FMG_Python: FortiManager Automation Toolkit

Welcome to FMG_Python! This is a personal project dedicated to mastering the Python programming language while building practical automation solutions for Fortinet's FortiManager (FMG).

The primary goal of this repository is to transition manual FortiManager administrative tasks into efficient, code-driven workflows using the FMG JSON-RPC API.

🎯 Project Goals

• Python Mastery: Applying core Python concepts—such as REST APIs, JSON data structures, environment variables, and asynchronous task polling—to real-world networking scenarios.
• FMG Automation: Solving complex administrative challenges, including ADOM lifecycle management, sequential version upgrades, and database diagnostics.
• Professional Workflow: Implementing industry-standard development habits, such as credential masking and version control best practices.

🚀 Future Roadmap

This repository is a "living project" and will continue to grow as I expand my Python skills.
