Describe the what you'd like to have changed
Add an Enhanced integration for FortiGate (new app, not the existing Fortinet vendor tile and not Fortinet FortiMonitor).
After the foundation tile is scaffolded, the enhanced class should poll the FortiOS REST API with a read-only API token and show live stats on the tile, similar to UniFi.
Suggested tile stats:
- hostname / FortiOS version
- CPU %
- memory %
- active firewall sessions
Auth and config fields:
- URL of the FortiGate (https://fw.example.tld or https://10.x.x.x)
- API token (REST API administrator)
- optional VDOM (default: root)
- skip TLS verification (self-signed / internal PKI is common)
FortiOS only accepts token auth. Prefer the request header:
Authorization: Bearer <API-TOKEN>
Documented monitor endpoints (read-only):
- GET /api/v2/monitor/system/status
- GET /api/v2/monitor/system/resource/usage?resource=cpu&interval=1-min
- GET /api/v2/monitor/system/resource/usage?resource=mem&interval=1-min
- GET /api/v2/monitor/system/session

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using the existing Fortinet foundation tile — it only bookmarks fortinet.com, no appliance status.
Using Fortinet FortiMonitor — that is Fortinet's cloud DEM product, not a local FortiGate.
A custom private app works, but FortiGate is common enough in homelabs and SMB that a first-party enhanced app would help.
Additional context
FortiOS 7.x. Tested against a hardware FortiGate with a dedicated REST API admin (read-only profile, trusted source = Heimdall host). Same API surface as prometheus-community/fortigate_exporter.
Are you willing to create a PR yourself?
No — requesting the foundation scaffold first. Happy to test an enhanced PR against a live FortiGate.
