block list to FortiManager, which then updates the FortiGate policy objects or external block lists. The FortiManager connector is therefore the mechanism used to push blocking actions to FortiGate.

Send Alert through Fabric Connectors: This method involves creating a Fabric Connector profile and selecting the option "Send Alert through Fabric Connectors" in the event handler notification settings. Notifications are then sent in JSON format to the configured endpoint, such as Microsoft Teams or other integrated platforms.
Send SNMP trap: You can configure SNMP traps to be sent when an event triggers an incident.
This involves setting the SNMP Trap IP address, community string, trap type, and protocol in the system's analytics or incident settings.

The command diagnose sql status sqlreportd shows the reports currently running under the SQL reporting daemon, allowing you to monitor active report generation tasks.
