You are tasked with adding public cloud accounts to FortiCNP cloud protection. After adding an Azure account, you notice the status shows as Partially running. What can you conclude from that status?

Question

Options

• AFortiCNP detected that you are using a free Azure account.
• BFortiCNP is verifying if there are enough license seats to add the account.
• CFortiCNP will take approximately 15 minutes to change the status to Running.
• DFortiCNP may still be able to monitor the cloud account.

Explanation

A Partially running status in FortiCNP indicates that the cloud account integration is only partially functional - some connectors or services are active while others are not - meaning FortiCNP can still monitor the account to some degree, making D correct. This is a deliberate intermediate state, not an error, signaling partial connectivity rather than complete failure.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because FortiCNP does not detect or differentiate between free and paid Azure account tiers in this context - account type doesn't drive this status.
• B is incorrect because license seat verification is not what drives a "Partially running" status; licensing issues would typically produce a different error or warning.
• C is incorrect because "Partially running" is not a transitional loading state that automatically resolves to "Running" after ~15 minutes - it reflects a genuine partial configuration issue.

Memory tip: Think of "Partially running" like a car engine that starts but misfires on some cylinders - it's running, but not at full capacity. FortiCNP can still see some of the cloud account; it's not blind, just limited.
