Prior to diving into Firewall Audits and Reporting functionality, meet the necessary requirements by installing and activating the plugin, upgrading your instance, and obtaining the application from the ServiceNow Store.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

Note:  
The ServiceNow Store regularly releases new applications and updates to ServiceNow applications. If you already have an application, you can download the latest version to enhance your existing experience with ServiceNow products. Features vary by release. The version number indicates which content and features are available in each release.

## Procedure

1. Ensure the following plugins are installed and activated.  
   * ITOM Visibility \[com.snc.itom.vis.license\] plugin
   * Discovery \[com.snc.discovery\] plugin
   * Configuration Management for Scoped Apps (CMDB) \[com.snc.cmdb.scoped\] plugin

2. Confirm that your system has been upgraded to Australia or a later version.  
   During the upgrade process, the Firewall Audits and Reporting \[com.sn_disco_firewall\] plugin is automatically installed if the ITOM Visibility \[com.snc.itom.vis.license\] and Discovery \[com.snc.discovery\] plugins are already installed.
3. Download the Firewall Audits and Reporting application from ServiceNow Store.
4. For Fortinet FortiManager discovery, review the additional requirements.  
   See [Fortinet FortiManager discovery requirements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Ct0ImjdOYXTrvaUWPBSo4g "Technical requirements and configuration details for discovering Fortinet FortiManager firewalls using the Firewall Audits and Reporting application.") for MID Server sizing, credential setup, and API endpoint information.
