Installing the Fortinet: Fortigate PowerPack

Before completing the steps in this section, you must import and install the latest version of the "Fortinet: Fortigate" PowerPack.

By default, when you install a new version of a PowerPack, it overwrites all content from that PowerPack that is already installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting on the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent the new version of the PowerPack from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields.
